Woah, thank you all so much for the kind words - it really does mean a lot coming from you guys!
I'm relieved that the boot armour looks okay, I was a bit worried about them. Thanks for the heads up FettFanatic, I'll see if I can get some shots of them on some boots!
Sorry about the lack of updates recently :rolleyes I seem to have somehow moved to Hoth without realising it..the weather has been useless! I'm sure any UK based Fetts out there will agree...
On to some progress!
Here are some SPC Boba gauntlets, which I'm in the process of modifying at the moment for Jango. The sizing seems perfect and they are amazing files! Hats off to Skupilkinson, he is a pepakura god!
And here's my new baby!!
Asok does an amazing job with these buckets...I honestly couldn't be happier with this helmet, and I'm super excited about working on it. I buffed it with steel wool a few days ago, but this morning I found some chrome polish and worked on it for a while. I'm quite happy with the result
I'm a bit wary of making it too shiny though, as it won't look right with the rest of the armour pieces! I should probably stop buffing it before I get carried away, but it's SO THERAPEUTIC, lol.
I noticed that in these pics, the mandible on the left looks wonky - it's cool, I just haven't filed it down yet. I'm gonna leave that little block at the bottom until I'm ready to paint it, just as a bit of support.
With any luck the paint should be delivered tomorrow, and hopefully the weather will improve so that I can get some colour onto it! Yaaaay!
