My Jango WIP.....NOW FINISHED

Hey Mulreel,

I was having difficulty finding the colors on the current selection of shaker cans available at Lowes. What 2 colors did you use on the face?

here are some closer looks at my painting and weathering

I don't see what state you are in but if you have Hobby Lobby near you, you can usually find the Krylon Shortcuts Ocean Blue. It is in a can about half the size of a normal spraypaint can. This is usually the harder of the two to find.

The Rustoleum Royal Blue I have always been able to find at Walmart.

I have never had any luck finding the colors at Lowes or Home Depot. And sometimes at Hobby Lobby you have to dig a little through the locked paint cabinet to find the Ocean Blue. There is also a Sail blue that is close, but I would try for the Ocean blue first.
 
Now that you mention it we have a similar type store here called Hobby Town and I remember seeing a bunch of those stubby cans. I forgot all about that until just now- thanks!
 
Okay, now I have to ask: how do you keep your boot armor down? I have snaps on mine (like Seeker). But I've noticed after walking around a Con or whatever, they often snap apart. I'm thinking about CA-gluing 2/3 snaps on my boots to keep them down. Curious if anyone else has a problem keeping their boot armor attached to their boots when trooping?
 
A couple from my troop last night at the Dallas Stars Hockey game

I almost fell down those stairs to the left in the first picture. It was a VERY close call, I barely caught myself or I would have probably destroyed most of this kit. Instead the only damage was to one gaunt and it was an easy fix with no actual damage to the cast.
 
oh trust me I was in a panic.........I walked into one of the back access halls and did a quick inventory. I was very pleased that all I did was break the hinge loose on my left gauntlet. I think it hit the stair rail when I grabbed it. I have already fixed that up good as new though.......ready for the next troop.
 
Here is one more from the troop last night. It doesn't show off Jango but it does demonstrate how a bounty hunter in shiny silver armor can move stealthily through a crowd. You may have to look close but I promise I am in the picture.

I actually photo bombed a whole bunch of peoples pics last night. Kinda fun after I got started.
 
Ahh, so that's what Carrie Fisher meant when talking about the slave Leia costume and said "if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that," lol.

Costume is looking great, nice to see it in use - thanks for sharing the good photos. Glad that you saved yourself from taking the fall.
