Seeker\'s Finished Jango!! 8-8-04

Looking good Seeker!

Wes

How can you keep updating things that you already had perfected?!?! cut it out :p

Impressive, vary impressive. Your suit is going to be more accurate than the movie worn suit

thanks guys. you guys are funny too. Love it!

Turo

WOW!!!

So, what are you going to use for knee darts?

Yea, its alright...I've seen better.:p Just messing with ya Seeker. Looks awesome man You never cease to amaze!

Turo, everything is really looking sweet. I need to get off my butt and get some stuff done so I can get back to Jango in time for Comic con otherwise, I won't be able to wear mine around yours!

wow..beautiful...i hope that when i get around messing with a Jango costume, i get some help from you. Its really looking good!!

Looks Great seeker!!!!

Seeker you really live up to your name and inspire us all. I can honestly say it's after meeting you at Cel 2 that I decided to start my Jango and I've enjoyed every minute making, aquiring parts and wearing it. Your latest improvements are excellent.

I know this is a weird question, but does that chair have four four feet on a post and about 1.5x's wider than a normal chair? Just asking, because I have a chair similar to it and really enjoy it, but haven't ever seen one like it.

What a wonderful looking armor! Your costumes become more and more elaborate and accurate, guys.

Congratulations!

Wow, coming along nicely! I"m still trying to figure out how to mount the servo motor to my JD helmet w/aluminum stalk so I can finish my helmet. I know my Jango will take a very long time. You gotta be single....right? So much time in the world. I haven't had that much time since...about '91.

Very nice work. Uncle George would be proud.

very nice there seeker. gauntlets look great.familiar too tee hee hee!!!, i will also be posting some updated pics soon. all i really have to work on is the chest armor and vest and the knees, shins.

kevin

SEEKER that is truly one heck of an armor.

Those are some niiice chairs

I still am very impressed!! Is there anyone's butt I can kiss to please have the same kind of gauntlets made for me, if it's not gonna cost me my next child? While we're at it, knee armor and cod piece too? I already have my armor from Jodo Kast but this would put the icing on the cake!

Seeker! Amigo! Hermano! Donde puedo conseguir todo esto? Hook me up fellas! Thanks.

pm me and i will see what i can do for you.

hopefully Trooperkev pm you. If not let me know.

sure did.

hey turo love the knees. i am attemtpting to turn mine into glass. had a pretty good testing of the stuff backing against some styrene and sintra. hopefully i can back my knees and give them some support. either that or i may make a mold of mine and try to get them glasses.

kevin

Oh, I don't think those are like mine. Nice chairs. Mine's got no wheels, but looks like it might have, and therefore sits about 2 inches too low, and needless to say, doesn't roll.

It is black leather, and same design, similar arms, but mine's about 30 inches wide or so. The arms are just a bit out further than they should be, but it's cool.

I picked it up at a friends garage sale for $20. It now sits on my front porch and is occasionally my cigar chair.

Thanks for showing them to me.

Oh, nice armor too.

Fabulous job Seeker! I was curious, where did you get your belt/pouches/holsters from?

Impressive.... most impressive :-P Seriously, great leather work!

kevin

hey turo pm me

haha wow, cool, comfy chairs!
oh and the jango outfit is ok i guess... :-p


Scott

****, you are the Jango master, armor upgrades look amazing

seeker, was teh jango leather work your first attempt at leather working? if so, very nice job.

hey seeker always great stuff. without you man i would be lost on alot of my jango. what pattern did you use for the thigh armor? do u have one available? also pm me about the cod plate.

kevin

So shiny

What do you use to paint your armor. It looks fantastic

Don't you know Seeker by now? That's all Rub n' Buff baby! It looks amazing too!

That just makes me giddy Turo!

I thought so but wasn't sure.I have got to get me some of that stuff.

Seeker, that is one sweet looking set of Jango goodies. Awesome job!

Thanks again everyone.

Seeker, are you as obsessive in other areas of your life as you are with your jango suit? That armor looks absolutely amazing. I'll be starting a jango mystery helmet soon and I bought all of my Seeker approved paints and rub n' Buff!

In some way yes. I'm somewhat stubborn with things that I like to see done right.

Glad to help in any which way I can.

Turo

wow im sure yo uknow this allready but WOW!!!! your like the charles manson of jango fetts!!! good job!

Ho-Hum, some more hyper-accurate freakin' awesome jaw-dropping cool fantastic Jango armor by Seeker...

bro!!



-Rex

wow! What an excellent job Seeker.

hey Seeker. I see you have a cool Star Wars tattoo. Please pm me.

Color is real nice there Turo, is it a custom blend??? One thing I would say if your seamstress can do- let out the legs just a little bit, they look a little too fitted. I did that the first time I sewed mine, I took them in a bit so let out the seam a bit and it made a big difference. I also think you may want to look for darker gloves now with the new jumpsuit.

wow Your Jango's looking good.

hey, maybe i missed something but whys your jumpsuit purple? i knew it had a purple tint but i didnt think it was that purple! please tell me because im very curious now!




Scott

In certain published pictures, his jumsuit is definitely purple and Seeker has it dead on to match those pics with just the right bit of faded look to it.

It looks a bit too purple to me. Everything else is looking great though.

Thanks for the great feedback guys.

Mirax - it was already nice purple already, but I have dyed it to much the publicity photos like you said I'm still dying the jumsuit with a little bit of blue tint to it. Then after that i'm gonna fade it as much as i can. For weatheing I'm gonna airbrush some Geonosis Arena dust to it.

It appears tight right? The reason it looks that way now is beacause i have the straps of both the knees and shins on top of the jumpsuit. Once i make the holes for the straps, hopefully it will look better. Or unless you meant the codpiece area?

Thanks again

Ah, that is probably it then Turo.

wow, great work! while im painting my helmet im wondering, how can i get a goo dclean line in the silver and dark blue areas on the cheeks? i tried masking but its not to good, so i think ill try just using a brush. i put a hair dryer to it and the rub n buff seams dry to me, it will not smear anymore.

Lookin good seeker, lookin **** good. Inspirational.

I'd like to see a comparison of the old shins to the new ones.

Shins look great. As well as the gauntlets. Can't see much of a difference between yours and the real thing.

- heh heh thanks man.

Subtle but those are the things that make the difference Looking awesome, can't wait to see it at Comic Con!!!

I just wish my boots still had that much tread on them. I couldn't help it, they became my favorite shoes! Great work as usual.

Holy Sheep fit !

Turo .. you're insane .. certifiable.

I can honestly say, that by the time you're done with this version, ppl would be hard pressed to find ANY difference between your suit and the CII display ...

I can't see what you could possibly upgrade after this round. Repairs here and there from your "Con Hopping" maybe, but not upgrades ....

You ARE jango man .. inside and out ...

FP

You the man, Turo... Like i said before, when i get around jango costuming, you gonna hear a lot from me,

I see your finally starting to get the hang of this costuming thing.
Ron

Thanks fellas. It means alot to me. Thanks for the inputs and segestions.

thanks again.
Your friendly neighbor Turo.

Now how is it that I'm BANNED and I could still post?

AH-HA!

Take that, Turo!

**** turo you **** me off!!!! just when i thought the bar couldnt get any higher i see this post. sucky thing is, i dont have the &#36;&#36; to upgrade my rig anymore! wah!
seriously though, nice work!

sean

Just right. Perfect Jango color.

You just need to add the saber scorches around the collar.

It looks better, but still too purple IMO.

HHHMMMMMM

Hmm, I think I really like it Turo. If you are going for the publicity look, then I think it works well. Why not post some comparison pics for us next to the look you are going for.

I like it. Looks like the "crouching jango" publicity shot. dead on.

Ok - I give in. It's no biggie but I'm now part of the DENTED HELMET!! Woo Hoo. That's pretty bold on my part but i did it.

Since I like it rough, I'm turning my Jango towards the dusty, grainy, dirty Arena Battle Jango.

Needs more weathering.

That's pretty darn cool there Turo!!!

That's pretty sweet there Turo. I like it. And the color of your suit looks darn close to the publicity pic I have on my wall. I think you got it.

I knew you were going for the crouching Jango look!
Hmmmm.....I love the idea of the "dent", I've thought of doing that before too. But could you post some comparison shots between your dent and the screen used one?
Again, the jumpsuit color is perfect and I gotta get me some of those shins!
Now when are you going to bust out the crouching Jango pose??

OSK

at first i thought turo's dent looked "off", but look at the foregoing.

thanks guys. Here's a pic of the color that I've been striving for. I think I'm very happy with what I have now. Just wash it a few more times, then I'll do the dust weathering.

<image src=http://www.r2ro.com/images/colordiff.jpg>

That looks much better. That looks really close to what you're striving for. It must've been that picture or the lighting that made it look off.

UGH!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!

Dude, that's exactly what I was going to do with mine but I couldn't figure out how to do it!

How'd you do it?
:p

Right on, that looks good. Is that all you are doing to fade it, washing it? I need to do that to my jumpsuit.

****, Seeker! When I first started my Jango costume, I wanted to make it as movie-accurate as possible. Now, I aspire to make it as Seeker-accurate as possible!
And I'm even thinking of getting a tatoo. You're a bad influence, man (in a good way).

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Foxbatkllr - Thanks for the approval on the color. you had me worried there. :p

Mirax - I know that the color for some reason comes off a little everytime you washed it. I guess there's some left over dye that didnt really settled in. I notice when i place it on the tub, some of the dye comes off. I love it. that means if i could go darker I dont have to worry to much. I just wash it.

Baddblood - How did i do what? do you mean how I dyed it?

Rammage - my pleasure.

While I personally would still go with something a little more blue, I think you got it pretty dead on to the real thing, at least according to that picture. I like more blue than is probably accurate, but I guess I'm just one of those guys who doesn't want to be caught wearing a purple jumpsuit :p

Ahhh! so its just you that feels weird about purple . No worries here. :p

See you guys next Tuesday. Off to see the girlfriend.

The dent bro, the dent

I was going to put that on my helmet but I didn't have enough reference nor did I have the guts to cut a hole and fill it with bondo. S how did you do yours?

dremel ! it was pretty funny to see that thing with a hole in it...it was like seeing his prized posession with a gun shot wound !!

Oops missed the question. heh heh.

Thanks Gotmaul. I'll post pics tonite.

I was just wondering what the common consensus was on when Jango received the dent in his bucket? Was it during the skirmish with OB1?
