Vult's Jango Build

I updated the first post. I expect a lot more traction in the next few weeks. Some notable updates:

- Purchased and received a nice pair of Crow62 repro boots off someone in the Cargo hold
- Flight suit arrived so I should be able to start work on dying it to my desired Kamino "blurple".
- Cruzer armor has shipped, should be here by Monday.
- Cruzer BKBT helmet should ship in the next week.
- SEEKER harness sounds like its getting close so I can work on the Jetpack
- I received by Darkside aluminum Jetpack parts including white-lighted beacon.
- Based off Cruzers recommendation, I ordered 30 meters of 7mm bolo cord to build my own girthbelt.

I just need it to warm up a little here so I can get back out in the garage. :cheers
 
What I would do with the shoe polish you have there is use it a bunch....THEN get some Kiwi shoe wax. Take the wax and do a bunch of coats over the polish and itll look like regualr leather. Thats what I had to do on part of my steering wheel that the leather was coming off on it.
 
Here's a little update. All my Cruzer CC armor & holster arrived today. These are AWESOME! My Master Replica pistols fit perfectly in the holster (Ya, I couldn't resist walking around the house like a gunfighter for a bit). Here is a picture of the stuff so far:

Looking good so far! Don't forget to take some 0000 steel wool to the CC armor under cool running water to bring out the shine. The cool water keeps the polyester resin from warming up and "gooping" on the surface.
 
I began the work on the CC armor:

I also did some work on the MOW Jetpack, cleaned it up and began assembly:

And of course I have my reference photo's on hand being held by my trusty companion (my F800GS (y))

It's getting there, but still plenty to do.

This baby arrived today:

I still have a lot of touch-up and need to add details/weathering yet, but the basic colors look right to me. What do you think?

I was thinking since the Jango collar is all black anyway I will probably go back to using the resin one that came with the MOW kit and save this Dark Side metal one for my Boba build.
 
Ok, I got some work done this weekend:

First the Cruzer BKBT (love this helmet too). I polished out the CC, cut out key slots & visor, then painted. I then used the ear caps to mark where I need holes to be drilled, then cut them out with my rotary bit. The ear cap pieces are now drying then they can be assembled. I still need to get the pin striping, mesh for the keyslots, and determine what I want to use for padding. Then it will just need the weathering.

I am making my own girth belt following Cruzers WIP. I cut out the backing and bolo strands. I glued the first one down on the center line and let it sit over night while I worked on the helmet. The next day I filled in all the way to the bottom and let that sit over night. Yesterday I completed the rest up tot he top and let that sit overnight. Next step is to trim the extra off the strands, fold @ glue over the ends, punch holes, and stain. Feeling pretty good about how this came out- Thank you Cruzer for all your help!

You may also see that I did some touch-up paint work on the jet pack. That is about all I can do on it until I get my SEEKER harness and the correct decals from Lucksy31.
 
Are you planning to make the keyslots a little "nicer"?
Also, might be the flash though, the lighter blue looks to light for me. Do you have a pic without flash and outside in daylight?
 
Hello, Hasenscharte

Yes, I still plan to clean up the key slots with a file. I just wanted to get the majority of it cut out before I got carried away with the painting. As far as the color goes, the lighter blue is the exact same Ocean Blue that everyone has used. It must be the flash.

Lookin' good, Vult! I was looking for the girth WIP and stumbled across YOUR WIP! Awesome progress...
Thanks bro. Did you find it? I can get you a link if you cannot.
