I keep on forgetting to post progress over here. This is going to be one large conglomeration of everything I do on this project so get set for a loooong thread.

Here's where I'm at right now.

i've seen some really good customs, but it's not very often that one makes me stop and just say, "wow." i like this one, a lot!
 
If you'll take a little bit of constructive criticism... the weathering on the helmet looks awesome. However the weathering on the armor looks a little too uniform all over. You have alot of edges with no weathering at all, and alot of weathering in places where there really shouldn't be much, i.e. flat surfaces. The dents look GREAT! I'd definitely keep those. It's the scratch/flaking in the center of the armor that I'm talking about, as well as the shoulder bells and gauntlets. With the amount of weathering that you've got, all of the edges should be banged up pretty bad.
Just something to think about, man. Please don't take it personally, 'cause I love the work you've put into this. :)

to be honest, I'm not entirely pleased with the weathering on the chest pieces either. I'm not going to repaint these ones, but when I upgrade it will look much better 8)
 
Gah! I forgot I had a thread up over here. I've been working on the helmet recently since I got in my T-visor and my Range finder and stalk came in from BM. I'm wiring a couple of LEDs into the RF and it's looking pretty good. The RF really brings the helmet together. Once these are installed I can start on the inside!

I want to install my visor with Chicago screws but I don't know where to get those. Can anybody help me out with that?
 
This looks fantatic, really like your shoulder bells and the helmet kicks all kinds of arse. Great stuff!
 
Yeah I gotta say, I've seen many "Custom Mando's" but this one tops my list. you've done an outstanding job on the paint and damage. although the damage looks great on the Armor and Gauntlets, they still look a little "clean". maybe mist some black and add some scratches other than that, sweet looking stuff you got bro.

Don't worry, I am going to do some grime weathering with them, I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll use the same methods that I used on this piece
