C5 Project tease...

It'll get over it. ^__^

Just a side note: EVERYTHING from this project so far but the rocket, thrusters, and helmet dome is pilfered from scrap at work.
 
Nice! The guants IMHO make sense the way you got em based on what we know to be true to the movie version of Fett....so I wouldnt have em any other way...I keep looking back at em myself when you post new pics...Excited to see how the Bucket ends up looking...any sketches of what your going for?

And what material is that your using?
 
I haven't done any sketches myself but I'll just look through the books. That's the same way I've done everything else so far.

For the helmet I'll take the cut dome, wrap and attach a piece of ABS around it and go from there.

Well, it looks like this part of the cheek will have to atttach DIRECTLY to the mandible without much of the middle cheek portion that's present on the movie helmet. I am going to try using some of the left over dome material to create the super-curved lower cheek. The hard shadow-line effect in the middle cheek will be cheated in the paintwork.

Can you follow clearly what I'm talking about?
 
Yep...its gonna be cool if you can pull it off I was gonna recommend using the left over from the dome...it looks to be about the same angle there. And he has a serious Dent...almost like its a flat surface inside of the dent like a hole then a slightly smaller area inside there and its flat...How long till you start on the bucket?
 
That dent always reminded me of the little paper thing around a Reese's peanut butter cup just not as deep.
I have only the cod and backplate left of the armor to make but they are pretty easy looking so I might start on the helmet first.
The "Cam" keyslots at the back of the helmet look kind of like a set of venetian blinds (easy) and both the earcaps will be just flat 1/2
sintra with rounded ends.

I'm gonna paint the gauntlet tomorrow, though.
 
Hey Brian, thanks for the support!

In most of the books the belt looks to me like just a plain brown leather belt with the two
triangular pouches and a buckle like an Imperial officers.
 
HELMET TEST

I think I need to cut the dome up a bit highter because as it is this way, the mandables and cheeks are too squat:
