My Fem Mando Progress (pics)

Looking pretty cool. I can't wait to see it weathered up a bit. Too clean! I've been following your BF's Jango progress and am digging it. Did watching him go through it make you want one for yourself? Welcome to the sickness once you start this it's hard to slow down.
 
Thanks man. Yeah I can't wait to weather it. I have been watching/helping Phil, it looks like a lot of fun!! He talked me into starting a a Fem Mando and promised me I could paint it pink so I was all about it. Its a good use of my time. I love doing it!
 
couldn't resist the pinstripes! hand painted some metal scratches. Hitting it with a clear coat tomw then weathering. Done for the night.

may have been asked already. but.

you ARE going to put in a real visor right?

edit: ok i saw you said youd cut the piece out. is the visor long enough ie: its behind that piece?
 
Something you may wanna consider when applying the topical weathering is using an artists sponge to create a scuffed effect. I found that with topical weathering, it looks much more realistic then trying to hand paint it on.

So far so good! =)

Yeah, I ordered the Bobamaker visor and hardware so it fits the dp96 perfectly. I just wanted to wait to put it in last.

Thanks! I do plan to do the weathering with a sponge and wipe away the excess method. I plan to finish it up tonight so hopefully I will have some pics to post.

It's Hot Pink on the visor parts
Black on the upper cheeks & back
