Darthmiller's HIC build- FINISHED!!

can you hook a brother up with measurements and such? i've got a full piece SR hic that i'm going to need to get to someday.

Bout time you show this... You Guys are gonna freak!

Most of you don't understand, Jason (DM) hates to do any prep work ....keep that in mind as you watch this thread folks.

(grabbing Popcorn!!)

I love the HIC, I really wanna do one as well...maybe next year,

got all of the work done on the box along with putting Stormriders rubber cast into the frame.

primered the entire thing white....now time for the paint

This looks great so far. Will be following closely.

It's about time this popped up on here. I can't wait to see more progress on this. Especially the side panels.

Interesting set of tools for a HIC build. A dremel, canned air and some shears. I have obviously been doing it wrong!

lookin great m8.

Looking good.

Is that box something you made or is it one of the kits that are available from some members here and over at the RPF?

Got the kit from a member of the RPF

Love this thread so far... looks amazing bro!!

rub'n'buff with a black wash?

krylon metallic silver base

brown/black wash.....very heavy wash

rustoleum Gloss

then buffed the wood with 1000 grit steel wool

are you going to leave the panel and the box the same color?

looks awesome

Yes looking very cool.

getting started on the side panels

my HERO panel will be a actual Volvo Panel that I picked up from Philip Wise.

My family had a junkyard I totally wish I knew about these panels back then, cant wait to start one of these after the ESB Fett is done

electronics

you need an ugnaught to stand next to that panel...........looks great.

Great Work....wish I had the room for one

Looking good. got to get a thread for mine. Thanks again for the hook up on the side panels DM . What colors did u use for this ? I'm thinking gun metal for the box and aluminum for the front.

Uh wow. This is looking fantastic Jason! I cannot wait to see this.

What he said

Hello all.
New to the forum. I initially toyed with building an r2 unit but I must have one of these...I'm not exactly "handy" and my wife is not a fan of star wars, but I'm taking a deep breath and jumping in
