Artakha's ROTJ for GeekdadX7

[Artakha]

Apologies for the pause since the last post--I have been working on this and now it is almost finished! I just need to install the visor, add the micro switch and cover up the upper right ear.

I was super satisfied with how my topper came out so I'm adding a pic (pre-weathering)

Enough teasing. Here we go:

I briefly put in the visor hoping to mask the nakedness but it ended up just looking awkward. I took it out for the rest of the pictures.

That is beautiful.

I'm starting to want a ROTJ helmet more and more, great work!

The great master himself complimented my work! I wouldn't be doing these paint ups without your color list Jayvee

Geez mate, the great master is a bit rich, but I’m rapt that I was able to give you some ideas and colour lists - the paint up looks fantastic, you should be proud bud!

Looks awesome Artakha! I have happy memories of painting an RotJ bucket many years ago now in my back garden. I wish it had turned out as nice as yours!

Okay so I shipped out this babe this morning. Before I did so, I snapped some "finale" pics with the nice camera.

Warning! Pic dump:

Wooot!!!! Helmet arrived today!!!
I threw on all of RKD’s gear that I have from his memorial sale.

His vest, jumpsuit, neck seal, girth belt, ammo belt, hip pouches, and his EE3. (The scope and mount-clamps popped off in shipping, i need to epoxy them back on.)

But still. Pretty happy. I hope to eventually do his memory honor by carrying on with his gear at charities and troops . GD why would anyone want to be a character other then a Mandalorian lol

Edit
And btw, down 56 pounds now.

Wow, looking GREAT!

Lookin great Geekdad!!

Nice work Artakha! Your helmet really works very well for ROTJ as well. Nice work! Looking forward to the rest of the stuff, especially the Jetpack

Very nice!! Great work as usual! I was going to do a ROTJ but think I’m going to do another ESB first.
