Hey guys, ive still been lugging away at my fett build. Ive been kinda busy, I managed to sell my old gauntlets, and then went and purchased a set off of boba trooper (highly recommend). I also purchase one of Terminal fettlers RF, absoultly stunning piece, which also had the LED circuit board installed
And I also ordered a helmet, sadly it hasnt arrived yet but hopefully soon
Out of the three things that I ordered, two of them have arrived, sadly not my helmet. Firstly I sold off my old gauntlets, nothing wrong with them just I wanted something a little bit more accurate and to have some sharper edges and details. I managed to get a beautiful set with full switch and led kit for a good price, thanks for the awesome business Bobatrooper
These are straight out of the box they were sent in, they do require a sand and a little bit of filler here and there but overall there really good. There cast in polyurethane plastic so are strong yet light, they come pretty much finished, just need to get the gauntlet darts and wire up the LED. My only problem is that the left gauntlet wont close, seems my forearm is two big. So im going to have to add about 5cm to the edge to get it to fit properly, nothing much compared to my other gaunts, the right gauntlet fits like a glove strangely enough :confused
And secondaly, I love this more than the gauntlets actually, my range finder topper. This thing is a work of art, hand crafted out of aluminium and painted a flat black by Terminalfettler himself
Thank you so much mate, so stoked about it lol. The topper has then been paired with an LED circuit, that fits snuggly in the topper and activates when lowered, the lights blink in intervals just like it should.It breaks down very easy as well, with two powerful magnets holding the clear section in place. The only work I had to do was glue the little black window on. I'll be mounting a servo in the helmet linked to my gauntlet to opperate the rage finder as well
So thats what ive got so far, fingers crossed I can update again tomorrow if my helmet turns up, I can then spend the week documenting me trimming and prepping the piece ready for paint. Im planning on completing these gaunts come January//February as I want to get my armour and paint every thing at the same time. Should be ordering my flack vest and girth belt as well just after Christmas so the fett is coming together nicely.
If anyone knows a good way of making a gauntlet bigger (I know that different makers vary in size so im thinking it must be common) Can anyone give me the best method of doing so?
Cheers for looking,
Welsh
