Hey, guys. So I've been lurking for a bit now and ordering all my parts. Thought I'd show my progress on a RotJ SE Boba. I'm a graphic designer by day, so I think I'm going to free hand most of the wear patterns side by side with movie stills. Anyway, on with the show...
I went out and bought/ordered most of the paint I need. I have some still on their way from Amazon, though...
So far, I've dyed my girth w/ Mini-Wax water soluble China Red.
I got my MoW RotJ Gauntlets
and I've taped off (Green Frog Tape) and primed (Rustoleum Pro Primer) them...
And given them a coat of Rustoleum Metallic Aluminum...
Meanwhile, I got my MoW Jetpack...
And I've started to assemble that with Gorilla Super Glue...
Today I'll be assembling the 3/4" PVC framework inside for the thrusters, and doing a paint test on some scrap with the masking fluid I bought before I tackle the weathering on the gauntlets.
I've also got armor ordered from BobaMaker, and I'm waiting to hear back from FettPride on placing an order for more armor and a bucket. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from you awesome folks, too! An EE-3 from Sidewinder, Wookie braids from Woodman, Jetpack hooks and a diver buckle from BooBooFett, and Toe spikes and gauntlet darts from Mojo-Fett. Most of my soft parts are being made by my wife, who sews like the wind. I'm chomping at the bit for some MoW boots and a second bucket so I can do both an ESB and a RotJ helmet.
I'd like to give a special thanks to everyone on TDH. You guys are a kind an invaluable resource.
I'll update more in this thread as my work progresses. Thanks!
