Less weathered not really redder...and I mean there's only 1 hose on the right gaunt the armor dents aren't rotj...they're the same as esb and paint is slightly different on it as well. There's really alot of differences.I think aside from a ton more weathering and scratches, the only paint difference from ROTJ is the left pre-pro 2 knee (for the SE photoshoot at least) and the ESB helmet. I think the left gauntlet is redder than the right in the SE photoshoot? It's not a subject I'm particularly confident with though.
Fett 4 Real has a thread on it, and I go by what Raf said in this thread.

Also, my boots arrived. I was considering MoW despite this budget build, as with enough character, I'd figure out a way to fit them into my casual wear, but unfortunately MoW doesn't do size 8s and I wasn't planning on paying that much for CABoots. Finding decent boots outside of the community was a challenge, but these seemed the closest for the low price of £10.99 on eBay. A flat rubber sole in grey suede. The shape of the toe isn't perfect and the sole is a little thinner which will unfortunately stop me from adding the toe spikes, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make if I'm not constantly paranoid that they've broken off.

The major problem though is the red sole. That won't do. I've had moderate success with Plastidip to cover rubber in the past but I understand it only makes a rubber coating over the top, which is prone to shedding on stress points such as a sole. There's a paint brand on the market designed for this sort of work called Angelus, but I'm also considering tyre paint which I reckon should be heavy duty enough for a shoe if it's good for a car tyre. Does anyone happen to have experience with one or the other and could tell me how durable they are?
