Awesome work Dark-Side, I'm pretty sure that your first knees were made by you! And, as always, you have done an impresive, clean, and really accurate work!

When I see them it's like see an (good looking, of course) Italian girl, like this :eek:

:lol:

Well, no more words :cheers

That is cool!!! How do you keep from breaking them when you move? I never did figure that part out.
 
WOW!!! Those are the ultimate. I just want to keep going back to the pics to look at them over and over again.(y)
 
i'm the weathering guy here... when Darkside showed me the alu finish i felt my jaws falling away!

About the weathering, i know it's not a great job, but i had very limited resources and time!

anyway, coldcast FTW!!!

You guys better watch out, Dark-Side's head is going to get so BIG that it won't fit into his screen-cast helmet anymore!!!!:lol:

Beautiful knees again... as for the weathering, so so!:p J/K:lol:
 
Those most certainly are gorgeous knees, no doubts there. (y)

Still, I'd feel much less paranoid of damaging/breaking them by kneeling if they were Hyperfirm style rubber knees. ;)
 
Ay! Fabrizio,
Those are freaken amazing....:love
Yo quiero unos si?:D Sign me up if one day if you are
thinking of doing a run...hehe! (y)
 
I'm really happy you like my work!
Cruzer,don't worry,my head is ok and my helmet will fit on it perfectly!

About make them in Hyperfirm i want say this:
My philosophy for my costume is to try to have all the pieces "movie accurate".That means,try to reproduce the same shape with the same materials.
So in the real jango costume the knee are in fiberglass (meaby also CC) but not in rubber\Hyperfirm.
Other point... this my first CC pull in my life, and speaking with Cruzer, I understad tha i was really lucky to find the right "formula" for a really nice CC looking with out make 10 test pull and buy special kind of resins.
You never could have the same result with Hyperfirm.
I made a stupid joke with some my friends telling them that my knees was made in real aluminum and everyone belived that!
If i use the polish for the silver on them, you can use them like a mirrow!

About the damaging/breaking, i can say that my first knee was in "ugly plastic" vacumformed (no ABS or STIRENE) and i never broken them while i was trooping.(i only broke a side piece in the bag when i was going on the C4 in LA...) Those are in fiberglass, and for a normal use ( walk,make pics with people and kids or display) they are enought strong:)

Sure that if you want go on Kamino and make a match fight with obi wan, you should broken them!

"RUN"
mmmm in this moment i really don't have a lot time to make a big run...this weekend i'll try to make another kit just to understand better the time to make them and how much material i must use...after i will estimate price and how many copies i'll can do.


P.S. Teacher Cruzer please correct all my english errors!

P.P.S. FettOfficer I'm not Spanish....I'm Italian!.....:lol:
