Ok guys I need your help. I need the grip for the barrel. Does any body now ware I can get about 7 feet for less than $5 a foot? That's the only reason I don't have any it is expensive. I hate to pay almost $40 for the grip alone. Thanks guys
Have you tried making the grip from two pieces of thin styrene or sintra glued together in a T shape? You can use a thicker piece on the bottom and then round out the portion that will be setting on the barrel.
I think there once was a post on the ASAP board on haw to build it.
I thought about making the grip myself but my finger is numb from cutting the other pieces so I am going to give it a break. Plus I think the real grip will probably look better. I went ahead and ordered it today. So soon I will be able to complete the barrel and then off to paint. I have already painted the pistole/stock today with primer. I found a few flaws scratches and other little things like that so before i paint for the last time i am going to fill those in with glazing putty.
WOW, it's amazing the way this project is coming out! How did I missed this??? Keep the good work. I can't wait to see the final result. This is what this board is all about...to try to "do-it-yourself" make a Fett.
I did not like the hammer because it is a laser rifle and there really is no need for it. So I just made it more smoothed out. I always thought it was out of place. I also used ESB type gribleys on the barrel to give it more detail.
I have painted the pistol/stock flat black and attached the T-grip to the barrel. Any body have any weathering suggestions? I will post pics as soon as secol_fett's server is back up
Looks great so far. Keep up the great work. This just proves that anyone can get into this hobby and make it fun even if you don't want to shell out the big bucks.
The barrel is now black and I have put some battle damage on. I may have over done it a bit on the stock and pistol. What do you guys think? It is not done yet so I can touch up as I go. I still want to put some rust and gray colors on for aging.
