General DarthMalachi goes ESB

UPDATES.

I finally received all the paint I had on order, and I got to work!

I originally used reefer yellow, but I hated how bright it was, it didn't look right to me. So instead, I made a custom mix of yellow zinc chromate with a dash of insignia red.

I feel like the darker shade looks much better with everything, while maintaining accuracy.

After I knocked out that chest piece, I went to town on MOST of the other plates

This build is actually my first time using topical weathering for most of the costume. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the process! I finished the collar, diamond, and epoxied the darts into the knees. I'm gonna try to get some good pictures of everything and update this WIP tomorrow.

Alright! More updates. This will be it until after celebration. I would have more done, but my damn compressor died! So here's some pics of the parts that I have done! Left shoulder and right chest still need the silver. Ab and back still need a bit of paint.

Yeah. That was back when the gauntlet switches were used to make the jet pack smoke. These days, everything is wireless, but if you have all of this hose running through the outfit anyway, why not use it? I love the idea.
 
I tried to make that connector appear the same as well. I eventually changed it because I used small headphone jack ones and was afraid the would break off if bumped. Still broke off anyway haha

I just ordered a set of 1/4in jacks and inputs. The same size plugs go into guitars, and those bitches take some abuse. Worth a shot at least!
