For me it's the jetpack... Fett doesn't have much of anything to see from the back so having it one solid color leaves something to be desired. Could've looked better with maybe mixing in different shades of green or add more metal colored parts to jazz it up a bit more.

Thanks guys!

Well... after 6 plus years of work I've finally been approved for the 501st! I can't thank the Dented Helmet enough. I probably wouldn't have been able to make it look nearly as good without all of your help. I'll work very hard to put plenty of miles on the suit from here on (more so than I...

If you like the color but are not big on the glossy finish, you could always try taking fine grit sand paper to it. It will make it look scuffed, it smooths out clumps if present, and kills/diminishes any gloss finish. I recommend testing it before doing it on the gauntlets though.

As far as 501st grade goes... I would say you can make stuff from Man of War Studios 501st quality (but it will take a lot of work to make it that way). I have gauntlets and a jetpack from MoW and I can say with confidence they are built very sturdy once assembled. I think they'll last a...

So I'm really close to finishing this thing.... After 6 years of working on this bad boy. Got to meet some people from the 501st at a convention a few weeks back! However, I've had a hard time getting into contact with my local garrison for further review of my costume. There isn't a lot left...

Looks Awesome! Can't wait to post pics with it on!

Hey guys! I know I've been kind of out of the loop (work and life have cut into my progress on the Fett life pretty hard). If you guys want to modify my original model I'm cool with it. I made it as a way to contribute to all the help I've gotten from all of you so if there's stuff you want to...

I think he's lying about this being his first time painting a bucket... But seriously, awesome job bud!

Hey all! I know it's been a good long while since I posted anything. Work's been busy and because of rotten weather in my home town, finishing my Fett suit has been a bit of a distant dream. But things are starting to gear up and I thought I'd start off with a bang and share this with all of...

well... if you want the armor for more than halloween, I'd say it's worth the extra effort of reinforcing it with fiberglass resin to reduce the risk of warping if not by pain then over time. If it's just for halloween, it should be fine as is.

My opinion... I think ESB has a very strait forward layering process and the color pallette is the easier of the two. However, I believe those who do well with an ROTJ paint job looks really really sweet.

Doing the ROTJ version. However if I get the T-visor I'd still have to get something for the chest window...

Thanks for the input guys. F4R, thank you for the link. Mr. Fett, how how does the visor from T-visor.com compare to a dark green face shield? Also, dremel disks work. How about scissors? or would that not be a wise choice for cutting? Thanks again all for your input.

Hey everybody. I've been looking into getting a visor for my helmet (and to possibly use part of it for the chest window display) and I know a lot of people like to use shade 5 green face shields for their helmets. Has anyone used the face shield from this link? Amazon.com: Face Shield, Dark...
