Very nice! Ordered two of each

I just finished my pulse and today came across this. I will be promptly correcting mine to match! Thanks for the info and update. Goes to show that we will never be done with our Fetts!

Most recently I worked on my Pulse 40. I purchased a kit from eBay and was very happy with the look, feel and quality of the gun. This included a aluminum tube pressed oval for the barrel, working trigger and milled aluminum tail cap and nozzle tip. I used a brown engine/automotive primer on the...

Well, with my focus now on the rest of the costume I am happy to share some of the things I have as well as on order. Flight suit: I have an Arkady flight suit fitted to my measurements along with neck seal, vest and pouches. Gloves: XL gloves made by the talented Mike M. Boots: boots by Man of...

So I believe I have finally finished the work on my helmet. I’ve waited a while with getting final weathering and details worked out as well as adding the electronics for the rangefinder lights,motors, fans and padding. I was not going for 100% movie accurate overall but movie look with trooping...

Today I added some of the finer brush detail on my bucket. On top of that I finally added the infamous finger print smudge! I was kinda nervous doing this but, it had to be done! And I’m pretty happy with it. I will hit it with wire wool and bring the tone down a bit with aging. I posted a video...

Thee is always satisfaction when you see the progress unfold before your eyes. I like peeling the frisket off, especially when you can get big pulls. Hahaha. As far as the MQ-1 goes, I’m using a real one I picked up off eBay. I want a lot of my whole set up to be filme used items but I will also...

Hey Buda, just found this and wanted to say this post has been amazing to go through. So much good stuff! Looking forward to more

Nice! Thanks for the info. I will definitely refer back to this when I start my belt

So, back got peeled and kill stripes got mocked up. They were also painted and peeled as well. I like the fade but after looking at it it is a little off. At this point I am happy with the overall paint up for my first attempt. I would make a few small-ish corrections to ge closer to be ESB...

Good idea. I’ll have to do that on the next paint up! I want to do another bucket.

Well, over the past few days I was able to get started on the back of the helmet. Masked the hey and silver and put down some light grey and beige for another layer. Then masked those parts off and got ready for some blue green! As you can see, the fist mix of the Humbrol green 76 and blue 96...

Thanks Buda! Hopefully the weekend will give me a chance to add a few layers to the back panels. Get a bit closer to the end.

Well, with the upper cheeks masked off and the lower cheeks and dome unmasked, I laid down the green (78). I let this dry for a few hours and got excited so I peeled the frisket off as well as all the tape to take a good look at my progress. I have to say that I’m super happy with where...

Finally was able to dedicate a bit more time to my paint up. I painted the trim and mandibles in the humbrol red (73) and felt the color had too much purple in it. I red painted the red with a blend of the red (73) and red (60). This provided a better tone and complimented the base colors...
