    ROTJ FPH2 for Cliff

    Hey guys, I wanted to share my latest paintup for a client. This is ROTJ FPH2 number 18 from Wasted Fett. I did all the finishing work and painting. The paint is all Humbrol enamels with some topical marks done using dry mediums like Prismacolor, charcoal, and even crayon! This was my first...

    Grimstuff's Quicky Holiday Special Paint-up

    Cool paintup. It's always fun to see the obscure paint schemes. Sorry to see you had some paint wrinkling with your clearcoat. Next time I would try Testor's Dullcote. It plays well with every paint brand I've ever layered it over. Just be careful with spraying it over metallics as it will...

    General The TDH Boba boot problem

They have been an excellent boot and are deceptively comfortable. 90% of the items that come out of that props house are garbage, I agree, but the boots have held up well.

    Jeremy Bulloch's Long Neck?

    Wearing the helmet this way does make a balaclava necessary but I think that adds to the effect. Having full coverage helps maintain the illusion of reality, especially for kids who are looking up at you from below. Posture helps a lot too. You can see a drastic change in the way the costume...

    Jeremy Bulloch's Long Neck?

    This has always bugged me as I see this on my own costume and a lot of members too. I actually wear my bucket a little high to compensate and mimc the silhouette.
