JasonTheConner Holy potatoes. It's been a while. Check out this post in my thread: https://www.thedentedhelmet.com/forums/threads/deathproofs-rotj-fett-bh-32794.22777/post-370152

Hey Fetts, I know this thread is 11 years old, but i figured I’d continue it. Due to the pandemic, I have a similar beard to the OP and have witnessed the “tumor-like” growth when I put in my balaclava to hide my beard. My neck seal does not help. Obviously, not going to trim the beard and a...

So sorry to hear this Carole. You’ve got a community of people wearing your name, and we are all thankful for everything you’ve done for us. Is there anything that you need? Just reach out to us.

Looking good! She’ll definitely appreciate the padding on that. With the tanks added on, that sharp lip could get a bit uncomfortable. Keep it up!

I agree that spray paint is really tough to get the right colour. It’s also extremely limited. check out the Pantone colour from the 501st CRL and compare it to hunt club green or similar greens. I mean, hunt club is even different between Canada and the US, the US being a better shade.

Dark washing could help, but yes, it’s a very vibrant green. To kill vibrancy, it’s good to dull it with a mix of the green used with some darker greys. However, this might create more issues and it might be easier to mask your damage, which looks great, and then lay down the right green and...

Just checked with him - yup. Still makes them. They are definitely child sized though and he’s booking into the fall. Definitely contact him though. Great guy :)

Hey full metal fett ! My buddy Terry has made them in the past. More child-size I believe. Not sure if he still does them, but I’d give him a shout. All cast, not printed. https://www.panda-props.com/

Yes, the crotch is definitely low. The pouches should be more on your thighs.

You can always go to machinecraft for anything metal. Highly recommended.

Using a toothpick or XS hobby brush to mask will help reduce the 'blob' look. It's tedious, but it gets the job done. For the shoulders/knees I have a paint chart with humbrols on my build thread. Not sure what it would be if you want to go with rattlecan. You don't need new...

Just got through a parade yesterday and had to hold the blaster for at least 3 hours straight. Definitely heavier, but after a while the jetpack pain makes you forget about the blaster pain. It all works out. Plus, my arms are super beefy now :)

I’m wondering if you have too much hose. It really shouldn’t stick so far away from your arm under the sleeve. Having less hose would keep it tighter to your arm.

A few hours of acrylic washes and weathering. I think my workshop has cooler lighting so the colours arent matched up to the originals in the photos. Original EE3 included for reference.

I agree. It’s definitely looking better, but close the gaps in the armour. The braids should be a bit more inward - there‘s a big gap to that shoulder. Try positioning your hoses better - they look a little awkwardly bent. Definitely getting there!
