You're correct. I have to find a way to hang the hip pouches properly. I attached them to the ammo belt, that's why they are too far back. I also have a ROTJ Fett. I will finish that one soon.
yes, its a MR helmet with the infamous pinch. Armor is Fettpride painted with the old Floquil and Pollyscale airbrush paints. The shoulder armor was painted with Up Armor Yellow and Milwaukee Road Orange. I used the old Floquil US Medium Green for the Armor and CNW Green for the center diamond...
I got some additional photos. I agree that the head is high. I also think the mannequin is too tall. Its over 6 feet. I should have purchased a 5’10” mannequin instead.
I purchased the mannequin with the wooden moveable arms. I also cut the fingers off on the hand and used copper electrical wire to attach them again and make them bendable.
I would also like to install a rangefinder on helmet. Is there any type of mechinsm like the Master Replicas helmet where I can make it go up and down? maybe spring loaded etc? I want my range finder to move up and down. Any ideas? suggestions?
Thanks guys. This was my first try with airbrush paints. Let me tell you, I regret not doing it sooner! nothing beats painting a fett costume with an airbrush!
Hi guys,
I just did my entire costume over. This time I used an airbrush and stencils so I am much happier with the results. I attached several photos. Enjoy!
Hi guys, I just completed my ROTJ costume. The armor is from Bobamaker and Gauntlets are Fettpride. The helmet is master replicas. I did the entire paintjob on the gauntlets and the armor using an airbrush and I also used Rafalfett's stencils. My only regret is not using an airbrush sooner...
