Ahh. Ok. I thought so. I had to mask my original scratches then completely repaint my ear as the green wasn’t right. Then I had to repaint over the scratches and chips all around the white because when I went to put my white “U” template on for sizing, the scratches would line up where they were...

Martin, When you painted the left ear, did you do the rust wash over the green before painting the white marking? Thanks

Amazing Work! Just found this thread after searching for a green paint mix for the left ear. Mine was way too dark and I wasn't happy. I'm in the final stages of my ESB helmet paint. The only thing left is weathering and the scorch marks and light yellow overspray. I'm doing mine for 501st...

You rock!!!!

Thanks! I have the same vest. I glued the display in place and simply ran the wire through one of the grommet holes. Hopefully it works. If not, I will cut a small hole. As a side question: What color are the studs that hold the cod and kidney plates together? It doesn’t mention in CRL and I...

A little late to the game, but CONGRATS! I'm just finishing up my main ESB Boba armor pieces. Next is the jetpack and helmet. I'm currently installing my Fettronics system in the chest armor. Where do you run the cabling to? Do you have an internal chest pocket in your vest?

oops. I clicked on the wrong forum page when posting. apologies Thanks guys

Does anyone know if someone is making ESB Boba Gloves for higher level approval? I've contacted Mike M. several times and he doesn't answer. A while back he said he was taking a break for a bit, but I'm not sure if he will start again. These are one of the only major items I don't have. Thanks.

That’s it!!! As far as I know he is the only one who makes gloves for higher level approval. I messaged him a couple months ago and no reply. I’ll try again.

Trust me. I feel your pain. I also had the same issues but can vouch the product is worth it. I also understand what Woodman is going through. I’m looking to start my own line of TK bucket internal parts kits for display and wearing. I started printing and testing files in the summer, but...

Finished my blaster a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the help and inspiration!

Thanks Rafal! While I have been researching the heck out of the armor and I am still learning more and more about the required details. I am also finding it daunting as it is my first buikd and of course the details need to be right on this. I'm planning on building mine as a basic "all...

Of course, I just checked my multitude of ref images and found this one of someone's build. It clearly shows the required crack, but also a few more bordering the green cheek area, as well as some in the cheek. I think I will only do the required one.

Thanks! I had seen that in faint pictures but thought it was simple chipping. Much appreciated.

Hey all. I'm just ready to start my ESB Helmet paint job, and I will be going for 501st Level II approval. I'm using Bobamaker Helmet and armor for my build. The CRL states: Helmet has a real or simulated crack on upper right cheek and closely matches visual reference. For the life of me I...
