Arkady is a super star. My ROTJ flight suit and Flak turned up today. It fits like a glove and looks incredible. Carole you are diamond... Thank you.

Useful info, I'll see if I can get some this weekend and repaint them. Should be simple enough. I've really enjoyed the process so far. As soon as that is done I'll put the photos on here. Is there anything else?

You could be right, I did tone it down a little with Humbrol Grey 79 so I am not sure if this could be the issue. The mandible red I couldn't find the Humbrol correct colour so I used the Humbrol suggested replacement which is 1:1 mix of 70.818 Vallejo (Red leather) and Vallejo Model Color 982...

Yes sir! Your wish is my command! I just took the lid outside and took these. It's a dull cloudy day in the UK (makes a change!) These should give you an idea on the colours. I have used RafalFett's stencils and the Humbrol colour chart that matches the ROTJ paint requirements. I've gone...

Guys, before I go any further with this lid - can you have a look and tell me what you think? Is it good enough yet? I'm aiming for 501st so if I need to do anything I would rather do it now than when I have installed the visor or other parts. I quickly grabbed these shots on my phone this...

Isn't the ROTJ centre diamond silver in colour? https://databank.501st.com/mw501/images/3/39/BH_Boba_ROTJ_Full.jpg I mean the center rectangle

The boots are imperial boots and the member above Zom0898 sent me the girth....

Thanks - I understand it's a long road to getting it complete. I do have quite a bit of spare time to get most bits complete. I have a flight suit and Flak on order from Arkady off TDH and the jet pack is 4 weeks away from RS Propmasters UK. Chest electronics are a month away. My questions are...

Good tip - I hear the knees don't last long as ABS only. And I will try the hairdryer when I need to get them on. I've just been putting on the initial coat of Humbrol 11 to the lid. First coat applied, I'll do another tomorrow.

Ok thanks, I have cut mine all at 5mm. The dremel went a little in at some parts anyway so I will use sandpaper to get it all perfect around 3-4mm to finish. This is the second cut, third will be final finishing before washing, sanding and undercoat... All this week hopefully.

Is the edge thickness for the cod, kidney, knees and back the same 5mm? I'm cutting the with the dremel right now and I am not seeing any guide lines. A crucial stage I don't want to mess up.

Thanks, I'll err on the side of caution so 5mm. I have a belt sander outside and I am shaving off most excess today. I want to get it ready for undercoat this week so I can start painting next week. BTW it's all from RS Propmasters.

Cracking on with the Fett ROTJ build I am now cutting out the rough ABS parts. One question is on the 501st CRL it says Costuming:BH Boba Fett-RotJ - Databank " Must have a return edge, giving the feeling of thickness and depth." How thick should this edge be for the chest...

Point taken and well made
