I appreciate it! I was looking yesterday and found a thread with lots of good colors. I am still looking a color for the gauntlets if you have a suggestion.

I did some searching and didn't see anything. Is there a set of comparable tamiya colors for empire strikes back armor? I saw someone use the XF-70 for the main armor and liked it. I am really looking colors for the knees/shoulders and gauntlets. I bought an airbrush recently and didn't know...

is the ESB jumpsuit still available? my email is jawafive@gmail.com wouldn't mind chatting about it.

That sucks man. I hope you can get it resolved soon. That's unacceptable.

I think I've decided to do all my damage topically for my fett, but before I go that route I had a few questions about the yellow damage on the chest/collar plate. Is reefer yellow the color used underneath or is it something like yellow zinc chromate? I can always do layered with a generic...

Will painting that on top of my acrylics mess it up? I didn't think I could mix the two. Does it take many coats to get the color nice and bright?

I have a model masters bright silver I have been using but I really don't like it. It's not bright enough and it's a pain to work with. Is there something out there not in a spray can that is worthwhile? -Matt

Are the ESB gauntlets attached on both sides with velcro? I've always done mine this way, but I just got a really nice pair of FP gauntlets and want to do it right as I'm planning this to be my last fett. Any pics/suggestions are more than welcome, even if it's use the search feature! -Matt

Are there any alternatives to this paint (aside from the POG)? I can't find it at any of my local lowes/HD/walmart. Will probably have to end up ordering it if I can't find it. If someone has the product information that I could give lowes that would help. It's a satin color, correct? I...

Best of luck!

I did some searching, but couldn't find what I was searching for. If I were painting an ESB fett with spray cans, I know that the helmet/gaunts/jetpack were using the spruce green, but what about the body armor and shoulders? Is the hunt club green acceptable or is it too dark? I also know...

Thanks! I added the boots today. and here is the other side of the room:

Not many pics to show, but this is where I am right now. I ordered a mannequin last week and it came tuesday. It was too scrawny so I ended up padding his biceps and triceps, chest, and upper legs. So originally it looked like this: after the padding it looks like this...

Personally, I loved your review and I hope you review more things that disappoint you and link me to them. Hilarious. I hate you got ripped though. That is terrible no matter how you look at it. Best of luck resolving it.

Size 10 for me please.
