Outstanding job!!!

Love those gauntlets!

After long time a little update. Did a new knee with finer powder. I have to say I am pretty happy with result.

Thanks!!

So here is one more picture after sanding with 1000 grid and buffing.

Mixing aluminum powder with something like XTC 3D was my initial plan. In my case I use meanwhile some epoxy that is used as Top coat for boats etc. This was recommended by the epoxy manufacturer. My trials to bring the aluminum to the surface with acetone happend by accident and now I am doing...

just dipping in acetone is not enough. You really have to brush it a couple of times with acetone to make sure that the outer perimeter becomes watery ( but with the powder on it). Main problem is that the acetone dries very quick. I guess if i sand a little more with higher grid it would be...

Interesting „issue“ that happen to me. As I usually brush my ABS prints with acetone to enhance layer adhesion it happend that I got some aluminum powder to freshly brush area. After letting it dry i sanded it and saw that it looks like real aluminum. So I decided to do a little test and brush...

Oh man. Orange peel can be grueling. Had this on Tie pilot armor. But I am sure you are going to master this.

Made some little modifications on my knee model. Printed it in ABS and brushed it with Acetone to enhance layer adhesion. Next steps are sanding to final shape and coat it with epoxy-aluminum mixture. I also received my leather parts from delta. What an outstanding quality.

Looks good!!!

It seems there is currently a Jango run. I am excited to follow you. I am also very interested how your back armor is going to look as mine of DC props has a couple of bad spots.

For anybody who is interested I will continue the knee progress in my Jango build Yet another Jango build by Jawatrooper

First trial of my selfdesigned Jango knee. It needs some mods to be more accurate. Also I need some epoxy with higher viscosity as my aluminum powder drifts away to much. Well the result is not to bad but also not good. I think the trash bin will be happy with it ;-).

My plan is to use RIT colors aswell. Usually I order the colors in Norway (shipping to Germany ). I will dye a couple of examples to get a satisfying result.
