Got my Fettronics display in today! Love how quick and easy it is to setup. I'll end up putting a grommet behind the chest piece to run the wires through and attach my battery pack on the lower part of my side with some velcro. I'm also aiming to get all my armor pieces attached to my vest this...

I agree entirely. I easily spent months going through TDH and finding different WIPs and other ESB Bobas to reference. There's countless great resources on here!

I appreciate it! Thank you!

Since everything here is painted I wanted to set them onto my flak vest and get a look as to what it'll look like when they're attached. Honestly, it's awesome to have all these pieces painted and sealed. It's a handful of things checked off the list and now I just get to play the waiting game...

Here is a look at both shoulder pieces together in some good natural lighting. Super stoked to get the Mythosaur sigil painted on and seal everything up!

& then for the yellow, I started the same way. From the beginning... Mask first! Then it was my first layer of yellow. This is Humbrol #154. This yellow is exceptionally light when you spray it on, so I did 2 layers just to be sure. So long as you have total coverage so that it shines through...

We'll start with the right shoulder. First things first with painting anything Boba, gotta mask the damage off first. This angle is a bit off because I did a time lapse of painting and didn't get a front view with the masking on, but I'm sure you all get the point... I put on my first initial...

Good afternoon, fellow Hunters and Hunt-ettes! Back with another update for you all. Today I accomplished a few things. I repainted my cod and kidney armor so I have all the same shade of green on every armor piece and I managed to paint my shoulder pieces! The repaint was easy. Just a matter of...

So you guys don't have to scroll up and down, here is a comparison of my references to my painted pieces. Not 100% accurate, but again, this green changes in every shot.

I let all the pieces dry for a few hours and then used my compass point and removed all the masking. This is where you see Boba start to come to life. You'll see some different things in different pictures so I'll elaborate on each one. You can see in the first picture that the paint tones down...

After looking at that one painted piece for a solid 15 minutes, I decided to paint the rest as well :lol: Everything came out super consistent and looking beautiful. After they were all setup and drying, I got my cod and kidney armor pieces to compare. I wasn't happy with the shade of the green...

After realizing my mistake, I went and added the yellow damage masking in and filled in the rest. This green looks GORGEOUS and really intense under the natural light. It does tone down some after it dries which gave me more room to play with varying values of the green shade I came up with.

I'll share with you all an error I made out of excitement of getting the green exactly how I wanted it. I did a test run on a yellow strip to see how it will look on top of the yellow. I'll let you look and guess what my mistake was... If you're asking yourself "where is the masking for the...

Then it was into getting the yellow down. Since there are only 2 pieces that have yellow damage, I just painted those to save more for my shoulder painting. This is Humbrol #154 and I did 2 layers. Slow and smooth. The patient part is next!

First things first, you have to give every piece a good silver base to start the layering process. This is Humbrol #11 and I did 2 coats. I painted the shoulder pieces since I had them, but I am planning on painting those tomorrow so stay tuned for that! After the silver, I masked off the damage...
