I got to suit up yesterday. The flightsuit still needs some stitching on the sleeves, shin tool pockets, belt-hanging pockets, and to be dyed blue and weathered. My nephew helped me with my jetpack, and then my son took some really nice pictures. This was an informative experience as I learned a...

New pics! I readjusted the scope, unscrewing the eyepiece, gluing it to the knurled ring and extending it as far as it would go. I was then able to slide the scope and rear mount back, closer to where they need to be. I also reinserted the screws from the rear mount to match the other set.

I've signed up for an annual subscription at the RPF. My handle is BTTFfan88

Thanks!! It has been a lot of fun to paint. I'm confident it will compliment the rest of my costume... if I can ever finish it. Lol I can only imagine trooping with a resin/metal rifle. I've even considered rigging up a plastic flash hider to remove the weight of the MPP tube. But you just...

I tweaked the paint today. Here are some better photos under natural light. I added the wire to the bottom of the front scope mount as well.

I finally finished my new EE-3! I'm very pleased with the result. I'll be refining the paint soon, but otherwise it's done. Recipe: - Traywick Designs 3D printed Webley flare gun - Cheap scope off eBay (probably will upgrade eventually) - scope mounts/rings/Molex connectors from Sidewinder -...

There's a fair amount. I added a decent amount of padding to both gauntlets.

I was going through some old pictures of my Indiana Jones costume, and found this ROTJ Boba Fett. I think I was doing "Indy in carbonite." This was Adventure Con in Knoxville, TN in October of 2012. Is this anyone here or does his gear look familiar? Just curious. Josh

It's certainly impractical in more than one sense. :lol: Josh

Sidewinder would be my route as well. Matter of fact, I ordered all the scope mounting hardware from Sidewinder a few days ago. I know it will compliment my 3D printed Webley exceedingly well. Of course, you could go all out and order a full metal kit from Fieldmarshal. That's the dream right...

Thanks! Great kit, right? And it's a solid latch too. Thanks! I've had my eyes on it for a few months. It didn't disappoint. Josh

Thank you! I'm quite eager to turn it into an EE-3. :D Josh

Thanks! It was a lot of trial and error. I did the wood grain lines with a Sharpie (it's what I had lol) and painted over most of it, then multiple washes of different browns. I'm just thankful we have photos from the Prop Store auction. It was excellent reference. Josh

I'm pretty happy with how the flare gun turned out. :cool: Josh

I think it's pretty widely accepted they were made of vinyl. But I'm far from an expert. Josh
