    ESB Blaster Issue

    I think the hyper-firm blasters used C-glue.

    Sideshow Boba Fett Mythos

    sculpt looks great... but I'm not digging the big-gun, the M60 on his back or that skirt looking thing...

    I saw the Phantom Menace

    Problem is Lucas is blackmailing us and has gone on record as saying if the 3D re-release prequels are not successful ($$$), than they will not do the OT.

    ESB Fett paint Question

    The answer is as simple or as complex as you make it or how accurate you want your helmet to be. If you want it to be "close enough", than yes, by all means you can paint an ESB helmet without an airbrush and get decent results. *BUT* If you lack the "artistic" skill/dedication/experience...

    Actually I think the gray ("Reefer Gray") is spot-on, I think it's the green on the dome/cheeks that is a little dark that makes the gray seem light. I'd definitely like to hear more people's opinion on it though :)

    If I had to guess, I say roughly... 50-60 hours? Probably more if I really tracked the time from start to finish.

    I 100% agree... I use POG for the dome and cheeks. I think the color is good, but the overall tone is just a little dark.

    I'll dig through my notes and post what color I used. But no, I didn't use the same color as the dome on the left year. I'm 95% sure they are different.

    Range-finder.... this isn't the one that came with the helmet, but is more of a hybrid, put together from several different kits Visor, trimmed and mounted... Range-finder installed and weathered And... DONE... Not shown, but the helmet was given a liberal black-wash and touched up in a...

    Working my way around the helmet, filling in the "damage" on the red band And that finishes up the chipped detail/damage on the red areas. At this point I was going cross-eyed Now onto the dome... grey and silver working the details around the kill-stripes. A little heavy-handed in some...

    I recently finished painting this helmet for a fellow 501st member (I’ll let him speak up if he wants). It’s one of the FettPride “proto” castings. All in all it’s a great helmet with very little clean up. I’m always impressed with FP’s fiberglass work. The paint colors are loosely based on...
