Here is my old inaccurate Fett armor from 15 years ago that I planned to refurbish, but now I'm in the process of just replacing most of it with accurate pieces...

Then there is the new vac-formed armor from MinuteFett...

So, after hours of trimming, sanding, and prepping, I applied the first layer of primer/filler.

And here is my first attempt at 3D printing: the EE-3 carbine that I assembled, painted, and displayed until I have a finished kit.

I was able to get all the pieces covered with the metallic silver base and then the damaged areas masked with masking fluid.

Next up was getting each piece painted with the base color.

Once they were all dry, I began the tedious yet satisfying process of pulling all the masking fluid off to reveal the silver underneath.
