I'm digging the weathering on this build. Very well done!

That paint is gritty n weathered on those gauntlets, can't wait to see it on you. Dressed like a true merc

Thanks mate, I like the look to be rough, worn, used....trying realistic

I too am now shifting from my PP2 Fett to a Protector/Gunslinger style Merc kit. Nice build! Would love to see more.

There may be an update soon

Aaaaaaaaaaaaw yeah

I should focus on finishing this, here's what I'm looking at doing for a blaster rifle...or an extra one. Inspired by Jodo Kasts
Rifle. I'm thinking of replacing trigger gaurd with aluminium, wood stock in future. Have got a fett ee3 scope which may get modified. Other things being planned are aluminium Jodo gauntlet rockets....and I may try casting ( Destroying something) a few pieces in aluminium....helmet ear, jetpack exhaust and a few other bits....that's a project..and learning
Got to try getting the ball rolling again, bottom pic is what I have out at moment, rest got packed away or burnt

Absolutely love this so far. The paint job is excellent and looks very realistic

Thanks FettHam, that means a lot. Realistic painting is what I'm trying for. A realistic cool looking badass

Few pics to break the boredom, had to use phone as a remote for camera
Plates aren't aligned properly, kept falling off, they'll be getting repainted a lighter green too

 

[Mythos Fenn]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw yeah

 

[Fatbed]

Had a little bit of play time. Mucking around with right gauntlet, inspired by images of Jodo Kasts and Boba Fetts gauntlets in the comic "Twin Engines of Destruction". I'm still mocking up the final look...clay was used to suggest a different material, where the rubber band is I may turn down the shafts diameter to sit lower. May add in some copper piping

 

[Fatbed]

Repainting the dome to fix a few issues

 

[Fatbed]

Not really an update , just a tease

 

[Mythos Fenn]

Awesome stuff dude! Keep. It. Up!

 

[Fatbed]

Thanks mate, few of helmet and nearly done right lower ear

 

[NorCalCap]

[Fatbed]

Gone for a faded worn look
Weather on the right side needs fixing...too much there
