BudaFett's ESB Fett WIP

[Flamechicken]

It almost looks like the sheen that comes off some types of laminate floors and countertops.

Agreed, I wonder if it's a glossy top coast or some sort of sealant they used.

You could probably achieve that look by sealing the wood and painting it gray/black, then pouring a thin layer of bar-top epoxy onto it.

Just got Mike M's gloves in the mail! Look great on my mannequin's hands!

 

[BudaFett]

More work done on my base this weekend!

 

[Refugee]

It's coming along nicely!

Sidewinder's finised ESB E-33 blaster!

 

[BudaFett]

I'm working on the mannequin now. I got the hands to correctly hold the blaster but I need to fix the left arm to properly hold the blaster and give Boba Fett a good pose:

 

[CastleFett]

Break that arm! Make it do its joooooob! Lol

 

[Darth Voorhees]

This is all coming out great man! Glad i could help out in the couple of little ways i did!

 

[Chris4321]

Wow, amazing work man. I love the ESB setup!

I am hoping to start making some purchases for my own boba fett costume!

 

[BudaFett]

Thanks Chris4321!

Lou, you've been more than helpful!


I hope to have the base finished soon but with the baby here that might be harder than I originally thought!

Did you ever figure out what you were going to use for this?

Not yet, I believe you suggested bar epoxy? I'm probably going to go that route!

I just had a new born baby so a lot of the pieces I can work on have taken a seat on the back burner!

Congrats! I know exactly how you feel.

So had some (rare) free time today! I wanted to finish this stuff up as my Clothear's flight suit and vest are being finished and will be in hand shortly!

I was able to epoxy and use a fiberglass repair kit to position the arm correctly. I also mounted the mannequin's stand hardware on my base which I hope to get primed and finished this week!

 

[Artakha]

Looking good! Don't forget to weather everything though, but in the meantime great job!

 

[BudaFett]

Thanks!

Oh yeah once my Clothears flight suit and vest are here, Ponte will be taking care of the weathering.

 

[emme3]

this mannequin is so good! why you want to sell the flightsuit? it's fine

 

[BudaFett]

Oh nothing wrong with the current flight suits, which is now sold, but a Clothears softgood set up is far more accurate!
