clown3y's ESB Boba Build

Very lucky indeed , Is it for display or troop?

Probably just for display at this point. Once I get it into my hands, I might rethink that though.

 

[Funkyred]

They are meant to be a little to heavy to troop with , the holster sags even with a copy

I'm curious as to how heavy it will really feel! My Bobamaker Pulce is only about 100 grams lighter than a Pulce with all the doodads still attached

Thank you Iron!

Well it can’t be any worse than carrying a 17 pound M249 SAW on a 12 mile ruck sack road march in the US Army.

...and yeah, that day sucked!

Let's see some pictures as your stuff starts coming in!

 

[clown3y]

My genuine Pulce 40 arrived today! Judging by the wear and tear that this thing has, it has been used a lot, which gives it all the more character.

I‘m over the moon with it.

 

[BudaFett]

It's almost sad to have to cut it up!

 

[clown3y]

It's almost sad to have to cut it up!

Absolutely. Doing that is wayyyy down on my to-do-list

And while I believe and trust Art with his announcement on how the Pulce way actually modified, I'm having a hard time of doing this conversion without any actual proof.

 

[clown3y]

I haven't forgotten about this! Did the shoulders and knees today.

 

[BudaFett]

They look fantastic!

the orange shoulder armor also had bits of yellow like the knees

 

[clown3y]

They look fantastic!

Thank you very much.

the orange shoulder armor also had bits of yellow like the knees

I didn't know that! Do you have images that show this by chance? Looking through the gallery I couldn't spot that yellow

 

[clown3y]

And the armor is almost done! Back and back belt are done as well, just didn't fit the frame

 

[clown3y]

Here we go! Only missing the "splattering" on the right chest plate now.

 

[BudaFett]

Phenomenal work!

 

[Irongladiator]

Phenomenal work!

Agreed! This work is nothing short of amazing! Keep it up!
