thanks WhateverItTakes

...bought some lego bricks to use it as keypad for the gauntlet. as always in this build not screen accurate, but a cheap good looking alternative in my opinion.

 

[alienbuilder]

just had to make some photos with the full suit. hopefully I ll make it to do the right gauntlet soon to finish the appearance...

 

[alienbuilder]

finished the metalwork on the right gauntlet today. here are the results:

filled and sandes the gauntlet today. maybe I can make it to paint it this week...

 

[alienbuilder]

finished painting and weathering this week. I also attached the hoses. just have to do the darts on the right gauntlet. next I will attach the gauntlets to the flightsuit with some velcro.

 

[alienbuilder]

well well,

so the suit is close to be finished now. I have made some darts for the right gauntlet and through the last few weeks I weathering all the soft parts using acrylic colors. first I dyed the flight suit a little bit darker to fit the color tone of the pre production suit more. I think it actually depends on the reference pictures you are using though. the weathering is not so noticeable in the pictures though, but if you look near you can see some decent dirt. its not so visible because the suit itself is much darker than ESB or ROTJ. the most noticeable weathering was made to the cape. there is a picture of boba fett in the encyclopedia and I wanted it to look like that. I simply bleached some areas of the cape with some chlorine.

now just the wrist rocket is missing and I think I ll have to replace the ankle spats. the actual ones looks a little bit too small. and I need a jetpack my plan is now to make a JT 12 Jetpack like jango fett was using.

her are all the weathered softparts:

and the armor plates:

and some fast snapshots of the whole suit as it looks like now:

Incredible build. Love the helmet! With the quality of your metalwork, I was almost expecting you to produce a functional jetpack. Maybe for the next version...

 

[ShortFuse]

Fantastic!

 

[alienbuilder]

Thank you.

well, before I ll go the jetpack I want to turn the wrist rocket out of an aluminum and a brass rod next week. hope this will went well....

 

[alienbuilder]

 

[alienbuilder]

have put together the wrist rocket tonight so I can install it to the gauntlet tomorrow...

If you were to commission custom helmet interiors, I'd probably be in line for one.

 

[alienbuilder]

I dont have the plan .. or time to do so at the moment, but I could do some one day. if so, I ll let you know.

I made some bigger ankle spats for the suit now, so the suit is complete now. I hope to make a jetpack next year. for now I am pretty happy with this suit, still seen as an custom mix of the different types of suits with a functional appearance. here are some pictures of the whole thing:

just had to play around with some pictures ...

 

[BudaFett]

Great pictures! How heavy is the armor once on?

 

[alienbuilder]

thank you. I dont know the exact weight of it at the moment, but it felt just as heavy like a normal combat gear. maybe 10 kg all in all?..

just build some photoshop image for my jetpack plans and this is what I am planning:

as I said I want to do a arena style jetpack first...
