You went aluminum! I'll upgrade to those down the line, are they light?

Mine aren't, resin is lighter, but aluminum looks way cooler

Also... This is a great thread on all parts, very comprehensive with all the links. Awesome

They are definitely heavier, but it is not significant. Also, I think this suit will be on display more than it is out trooping, so I'm going this direction. The aluminium parts are so much crisper, and weathering them will be awesome compared to resin. Do it!

Thanks! I hope this will help in some way for those looking to start their Fett projects. I'll be updating this thread as and when I receive more stuff. The build threads will probably be separate, but I'll link them here anyway.

Yes! I wish this feeling never ends! Well, at least for the next 3 to 4 months, it's gonna be like this!

The switches you see in the gauntlet look like toggle switches but they are actually push button switches. The servo kit comes with 2( one for up and one for down) and they are the accurate alco switches like they used one he actual gauntlets.
