Alright boys and girls...Its been a while as i've been working on my TFA FO kit. Well, needless to say...i'm happy to be back! Funny story, and another reason why the SW community of nerds are so great. Through the duration of my FO build I had been messaging back and forth (as we all do during a WIP) w/ a generous member over on the FISD forum of course sharing notes, tips etc... During the course of a conversation we were having about a week ago he explains to me that he wanted to put together a Fett (I know right ; ) and that he had collected/ acquired some pieces and was basically beginning his journey. About a day later I get another message...this time, super excited he says..." hey are you the "dynamic1" that painted armor for "nemesis"?! He further explained that nemesis had decided to keep his FETT as a bust and offered him the lower portion for purchase....HA.....AND SO begins my ESB paint-up for my good buddy from CHI-town, 501st member and newbie on this amazing forum we call TDH.....welcome Steamboatphan!

NOW, lets get moving! Over the past few days I've been able to squeeze in some trimming/ prep work that we all know and love:wacko. This kit is from RS props and a super nice kit at that. The weight is equivelant to the FP V.3 as well as RKD's V.2's Ive worked on. Here is a shot in order to get us going....Over the weekend I will go ahead and lay down the primer as well as the base silver. Stay tuned....

Alright, after a slammed week I was able to make some headway. Got the slots trimmed out, the initial stencil down, followed by masking and the SP Lark! Will stencil that out tomorrow and move onto the green.....

Was able to make lots of headway...just one more top coat of the US Med for the chest, diamond, ab and collar along with the chest decal and weathering ofcourse. The shoulder bells will get the assumed yellows, oranges and misting along with the decal as well....should have this done and shipped out this week...final pics to follow.
