That's definitely a Gibson edition gear trunk now.
I have the same trunk, how did you attach the gear panel to the lid?

I can fit everything in mine except my helmet, but I bet with some more organizing I could fit everything.

I screwed the plywood straight to that bad boy!!!
 
Re-weathering the clothears flights suit with rail road powers. It's tough but I think it gives a decent effect!

Dang I wasn't home today but I got a noticed that my Boba maker holster was almost delivered today but I had to sign for it Hopefully I can pick it up first thing in the morning from the post office
 
Hows it going fetts!

What do yall think about the weathering on my flight suit and pouches in the natural light? Too heavy handed or not enough? Give me some feed back!

Things left to do:

I still need to dye my girthbelt a brighter red

My new ammo belt is on order from Grue at horrorshop. Can't wait to get that and paint it!

Im going over to Spicyfett's house this weekend to pick up all of my minute fett armor, helmet, and cape that he's been working on. We're going to mount everything to my clothears vest the proper way. He also has my wookie braids and chestlights. Definitely more updates coming this weekend!

I also got this in the mail just for fun! It's made by Engage Cosplay on etsy. It's literally the same thing as a micom if your familiar with those. Should be fun to troop with may need a louder speaker though.

The weathering looks great, I think you are good. Are you able to get a few photo's outside? I found that this helped the most with checking my weathering as it tends to look different than indoors, even if you are next to a window with light coming in. I just found that it helps give me an idea of what it will look like at a con or other brightly lit environments.

Also great pickup with the Engage cosplay glove. I am using something similar (CosVox), definitely makes a huge difference when interacting with people. It took me a while to learn how to use my hand without accidentally bumping the voice line buttons though haha.

Looking forward to seeing the next update with the armor!

Thanks DrToothache!! The weathering in person looks darker than the pictures and you can really see all the colors that were used. Ya I'm definitely going to take some pictures at spicyfetts house of some of the process and that next day hopefully I can take some nice outside pictures of everything before my troop. This is my 2nd sound glove. The first one I crudely made. It worked awesome it just didn't look this refined but it worked really similar. They are really fun with interactions though!
 
Heres a quick little test fit...I got all my armor from Spicy Fett!! Everything was painted with vintage floquils and archive x paints. I get some close ups of it all tomorrow! He let me borrow his extra flak vest and cape to do my Bday troops this weekend. 35 is coming fast!!! I still need to finish the knees, add plastic screws to the shoulders, add a few found parts to the gauntlets, swap out the velcro on the gauntlets, add alittle padding to the gauntlets, finish and mount the hardhat basket inside the helmet. Those fixes will get me back trooping again this weekend. Final fixes will be grommeting my clothears vest, touching up my jetpack, painting my horrorshop belt when it arrives, and dying my girthbelt! Fett 2.0 is getting closer!!!

Does that mean once again going through the GML process once again with Fett 2.0? Not that you'll have any issue passing them I'm sure. (Going for Level 2?)

-Iron
Im going to speak with my SL of my squad and take some approval photos just in case. So far I have the green light to troop this weekend so it's gonna be awesome! Once I get everything finnished, ordered, and painted I will submit for level 2 infamous throught he bounty hunters guild. It's worth a shot and all they can say is no and to fix things lol
 
Getting some work done!! Almost there just waiting for the knees to cure! Spicy Fett did a amazing job on this bucket!! Whole thing is painted in vintage floquils. Its a mixture of layered and topical application. He hooked me up with the interior of my helmet as well. Fiberglass woven inside painted the correct color, miliput on all the lens tabs and borden, smoked gray visor installed. Metal ears, hollow metal stalk. I did the foam/ductape method for now while I have a friend sow my hardhat harness. I think it sits a lot better on my head now. Just need my chin strap kit to get here!

Found parts*
Real Borden connector
Polaroid SX-70 lens
Ord's Battery pack
1SX1-T micro switch
Fairchild l.e.d's
MQ-1 Casio circuit board
Helmet electronics board with original parts by Spicy Fett

I'm no ESB expert but that looks wicked good to me. Your old stuff was great but this is just next level.
Amazing paintjob aside, the new armor size and spacing looks just like ESB boba to me.
Really cool that the bucket was done with floquil too!
