krewkid82's ESB W.I.P./501st shenanigans(BH-42090)

Weathering looks good! A little light but might be the lighting.

Ya I think it's a little light I might do another pass. I think I'll change the lighting first, then try some more weathering.

Small update: I got a big sheet of dark red acrylic for my chest lights cover. I might cut the whole sheet up into individual pieces and sell them in the cargo hold if anyone is interested lol

 

[AlphaCloneFett]

i'll take a rectangle piece! lol......the build is looking mighty nice!

 

[Krewkid82]

Lol that was the shape I had in mind! No problem mandomigs, you got it! Let me get them all cut out and ill make a post. Thank you for following my build

 

[Krewkid82]

Surprise update: AFFO$ just sent an update on my gauntlets. Looks like he has attached the upper and lowers together. Almost ready for paint!

 

[Boochman]

You may have to take a heat gun to the red acrylic so it forms to the chest armor better! Just an FYI!

Lol ya I've looked at that. I definitely want to try to get it installed. Im gonna see what I can do with it tomorrow.

Here's a side by side pic of my progress. You can definitely tell the difference in color when there side by side. Lol I love that I have something wrong in both photos haha Ill get it right one of these days! The cape was wrong on the first, and shin tools was wrong on the second

 

[Boochman]

HUGE difference, but keep going, in my opinion!

I noticed the cape in the first picture, but totally understand how you'd get messed up. Probably all gitty just to get it on!

 

[Krewkid82]

I want to try and take some pics in some different light...Boochman I've been super excited to try everything on hahaha now I can't wait to get the gauntlets finished! A few more weeks and I should have my blasters shipped and painted as well! I'm so close to being a Fett!!

 

[Boochman]

Talk about “not noticing something wrong” - I just realized you didn’t have gauntlets on, hahahahaha!

 

[Krewkid82]

Hahaha got ya!! Lol ya im waiting for then to come in. They should be finished in a few weeks. Then I'll get a full suit up going.

 

[Krewkid82]

I got an update from AFFO$: He has got the gauntlets primered hopefully will be putting the green layer on tonight..super stoked!!

 

[Krewkid82]

Update time!: AFFO$ has sent this little update saying that the green is drying on the gauntlets

 

[Krewkid82]

My bucket fans came in today! Got those installed. Bit of a tight fit but it works out just fine!

 

[Jetpackfett]

Love that helmet interior! Looks killer! How do the fans do?

Dude in this Texas heat they work amazing!! They really help you breath. I havent tested them with my mic yet to see if it picks them up hopefully not lol. The interior makes it tight on my head but not too tight.

that’s awesome! I know I’m gonna have to have some fans and those aren’t looking bad for the price.

 

[Historian Fett]

I have been researching a Fett build for months and am just now sorting out early details on mine, so your journey has been super helpful and encouraging to me. Looks amazing in such a short amount of time!

 

[Krewkid82]

Thank you historian fett! I can't take all the credit I just had the cash to blow on this dream of mine. I did a few odds and ends myself but nothing compared to the people it took to make this dream a reality. The real people behind this awesome suit should be the ones taking all the credit! MMcfett, AFFO$, Delta 13, Mike M, Arkady, R4ZORBL4DES, Emperor Fett, White Shadow, JC27, Pucksdown, Full Metal Fett, Machine Craft Replicas, Bobasdent 1138, Animefan, RKD, Woodman, Hot Pockets, Diny Djarin, and my local tailor. These are the people who either crafted the items themselfs and sold them second hand, aquired the items second hand and sold them to me, or straight up did the work themselves just for me. I want to thank everyone (as well as anyone who viewed my thread) this has been a long but short journey and it's still not over yet
