Jodo Kast My Jodo Kast

Thanks guys & totally with you on the Red, it would bring a nice bit of colour to the show.
I'll add more drops to bring it really out.

What is the general feeling on the fuel/air lines ?

I'm working on the assumption that one of them had something visible in it & would it have been air or armoured power coupling for the others?
 
Thanks RkD.

Due to RL, Trooping, work, family.... you know the drill - it's been awhile & nothing too exciting i'm afraid....


Buttons on back of Lid + some further Battle Damage.

Cast first Belt Greeblie. The Hose connects onto the belt then joins the Gauntlet @ Flamer (Compresser unit for Flamer)???

Again, I've used a bit of artistic license...
 
I like your borden connecter, nice touch:)
It's the small details that count.
Nice job so far, will be good to see your final. I have an old DP helmet that I have been thinking about "kast-ing" for a while now.
 
Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.

Attached the hoses today to the gauntlet's + got some base colour on the EE-3.

Small update but one that I found amusing....

While working on my Frag Grenades (before I cast them from resin) I realised that I needed to alter the tops, this guys head was the perfect diamater.

Belt Greeblie is also taking shape (upside down on preview for some reason) -

I will get my *** into gear & get this finished, promise ;)
 
Hi man, nice Jodo you are making,
where you find that clear 1/4 hoses?? I need 3 parts of 10 Inches each, to paint in blue to my jango gauntlets...............thanks........
 
I am also workin on a Kast and am actually working on the belt accessories you have pictured above...did you cast thoses peices? I am trying to use jodokast.com as a model but having trouble finding some of the parts as Radio Shack doesnt carry or has changed the parts.
 
Thanks Snowie

I got them from Ebay - i'll pm you the link. Have you considered filling them with Electric Blue food colouring? Works a treat & looks nicer than paint (imo).

JW - see my reply on your own wip fella - I used/made as many of my own parts as I could find lying about as i'm doing this build on a tight budget.
Also, I'm in England so a lot of part's mentioned we simply don't get over here.
 
This evening the first Grenade was cast.
This is a modified kid's Grenade that needed both ends switching out to get away from the GI look & (hopefully) make it appear suitably 'Sci-fi'.
Using the Scout Snout Greeb & the Medical Droid head seemed to work well enough.
Be easier to tell for sure once it's got some colour.

We do not have a 'Radio Shack' here in England so I've made most of this from bit's & bob's lying about (a CD Case, Phone jack, Scout snout greeb, Battery, terminal connector's & a Vitamin bottle).
 
First coat on the Frag Grenades (They appear to be a pale blue - again, the shading leaves a lot to personal interpretation).

Thanks Ted.


Started cleaning up the rocket + have decided to put a dowel in the middle for the fins to float as per the comic.
(This should also strengthen them as they're pretty flimsy).

Grenades done bar the pull pin & then to secure them to the Ammo Belt.

Girth belt dyed badly so I'll strip it back & try again. I'll be covering the Leather belt in a Grey material wrap & spray the pouches grey.

Back & Kidney plate (RkD) arrived, so cleaned them up & Primed them.
Quick question, should they meet as the kidney piece seems tiny & out of proportion to the cod, did you reshape yours to fit?
Do people connect them on a velcro belt type closure?
