Jodo Kast My Jodo Kast

[Fettistics]

I'm just glad Jodo was killed by the king.....:looks around: uhhmm well this is awkward

 

[Fettistics]

But in honesty the detailing you did is an amazing job

 

[Scar]

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?

 

[redkraytdragon]

Those gaunts came out great bro!

 

[Scar]

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.

Filed down stock of EE-3, removed trigger guard + started on hand grip

Relocated Scope to 10:30 position + rebuilt barrel end.

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.

 

[psychonaut]

Really impressive. Most of my Jodo is shipping now so i'll be using this thread as reference in the near future.

 

[Scar]

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.

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

 

[sleepalot]

Your armor scarring looks awesome! May I ask how you did that? Pastels?

 

[Scar]

Thanks Sleepy, yes mate Pastels. Much easier to work with imo.

 

[Scar]

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

 

[SNOWAURE]

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........

 

[JWSims34]

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.

 

[Scar]

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.

 

[Scar]

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.

Also started the Mando image on the Shoulder plate (minus outline).

 

[Scar]

More work on Belt Greeb's

(Air Compressor etc I think).

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).

 

[Scar]

First coat on the Frag Grenades (They appear to be a pale blue - again, the shading leaves a lot to personal interpretation).

Belt Greeb 'thingy' colour test

 

[TatooineTed]

very nice

 

[Scar]

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?

One for fun
