Looks good but dude do some house keeping why are most nerds soooo messy
Ha! that is the one room in the house besides my garage my wife let's me keep the way I want it. The maids come tomorrow, and as usual I will tell them not to go in my office.
Snapped some pics this evening with chest beefed up a little, and back armor and jetpack attached!
I will be doing work on the hands and gloves next. The gloves are a horrible color that I need to fix. Getting the hands to grip the EE3 will be a challenge. And I need to weather the knee straps.

Update for tonight - I am very happy that today I finished my base that allows Fett to stand up without tipping over, and hands that actually hold the blaster in place! Over the past month I have made little progress, but did knock out some little details that were bothering me. I think as soon as I get my hands on some better gloves, and hook up the rangefinder and beacon electronics I will probably call this project "done"
Ha! The gloves are horrible. They do look a bit pink in the pics, but in person it is more of a beige. It was a botched fade job, and rather than try to fix it I am going to get a nice pair of St. Nasty's whenever they become available. Nothing says B.A. bounty hunter like a pair of pink gloves!

You can try to salvage them by using a light mix of grey rit dye and giving them a quick dip and quickly rinsing them or airbrushing them grey in the meantime
I modified the right hand (to hold the rifle), and right shoulder so the arm was angled away from the body in order to fit the stock of the rifle in there. I ended up using an old curtain bracket that I cut and filed to fit in the opening of the mannequin's shoulder, and screwed it into the shoulder of the arm. The elbows were already adjustable which was great.

That's awesome. I have one with adjustable elbows too. I'm gonna have to follow your lead.
