General New Boba starting around ROTJ WIP

[Boba79]

Hello there,

I am new at this Forum and I am about to start my own Boba Fett ROTJ Project. I am very impressed about this site and the craftsmenship of many of you here.

I started with the following items:

Flak jacket: MoW
Boots: MoW 2013
Spikes: Mojo
ROTJ Gauntlets: MoW 2013
Armor parts: Bobamaker (expected this November)

Yesterday I finished the right gauntlet. I atteched some pics, so please tell me what you think if you like This is my first attempt in painting gauntlets.

I also had an idea how to attach the hoses to the gauntlet. I used Stereo chinch connectors. I don´t know if anyone had this idea so far. I just wanted to share it with you. I have some pics attached.

Greetings from Germany,
Boba79

Welcome! The gauntlet looks good and I like your hose attachment. Nice start.

 

[DeathProof]

Welcome!

Nice job on the paint, and I like that hose attachment as well

How are you locking(closing) the gauntlet together? Velcro?

 

[Boba79]

Thanks for the welcome.

To lock the gauntlets I used a hinge at the inside part of the gaunts and I´m going to use valcro for the other part.

Tomorrow I´m going to finish the left gauntlet. I will post more pics then.

Hello there,

today I finished the left gauntlet.


Today I also received a US Army shelter. Next thing I am going to do is the cape.

 

[Boba79]

Today I finished the cape. I cutted from the army shelter a square of 30 X 36 inch and did some weathering. Here it is:

Today I started working on the shin tools. I finished the vibro blade an the 4th tool. I used foam borard, two pens and an Aluminium tube in two different sizes plus a nut.

Here we go:

Looks sweet! I'm trying to decide the best way for me to begin a helmet. I look forward to your posts!

 

[Boba79]

Thanks.
Yesterday I started on my MOW Boots. Basic painting is done, weathering needs to come. Here is the first pic. Colors seem a little bit bright due to the camra flash. I havn´t done a helmet so far.

After a short break i am going to paint my new Bobamaker V3 armor.



First I started painting the shoulder bells. I did the painting by layering. I used an airbrush and several drybrushing technics.
Colours I used:
Humbrol Acrylic silver 11
Humbrol Acrylic yellow 154
Humbrol Acrylic yellow 154 mixed with White
Humbrol Acrylic black
Citadel Orange


These are pics while they were pre weathered.

I finished the knee armor today. Weathering needs to come. The painting technique is the same I used with the shoulder bells. The yellow seems a little bit bright due to the camera flash. In natura it´s darker.

Looks really good so far! Keep up the good work!

 

[redkraytdragon]

Well done, and what a FANTASTIC idea for the hose attachment!

 

[Boba79]

Hello,

today I finished the armor parts using Raf´s templates. I used humbrol silver 11 as base colour, green is humbrol 78 and yellow is humbrol 81. Weathering still needs to come



I also finished weathering the knee armor.


Please feel free to tell me what you think.

 

[Syper]

Wow everything is looking great Mr.

What weathering technique are you using Brother, Looks hella cool

 

[Boba79]

Thanks very much.
I use my airbrush and some drybrushing tehchniques. I am going to start with a very thin layer of humbrol green 78 mixed with humbrol green 117. After that I am going to myst humbrol black 33 also using my airbrush. Then I am going to start drybrushing the areas which are darker. The final step will be the highlighting of the edges of the armor.
