BudaFett's ESB Fett WIP

So a big update on my Jetpack! Few layers of different silver type paints, quick sprays of different color sprays to get a dirty appearance and crayons for a grease appearance pretty much finish her up. I'm going to be ordering aluminum beacon and adjuster and currently have a dental file ready to be painted blue to be installed. I hope to finish adding the thrusters tomorrow and give her a good dull clear coat this weekend.

Thanks guys!

For those who asked about the back closure set up, I used magnets. Here's a picture to get you a better idea.

Also, today my Mannequin came! I'm going to have to beef him up with some duct tape and probably fill him with expanding foam to give him weight.


They're very confused:

Thanks to Haribon72's guide to dying a MOW suit I got around to it last night! What do you think?

I've finished my shin tools. The stir stick needs to be repainted, it was the closest color I had in my basement! (Thanks for pointing it out Lou!)

The biggest update is that my order from Strap works came in! My harness is mostly finished!

While not the biggest update, my plans on finishing to purchase all the last pieces of my build have put on hold for about a month! My dog is getting some teeth removed which just drained my Fett bucket...

In the mean time I received my Dakota metal pieces and put on the finishing touches of my jetpack! Whatca guys think? Still needs a LED in the beacon and once I get my armor from Ponte I'll be able to attach the brackets I got from Full Metal Fett last month!

Looks good man! How did you attach the strapping to the harness? How does the JP attach to the harness?

The webbing was first sewed by hand but I didn't trust my abilities so my local tailor did it professionally. The straps that'll attach the Jetpack via fullmetalfett's hooks and rings. I'll have those attached once I have my armor so I know the correct length.
 
Any chance you could take a couple pics of where the strapping is going through the 2 inch squares and how you made it adjustable?
