General ROTJ Fett Build(2018)

[James Hunt]

Hey guys I'm starting my ROTJ Fett and I figured I'd post most everything up here so I can track my progress, and gain feedback from you guys! Constructive criticism is welcomed, thanks and....

here we go

I have some images of the trimmed and sanded armor, the armor primed, and the first two coats of silver. I've also included a photo of me dyeing the flight suit and the finished product!

Good luck on the build! I'm in the middle of a ROTJ too.

Why did you remove all of the return edge on the chest plates?

Honestly I looked at tons of pictures and thought that was the way it was supposed to be, I'm still learning how to navigate on this sight, and so sometimes I may not be getting the best results in my search bar.

Thanks man! I'm gonna be following your build pretty closely considering your a few steps ahead of me!

Awesome! We can help each out through it. I'm going the paint route first and then the weathering of the soft parts. Still have the jet pack and helmet to paint, but may actually weather the soft parts after the jet pack is done.

Yeah unfortunately you can’t get approved without the return edges

Never hurts to ask before ya cut though!

I gotcha, I am jumping around trying to conquer as much as I can.(I'll probably end up weathering(the flight suit) and painting(armor) and assembling(gauntlets) today alone ) I already have the jetpack painted, and I'll try to have some pictures posted soon!

Well dang Yeah, I'm not sure if i'll be seeking approval. I can always get another set of stomach and chest armor and paint those up real quick if I decide to go that route, but I will be asking and double checking more so than I already am going forward! I'll make sure to quote you in any questions so I can gain your insight going forward(I always want an extra pair of eyes)

Here are the photos of the finished Jetpack! Time consuming but I love the final result.

Did my first round of weathering on the soft parts, thoughts? I plan on doing another round because I know it needs more, just wondering what you guys see(Darker, all over, more dirt stains all over, any and all feedback is welcome?)

Good looking Jetpack. What paints did you use?

I followed a lot of my stuff from this guy who did it with spray paints! Building Boba: Jetpack Painting Begins
