ROTJ Special Edition Promo

[Greg Schlueter]

Got my girth from Dover Saddlery. Just need to dye it and add the black straps on The buckles.

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Ok I like them now lightened up the grey and weathered the edges. I will hit a couple areas with some sand paper for scuff marks when dry. Then seal them with some Krylon Workable Fixatif #1306

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Got a vintage U.S. Divers Co. buckle and belts. From the bay of fleas.

 

[BudaFett]

Nice pick up!

 

[Greg Schlueter]

So I found these ROTJ gloves on Imperial Boots web page. They look correct for the crl. Tackle twill material on top and the military style gloves. They do mention that they will comply with the crl. So I gave them a go. XL is a perfect fit. I will get some from Mike M when he does his next run for comparison and always good to have a spare pair.

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Received my ROTJ gauntlets from WastedFett.

 

[BudaFett]

Nice, looking forward to seeing them put together.

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Trimmed all the flashing off the gauntlets. Still need fine tuning and sanding on the edges. The bottom piece for the flame thrower housing needs about a half inch more trimmed off. That’s it for now. Going to start and finish the armor next.

 

[BudaFett]

Velcro or hinges?

 

[Greg Schlueter]

I’m leaning towards Velcro.

 

[BudaFett]

I’m leaning towards Velcro.

I have velcro and it has more give and take than say hinges for obvious reasons.

Yah man I’m gonna use Velcro. Hinges are not screen accurate anyway. And I don’t like the look of the too.

 

[BudaFett]

Use heavy duty velcro especially if you have a plan to upgrade to a metal rocket.

 

[sutt_hero_rotj]

Velcro all the way !

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Oh yah for sure. I’m pretty positive that I will be upgrading to a metal rocket before they are finished. Also got the extra support piece for under the rocket that WastedFett provides.

 

[BudaFett]

Nice, good call. Can't beat the metal rocket compared to the resin.

 

[Greg Schlueter]

Got my ROTJ armor from WastedFett. Got lots of work to do now.

 

[BudaFett]

Nice, get to work!

Lookin good man, WF is nice.

You may want to reach out to him about getting a different left knee if he does them. You’ll want the corresponding dent that match’s the PP2. Also, the right breastplate doesn’t not have the dent present. Just the damage shown for it.

That is on the promotional only right. Screen is what I’m doing
