Slave1Pirate's Aluminum ROTJ Boba Fett Build PIC HEAVY

[Slave1Pirate117]

Hey yall. Wanted to show you where I'm at right now.

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

Prepped for green paint last night on the left Pectoral Plate. That took awhile.

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

What an exciting night! Masked the laser cut stencils. Sprayed a 1st mist coat of green.

Here's the reveal!

 

[DomiEE3]

Looks awesome.
Really great work

 

[ShortFuse]

Came out really nice. Need to dirty it up now.

 

[Got2bfett]

It may have taken awhile but it came out great!

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

Masking that light green was the biggest most stressful time so far. It's not perfect.....but I don't care at this point hahaha.

Laying down the green tonight.

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

Hello! Been a busy couple days! Here is a video I made showing how I did the masking and a final reveal on the abdomen panel.

What do yall think!?

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

Here is the collar plate.
 Silver

All Colors

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

And the codpiece!

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

Well there's been alot of updates lately. Everything but the collar plate has been weathered and clear coated. I started lining the pieces with felt as well. Jasters Feather was fun. I painted it instead of the decal because it kept lifting on me.

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

I've been doing little odds and ends here and there but not a lot of crazy updates. Here are a few pics as I've moved along.

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

Made some good headway. Some got pics....some didn't.

Finished up the girth belt, ammo pouch belt is complete, little touch ups and odds and ends. Had some issues with mounting volt welds on chest pieces and may need to re do those and the paint to boot. Not pleased but it is what it is.

Finished the electronics and felting on the left Pectoral plate.

 

[BudaFett]

That's pretty!

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

That's pretty!

Thanks bud! It's a labor for sure!

 

[DrToothache]

Wow, this is looking awesome. I can't wait to see it finished!

 

[BudaFett]

Thanks bud! It's a labor for sure!

Wouldn't be fun if it wasn't!

Idk why but the green felt lining is very satisfying lol Loving your build so far!

It's sooooooo nice. Idk why but I love it too. It's just the perfect finish. I mean a light grey would be pretty awesome too. It just kinda wraps it up but really it's just for the wearer. No one else will see it! Haha

I appreciate the kind words.
