Slave2112's ESB Build

Thanks for jumping in. I completely respect your amazing attention to detail.

Unfortunately the person that’s doing the review appears to be strict on the CRL, which I still contend is mistaken. I briefly tried to explain that, and included original promo pics of Fett from the halls of Bespin. Once I lightened up the promo pics so the white wall appeared white, the buckles look like plain metal.

A 501st contact suggested I put just enough on to make it appear that way from 6’ away. I don’t plan to make them look like brass.

In the vintage photo you posted of the jetpack above you can also see that the metal inserts (with the red paint) in the middle of the thrusters appear yellowed/brass as well which we know they are not, further providing proof that the buckles are not yellowed/brass and it is just a result of the photo itself as Ord Mantell mentioned. They need to update the CRL.

Yeah, the approver for your Garrison is...interesting. I had a back-and-forth with him about getting some things approved for my friend's Fett a few months back. I wasn't pleased.

You're in for one.

Eh... after you re-dye the girth belt just get a little tube of rub n buff and give the buckles a little gold tint if it will appease... BUT ....Just be careful, definitely don't let the buckles accidently fall onto a rag soaked with 90% Isopropyl alcohol later on because that would take the rub n buff right back off. Can't have that happening

Not a bad fix list for the other things, you should be able to get that sorted out.
