Superjedi's SE armor

[superjedi]

Hi all,
Not often, but sometimes, I manage to work on some Fett related stuff for my own collection! *Gasp*
In between commissions I've been working on a set of SE armor. I received a very nice set of vac formed pieces many months ago from Wasted Fett and it's finally in a state where I can show some pics.
I am painting this to match the Magic of Myth exhibit suit as closely as I can. I've dipped into my ever dwindling stash of Polly Scale and Floquil paints for this project.
The main green is Polly Scale US Medium Green, the yellow is Testors MM Zinc Chromate, and the silver is Floquil Bright Silver.
I used a medium Vallejo gray for the misting, and other media like artists' pencils for some of the smaller scrapes and weathering.
The chest emblem is a really nice vinyl decal from Fett4real.
I have always liked the SE costume more than the other versions, so I'm happy to have this set to work on!





I still have the cod and kidney armor, the backplate, and the shoulders and knees to complete, but it will probably be some time before I get them done.
Thanks for looking!

Damn, Eric! Your armor is just as brilliant as your helmets!


I still think you should finish an entire suit for yourself!

Uuuuuh.... I like the belly plate especially!

You did an amazing job, Eric! The paintjob alone is a work of art and can be easily mistaken with the original.

 

[superjedi]

Thanks very much you guys!

 

[superjedi]

Meant to post these shots as well. These are a little closer and show more detail.

Wow, that's an awesome job, superjedi! (Why am I not not surprised?)

 

[BudaFett]

Gonna start sending you armor now though!

You should complete the suit! DO IT!

 

[superjedi]

Oh no... I've gotten my shoulder emblem all dirty!
No part of the SE armor is spared from weathering.

 

[BudaFett]

Looks much better dirty!

 

[superjedi]

Gotta put that shoulder emblem on something, right?
Here's my left shoulder. I used a base of Archive-X acrylic SP Armour Yellow and then toned the darker areas with their Roof Brown.
The main damage areas were done with some of my vintage Polly Scale ATSF Catwhisker Yellow and Floquil Bright Silver.
The fine scratches were done with a Vallejo light gray and a lightened mix of the main yellow, along with a couple of different artist's pencils.
Thanks again to Wasted Fett for the armor and Fett4real for the decal. Also to Rafalfett for his stencils and help with reference pics!

You just need Viva to send you a Jetpack and you’ll almost be done!

 

[superjedi]

I spent this weekend working on what just might be the most important piece of armor.

 

[BudaFett]

I’m surprised that’s one of the pieces you left for last…

 

[Got2bfett]

That is quality paint work as usual…..just awesome.

 

[superjedi]

I got another set of armor parts done... knees!
I used the same colors that I used on the shoulder.
I modded the resin darts by filling in the three little grooves in the narrow sections so they resemble the set seen in the MoM exhibit pics.
Here's how they came out.

I urge you to return the knees to the LFL Archives in 24 hours to avoid the destruction of the Universe as we know it. You've been warned!

All kidding aside, you never cease to amaze us with your awesome paint jobs.

 

[BudaFett]

Come on Eric send your measurements to Arkady!

No way! They're mine now! Thanks, Levi.
