thanks for all of the compliments! they've warmed my black little heart.
Recent developments on this project include:
An imperial scout blaster w/holster. This will be my Mando's sidearm. The blaster, if made off of the Kenner, is quite easy to modify. however, making the holster gave me a new-found respect for the scout troopers as it is VERY difficult to construct and have it look right. I had to glue about three pieces of sintra at once, then bondo; like using concrete on a house of cards. here's a reference photo of what I'm talking about:
I'll post pics of how all that went in a day or so.
The more recent issue is that of the back-plate and collar. This is definately the hardest part so far. I've shaped and re-shaped my back-plate about 8 times and I've concluded that either the pattern was off or that it was just too big. I'll try trimming it and shaping it some more before I give in and cut out a new one; I'd hate to waste all that sintra. ANY pointers on this part are GREATLY appriciated.
Thanks again, everyone. I'll post new pics sometime tomorrow.
Cheers!
