Now that you have your jetpack in hand, does it look like the damage stencils will work ok?

Yeah I figured if this custome is going to take all my money, I might as well go broke in style, lol!!!
Here's a couple of pics of some progress. Still gotta do the piano keys on the jetpack, and start filling the seams and imperfections.

The jetpack is coming along. The stencils from shortfuse worked really well. The metal keys from machine craft worked out great as well. Hopefully I'll get the red painted on tonight.

Looks great.

Got the rocket finished. My nozzle in my airbrush broke so I had to this with rattle can only. It was definitely a challenge but it came out pretty good. Weathered up the flightsuit a little as well.

Here's a few pics from today. This is my first time suiting up. Had such a good time even though it started snowing this evening!

I know it's been forever but I finally got some work finished on my costume. Here's my nearly complete wookie braids and shin tools!

Shin tools are too grey, lighten them up

You think PS Letting Gray would be closer? Yeah the braids are sweet my g/f is good at that! We'll be offering some for sale soon.

Yes, or lark light grey, misted and sand the edges to reveal the white.
Lots of folks will want those accurate braids, they are in demand! Good for your gf!

Yeah, them braids come out great! Definitely something to be proud of. Them Ginfer Knots (Otherwise known as Pineapple Knots) are a supreme pain ain't they? I'd suggest using some Vallejo Pigments, like so....
Get em' a little dirty.

Oh nice, yes I will look for that to weather them. Those knots are a pain, but I've got a bunch pre-made now
chondro788
Yeah for me I just rubbed the pigment into the Ginfer Knots and left em' at that. and a few years later - it hasn't rubbed off after several troops with em'. Nice pre-made is good! And also nice that you'll be offering them up. They should sell quick once posted in the Cargo Hold.
