Ord Mantell
Hunter
I started this ESB build in 2009, but for reasons out of my control, like never getting my original armor order after a decade of waiting, among others, the project got put on hold. Many of the parts below were purchased a decade ago, so some vendors are no longer around. During the crazy downtime of the pandemic, I'm committed to completing ASAP while trying to make it a high quaility reconstruction of the original.
Okay, starting with the old Pulce 40 which was in storage for a decade. Going to do the holster while I'm at it.
Floquil 110601 is hard to come by anymore. Anybody know a good match for that old paint? Or better yet, anybody have any leftovers they don't need?
