Ord gives me way more credit than I deserve. I merely am obsessed with the pre pros as much as the rest of the costumes. He has done so much research off of a little thing I stumbled across when building my pp1. Thank you @Ord Mantell for building this costume (dare I say) better than anyone else!

Fett from Hell aka Dean made me go crazy. I got it to work with a display I already had. Now I'm trying to get it to work with vintage ICs this is going poorly. Alot of magic smoke has escaped. I'm killing vintage 7 segments left and right.

Did my first paint up on these new tools. A very far departure from the ones i did in 2019. I really love the look of them. Though, tomorrow I'll try respraying that grey I definitely didn't "mist" the parts. More of a solid coat. Thank God for acrylics and hot water lol.

Some brown washes to fo that weird streakyness that's on the original pack. Definitely not an easy thing to replicate. Forgive my awful photo shop. I used my phone to take out the background Next up shin tools!

Haha yeah I usually just use alcohol. I was out. Definitely won't make that mistake again

Thanks, I'm definitely taking my time and looking at every available reference. In areas that just aren't seen I've added a little here and there to match the rest of the pack. I've redone the back 3 times just to get the propper spacing of the green tape lines. It's really hard to mimic the...

Okay one more now that the light and sweep arm base are on.

Final update for this weekend. Alot of progress but still a ton more to do. I got the majority of the silver and Grey down. Here are some photos showing the undershot white like the original had. Also these metal parts are fantastic @Questdesign !!!

Added my reds blacks and rust. I also resprayed the back. I think my masking was far too wide and my over spray was too opaque. Thanks to Steven for letting me know about the white on the thrusters. Its definitely coming together. Starting my weathering after my yellow is done

Okay. Laid down my green. The photos do not do justice to it. I would consider it a dead match. I also painted the red on my metal bits. Next up is weathering. The green is a mix of: Folkart olive green Folkart Italian Sage Deltaceramcoat blue Jay Deltaceramcoat navy blue Vallejo black surface...

I just decided to use it because it came with the cans for the jetpack. Lo and behold there are photos of production using it. It's the easiest airbrush to clean ever. It sprays incredibly well too!

Sorry for the hietus. I travel a load for work and I've been working on other fett related projects that are soon to come. See if you can spot one in the background. Anyways I finally got a usable jetpack after much pain and suffering *cough cough* I mean sanding. I just applied a layer of...

It's electric boogie woogie woogie

I've been having some bad spray paint JuJu or something. Warm paint shot in a 70 degree booth at 30% humidity. This should be a good finish. Guess I'm just not lucky.

Fun fact: don't get sanding dust off with soap and water or else it will get under the paint and now you have to scrape it clean

I've collected many real parts due to my affliction with the "buy it now" button on ebay. I also have bought a load of @Questdesign metal parts. To start I'm Redoing my MOW jetpack for the 3rd (?) time. I forgot how much filling this thing needed. I know it's smaller based off of my vintage...

Back when I was 17 I made an ESB fett that I have slowly been reworking over the years but now I'm going full @Ord Mantell and going balls to the wall make it right . Attached are the before photos.

I thought it looked like the rr40 dark green but I'm definitely not too familiar with floquil

I'm seeing alot of talk of "floquil" paints. I thought the consensus was "Poly Paints" or am I behind the times?
