Thx! I was originally going to use an airbrush but quickly realized it would take forever and so I reverted to rattle cans which meant a bunch of testing and practice to achieve the right look ...I could have still used an airbrush for the final highlights layer but that would have involved...

For sure. One of the things I did before going too far with this was to ensure I could fit where I wanted to ...I had to rearrange my cosplay room to clear out one side of the room. Things on the wall were high enough not to need to be moved but I had my Callahan Fullbore Autolock and x-40...

Got more painting done ... Both legs and feet are complete as is the main body and scapula ... used a matte clear to knock down some of the shine from the paints to give a more muted and modeled look The skull and neck have the base coat of Krylon satin expresso but I'm having to do each...

Finished work on the cowboy hat ... added a screen accurate band and appropriate weathering ...

Finished the pants belt buckle ... got a plain silver round western buckle then cut out some leather pieces and painted them yellow gold , just waiting on some 1.5" leather strap to finish the belt. Also managed to find an exact match for his gloves and I found my original AF ID tags so I...

While I continue to try and research his boots and pistol I've started on his katana and sheath ... Making the pattern for the sheath which I'll then cut out of leather and assemble with Chicago screws, D rings and belt buckle ... Since this movie is not exactly like a Star Wars universe I...

Repaired femur with new connector installed ... like it never happened Also got the base painted

Not 12 gauge, definetlydontbfitnin the pistol. It took a little doing but I managed to source some brass 20 gauge shells ...

1/4 scale sounds about right ... had a minor hiccup yesterday ... was rechecking the legs and realized I had installed the left mid thigh bone for the left leg at the wrong angle to be able to mount the foot to the base correctly. Luckily I was able to cut through the pins holding each bone...

Here's another image show8ng the boots ... I've done some searching and companies like 5-11 tactical has ones that are close but no exact match yet ...

Also trying to get a line on this pistol, anyone since this before?
