Just primed and wet sanded (with 800 grit) my helmet from Oz. So excited to paint the brass!

I just got this helmet kit from Oz. So good. Nice job on the weathering!

Thank you and hopefully I will order one soon from you. You're is the best I've seen.

Do you still sell the Rocketeer helmet? Would love one.

Stunning work as always Valor!

This looks so amazing. Valor would you sell another gauntlet?

I don't have more pics but a bunch of angles in the video. I used plans I bought from Ebay a long time ago. They were very movie accurate. I dyed all the leather - cowhide and pigskin, and hand saddle stitched it.

I think you will be right :)

I guess I was thinking I was thinking the conversation would be more about the replica MIM kit and replica harness. Guess I was wrong :)

No problem Valor. The jacket was the Rocketeer jacket made by AbbyShot in Newfoundland, Canada 10 years ago. Extremely high quality. I am adding the leather eulots (shoulder straps) and snaps this week. Boots are leather cavalry boots. But not as authentic as I'd like so looking to upgrade...

Thanks Alley! My pack is meant to emulate the 'hero' pack from the movie as much as possible. That jodhpurs explanation is great as well. I've actually got to buy a better pair someday soon.

This was an enjoyable experience; over a year of work but more than twenty-seven years of dreaming. On a birthday party trip to see Disney’s The Rocketeer in 1991, I was captivated by not only the movie, but the design of the props, vehicles, and sets. I've been enjoying wearing the full costume...

Thanks so much!

I actually made a video of the diorama a while ago without the duck. It shows all of it. https://youtu.be/WsRTFHwydXw

Thanks so much. The diorama was time consuming but rewarding. I love Anton Fursts Flugelheim.
