Needle files. A fine set of needle files. Much more control than a dremel. With the dremel you can get a little carried away, at least I did. I still use the dremel though to take the bulk material away (since there's so much on some parts) and then various needle files to do all the shaping and...

I haven't done this part yet, was a bit unsure how, any pointers for your method? Looks good by the way, needless to say.

The best method I'd suggest would be the plastic welding route with a soldering iron, it's pulls the two parts together making them one piece essentially, instead of putting a secondary material (epoxy/bondo) into the seam to try hold it together. I used the plastic welding method, but I will...

That looks like one hell of a display. Do you have any more close up pictures, see the weathering of the armour and helmet? Also CSMacLaren , judging by his cape I'd say he's going down into the pit.

the long hours, the strained eyes to get them fine details just right, and the steady hand necessary, they are all killers but looking at the finished piece it is well worth it. great job, i never get tired of checking out a new Fett paint up, regardless of how many i see, there is just so much...

Read all through your other thread about the aluminium helmets, very interesting and skilled techniques, and even more impressive final results, great paint jobs. And now you're doing another one, well im still watching. Hope you have enough shelf space to display these.

The rust effect, is less effect, more actual rust, i can in no way take credit for it though, got the method from Volpin, Link to page where he explains it; https://www.facebook.com/VolpinProps/photos/a.113042158715817.12891.112981562055210/692018017484892/ I used styrene to build my ear...

Hi again, Thanks for letting me know there are some people still keeping an eye on my build, I know I keep saying it, im getting a little fed up of hearing myself, but i am actually almost done with this build. Anyway, I don't really have much of an update, I've done some black washing and and...

Re: Ironman3 MK8 Helm turned IRON PATRIOT (aiming 99% movie accuracy) - NOW MOTORIZED Your work is (as always) incredibly clean and sharp. The weathering is spot on, just right amount. Even the interior is nicely done, but i wouldn't expect any less. Great work, keep it up.

Re: Star-Lord mask ( with the help of a 3D printer ) Ive heard of the term before, Dry brushing, just not looked into what it was exactly. Thanks for the explanation Crank.

Re: Star-Lord mask ( with the help of a 3D printer ) Even having 3d printed pieces made to save alot of time that was some quick building. Look forward to seeing your hero/screen accurate version. Edit, i forgot to ask my question; Regarding the weathering on your helmet, how do you do the...

started weathering some rusting to begin with. (probably a few too many pictures this post) Frothing/bubbling away. Left to dry out over night, left nice and rusty crusty. Recently started giving it a light black wash, will be added further rust on top of that though, might be...

Hi again, No, I'm still not finished yet. Here it is as it stands. If you look back you'll see how warped it had become, the brow/frown had risen a frighten amount. I left it sitting so it wasn't hanging on a stand and let it settle back into shape, looks much better, or i think it does...

Sorry, I think you miss understood me, i was just complimenting your photography skills and equipment. Not that you're enhancing your pictures or air brushing them.

Not to say "dont listen to Alberto" but you've made everything else up to this point, its always more satisfying when you make it you self so i'd try scratch build them personally. what to make them out of is a completely different question, though, i wouldn't really know where to start, but i...
