Re: Fierfek's Pep Fett, custom armor, and blaster (Armor completely weathered 10/29)

Whew, so I've been painting ALL DAY. I tried masking off the cheeks but that failed pretty horribly, so I made the decision to break out the ol' paint brushes and hand paint the cheeks , and visor details with spraypaint, which is no easy task. I painted all day, and I'm finally satisfied (liiiiiittle bit more touching up to do).
It went from this this morning:

to this this evening:

Remember I still have to remove mustard, fire and ash weather, as well as paint the white stripe on the dome.

I went ahead and finished up the helmet... The visor was a paiiiin to install right...

And here's the whole set so far.

how you making your ears/rangefinder and have you got a visor sorted yet?

edit: nvm about the visor, you posted an update in between me reading and posting

edit 2: what is the visor made from, custom made, improvised build or bought online?

No ears yet, I've got to sort those out somehow, the visor is a green tinted faceshield from RJ safety.

Alright so long time no update eh? School had been crazy for a long time and I sort of ran out of money, but now I'm starting up some more work!
I had never sewn before, but had to get a vest sewn in a canvas like material so I went ahead and tried it...

not too happy with the angle of the shoulders but I think with armor on them they'll work better.

Speaking of shoulders, Here's my WIP ones, they need a bit of work

Just south of the shoulders are the knees, sorta, so here one is, heavy WIP.

Knees made from 4 inch PVC couplers cut in half and heated with a blow torch and shaped.
Here's one I haven't finished yet because my dremel cutting wheel broke... sad day, but you get the idea of how they're made.

SO on the vest I still have to dye it a darker color, attach velcro for the back closure, and for armor attachment.

That's amazing! It looks great so far. Did you have any issues with the pep method? Mine didn't quite take the right shape so I improvised. It is sorta my own design influenced dy Star Killer's Dark Lord Armour

This is a great build! I don't see anything wrong with the shoulders in the vest and for being your first time it's fantastic... Keep up the great work.

Amazing work! How did you weather / age the flightsuit? In the original shot of the suit I thought to myself "oh that looks way too new, it'll never work." and then in the next shot BAM, it looked perfect. Any methods you prefer to use when weathering / aging soft marerials?

 

[DarthWad3r]

So your helmet, did you Fiberglass Resin the outside as well or just the inside?

Hi, not to be pesky or anything, but where did you get this file? I can't seem to find a download for it anywhere.
