This one's for anyone working on the jacket attachments for Finn/Poe's jacket... 
I had the greeblies modeled by Michael Flanagan (the Irish Cowboy). Each set is 3D printed from sintered nylon. They are scaled to fit the replica jacket sold by Indy Magnoli.
Here's how they look before any additions. Almost TOO clean, honestly~!
Screen greeblies from Celebration for comparison:
It's clear there's a second, smaller buckle tucked behind the main one on each wrist, but I have yet to find any good pics of what it may look like. Rather than guess and produce something wholefully inaccurate, I will simply wait for better reference material for now.
PAINTING
My first finished pair were a rush job for Dragoncon (I painted them the same night I left). And it shows... Very unimaginative "weathering" (if you could call it that) that mostly consisted of a dark brown wash (which didn't stick to them at all).
Back to the drawing board... the latest set of greebles, just completed:
I used a variety of different spraypaints, dark washes, and two different tones of fuller's earth to get them looking a lot more naturally aged. Maybe I went a bit overboard? They are far from perfect but I have yet to track down the appropriate shade of sand that the screen-greeblies appear to be scoured with. I am thinking next I will experiment with some of Tamiya's modeling line of weathering materials
Either way, I am having a lot of fun getting to experiment with these little bits =) I've sold a couple blank sets to others, so I can't wait to see what some other folks come up with!
