HIC full size on a beer fridge!

[and2102]

I've spent the last year or so randomly starting projects, getting bored, half finishing them and completely failing to share any progress on any of the forums that have given me all the skills I needed to do them in the first place! I'm mid project on a Boba helmet, Rogue One death trooper armour, converting an R1 TK helmet, my second BB-8, second R2D2, pipe based E11. My HIC was based on a king jawa cast, 3D printed panels and a shed load of PVA and MDF from Wickes. I didn't have a spare wall space for it and my wife moans enough abough having stuff everywhere so decided to mount onto the fridge in the garage.

Hey and2102 ! Lookin' frozen! And welcome to the forum!

The "Insert Image" icon is the third icon to the right of the smiley face. It's the one that looks like a picture of a tree and is in between the Earth with a red X icon and the film strip icon.

That said, I don't think this site and DropBox work together. Try Photobucket instead or just upload the photos directly to TheRPF using the Insert Image's "Browse" feature.

Was starting to work on the weathering. The paint is Hammerite straight to metal smooth silver with black and burnt umber acrylic washes for weathering. No electronics, just a glow in the dark panel which seems to do the trick fairly well. I ended up going much darker with the finish than the original just from personal preference - I saw the original at the exhibit in London a few months ago and it really didn't look like it did in the film just due to a browny tinge and some dodgy lighting:
