Re: Project updates 30 June - Return of the Skywalker
Working on these mannequins is a pain. I think I need to take even more off Luke's shoulders. Means taking him apart again and hacking/taping/fiberglassing again.
Going to have to do the same with the Fett mannequin as well. He stands up straight until I put his boots on but they cause him to lean forward. And that's after 3 attempts to get the legs/feet right.
I hate the whole process!!!

Thanks everyone.
I'm struggling to get Boba Fett finished. Trying to attach the armor to the vest the accurate way with grommets and plastic screws is proving to be impossible for me. Three days at it and just getting nowhere! :facepalm

Re: Project updates 6 July - Boba Fett flak vest armor attachment with grommets/eyele
Marcus´goal is to recreate EVERYTHING exactly like the original..down to the last tiny detail, if possible.
Hell...it is KURTYBOY we´re talking about! One of the most detail-fanatic RPF-members in existence

Project updates 11 July - Vader ESB(ish) rebuild
This guy has been dug out of storage, overhauled and rebuilt. Several parts need upgrading but I just can't afford to spend on props what I could 6 years ago so this is how he'll look for the foreseeable future. It's supposed to be ESB but some of the parts don't match. The helmet is a GH RotJ for example although I do have an untouched TM ESB but no motivation to finish it! Chest and arms need some more padding...
Here are some recognizable poses for ya!

And here's the completed belt. ESB stunt style - all real parts. Finished like the tour belts with battery pack on the back. The green lights nearest the buckle are the push buttons that turn each belt box on and off. Button down for off, button up for on.

Project updates 12 July - Vader ESB(ish) and Boba Fett rebuilds!
Rebuild of Boba Fett mannequin also complete. Some minor work to the right gauntlet and helmet interior, jetpack beacon installed... he's never looked so good!
Here's a shot under the hood.
Reasonably accurate interior.
Original helmet.

Project updates 15 July - Father and son.
Thanks, the helmet interior was a lot of work to find all the parts. Mostly the correct electronics components, screws/washers/bolts, chin straps and chin cup etc.
I thought this would make a fun photo. Father and son.
This one would look really cool with Luke's RotJ outfit and binders.
