Done up to the knees!

I just had to try on the boots, flightsuit, spats and shin tools to see how it looked.

Never put Vader on pause on tv!

Look what happends!

Harness belt and jetpack thrusters

I have assembled the harness belt with the US Divers belt buckle, and the thrusters are painted. They need weathering, but I thought I'd post them anyway. ;)

The black pattern is painted on the thrusters, now is the time for weathering.

Progress on Boba

I have done some more painting, and here's the result!

My chest and abdomen armour, ready for blackwash.


My jetpack painted yellow, with masking fluid still on.


Jetpack painted red, still with all the masking on.

Some parts finally done!

Here's some pics of the parts I have that is totally finished.

First up is my gauntlets, which I bought from BobbyFettUK. They were too small for him, and that makes them perfect for me.








My boots, with boot spikes and lots of black weathering.


My shin tools, all painted and ready.


Wookiee braids, also known as scalps.


My ammo belt with eight pouches.


The rear of my ammo belt.

Boba progress

I have done some more progress on my Boba Fett costume. It's still a lot to do, but I have at least learned the tecniques now. All there is to do now is to paint as often as I can and hope there is enough time. :)




First coat of grey on top of the red battle damage on the ear. I might try a coat of primer actually, just because it's thicker.




First coat of yellow on the jetpack. Looks a bit light yet, but will be darker when more coats are applied. The paint is a bit runny, so the next coat will be misted on turns.



One of the chest pieces, painted green with yellow and silver battle damage under the masking fluid. Can't wait to peel it off!



My EE-3, first coat of dark grey applied. Need to figure out what the next coat should be. The blaster is grey in the movie, but it looks a bit weird.




One of the shin tools almost done, just need a bit of weathering and hairspray.




Boots with spikes glued on, needs a bit of weathering and some white silicone behind the spikes.

Easy removeable sound system, all in one helmet!

Me and TK-7060 have done a spring cleaning in our helmets! All of the sound system in my helmet was tucked in with gaffer tape, and it was a pain combined with long hair, loose batteries, wires and all the other mess.

To make the set up with ROM/fX and troopercom a little more snug, I made tubes of lycra with velcro on the back and a zipper in the front. Inside the tube, I just tucked all the boards, wires, batteries and chaos. Then I put a line of velcro inside the tubes in my helmet.



Two tubes with ROM/FX, troopercom, batteries and wires. One open, one closed.





Just connect the mini-jacks to the speakers, microphone and magnet switch in the helmet.



Tada! Tuck the tube inside the helmet, and you're good to go!

Thermal detonator done!

The thermal detonator for my Boushh costume is finally done! I used rub'n'buff to get it shiny, and then I added Tamiya sand coloured weathering. The weathering doesn't show much on the pics, though. I really like the design of this one, as it lights up and blinks when I pull the safety button.

Progress on the Webley

During the armour party we had at our place this weekend, I got to work a bit on my blaster.




The scope mounts, before and after replacing the resin screws with real ones.

The Webley stamp, I just couldn't glue the greeble on top of it.

The blaster roughly put together

Soft parts and wookiee scalps arrived!

I finally got my soft parts and wookiee scalps (aka braids)! The braids are superb, and have got all the details right. The flightsuit is perfect, though a little tight over the hips. I'll try to move the seams a bit, but I only have half a centimetre to work with on each side. The flakvest, neckseal and spats fit perfectly, and the pouches look good too! :)

I hope that making the suit more loose over the hips and tighten up my chest with some sports underwear will make me look a bit more like a man too. ;)
