Since we are getting down to the details I decided to go for the details of the silver “wire” seen on the skiff battle. I am really happy this exists because prior I was running the lines behind the codpiece and through the zipper at the bottom of the flight suit. It was a pain…

I never really liked the way the kill stripes turned out. The first helmet I got had too many. ROTJ should have 18 of them. The kill stripes sit approximately 5mm from the headband, are approximately 2cm tall, 4mm wide and have about a 3mm gap between them. Don’t like metric? Get over it. It’s…

Doing more with the tracks. I noticed in some of the reference photos there are several micro-scratches on it, obviously from being tossed around Slave I (I refuse to call it by its new name). In a few of the reference photos sent to me from some 501st folks I noticed significant scratches and colors…

I caused a bit of a stir when showing the tank glyphs on the jetpack. The glyphs on the image that is on the CRL are burgundy matching the tops of the thrusters. However, the official decision on them is that they are black. And since I painted them on red when painting them black…

I have been struggling to get new patches from a supplier since November. However, he has been having some serious health problems. Since I was sent the wrong pouches I decided to make the change myself. So I went to Joann Fabrics, got a bottle of “chocolate” Rit dye and went to work. Here is…

Jetpack: v2 After being so impressed with the armor and service from MinuteFett I asked about purchasing a jetpack from him but he told me he does not do that. He recommended I contact Seven Cat Studios and purchase a jetpack from him, which I did. It took about a month to arrive. It was…

I was so pleased with the armor from MinuteFett I ordered a helmet from him. It took a while to be made and arrive but it was worth it! I also opted for the metal (aluminum) “ears” and rangefinder stalk. These are the progress pics of it being painted. After the jump check out the…
