Thank you!

I agree, but I'm a little bias.  ;)

So, now that the silly helmet is done we can move on to other things.  I will start with the boots!


My ever faithful MOW boots that I use on my Protector.  This is how they looked fresh out of the box.  I weathered them lightly for that kit, but now the time has come for them to realize their full dirty potential.

I darkened the middle stripe with some thinned out acrylic paint, and then applied a charcoal wash for the first round of weathering. 



That's where they stand right now.  If all goes to plan, I should finish them up this weekend.

What are you going to use to attach your toe spikes and what material are they?

I really had trouble with mine untill words like screws, threadlock and welding came in to play

I just used a tiny strip of industrial strength velcro. 20+ troops and they haven't budged.  :)

Speaking of which....boots!



Shin tool test fit...  I'll likely go with another set of shin tools since I just grabbed these from my Protector to try it out.

Had some time tonight to get my Boba plates roughly trimmed.





Mock up on the vest.  I'll get the placement all worked out and then start the paint process.

I have been working on this here and there...


Dyed, or rather stained my girth belt with minwax penetrating wood stain.


DUEP'

And finally got my locking pins onto my armor.  The surface of the plate and pin  got roughed up and attached with JB weld and after that set and dried, I pressed on plumbers epoxy for reinforcement.

are you using thumbtacks to poke little holes where the attachments go?

I just ordered some jewelry pins and locking backs from amazon. Did you read Fettastic's write up regarding those? Hard to tell from your image, but appears to be the same method. Great to see you working on your Fett. You're probably a few steps ahead of me, and with your helmet done, quite far ahead, ahaha.

Great to follow your work.
