Some time ago I decided I was not pleased with my old colours. Somehow what I had in mind and what it became where two totally different things. Long story short, I repainted the entire thing. The only part that is still in the original colours is the orange part around the visor, the earpieces and the shoulder pads. The gaunts will soon be replaced by better quality ones, which will be painted in the same desert colour as the rest of the armour. Now, without any further delay, version 2:



And the obligatory close up



Next version will have a jetpack added to it as well, as I feel like I'm missing some much needed bulk right now.

I like it! Nice classic mando look with your own personal touch added in. I think a jetpack will be a nice touch. I know some folks are not a fan of jetpacks at all but to me a pack really adds alot to a kit. I really couldn't imagine mine without my arena pack strapped to my back.

Whoa, totally lost sight of this thread. Thanks to all for the kind words, sorry that my reply took some time.

I really like the boots. Where'd you get them?

Jardo, the boots come from CAboots. A lot of people, both here and on the TDH forum recommended them. You can find them here:
https://www.caboots.com/cart/product/boba_fett_ankle_boots/

The spike came from evolution props in Argentina. If you send him an E-mail he can send you the spikes separately.
The boots are awesome, can't recommend them enough. Don't forget that they have to be weathered though.

Tell me about the cloth around your neck. What is that?! It looks neat, I have a knitted thing like it for riding my bike in the winter... But it's too terrestrial for my kit. Also where did you get the cloth large belt pouches? I am concise ring a pair.
I dig your rig.

As someone who knows Bernie's kit pretty darn well ( I have been his handler for a at least 5 troops, helping him get dressed and such :P ), the cloth around his neck is a sniper scarf he airbrushed a pattern on. And the cloth pouches are handmade by someone we know ( Creative Art Shop on etsy Here ).
