That looks super nice, it looks like it toned down beautifully with the weathering.

Are you using an airbrush and washes?

I've done it both ways.  My personal Protector is airbrushed and washed, with that set pictured being just airbrush.

Why did you mute those beautiful sigils so much?!?!  :laugh:

Put a lighter green on top of the dark green and I’m liking it so much better then the dark.



Gauntlets are also done besides weathering and electronics

(I’ll grab pics of all the gaunt shells later)

I’ve also started weathering the flight suit.

I know what you’re thinking, blue?? Trust the process, hopefully it turns out nice *crosses fingers*

Thank you!

I’m looking at making some belt pouches like these ww2 ammo pouches. Are these close enough to boba/jango style pouches?

I would imagine those belt pouches would be fine!

Why not just drop the extra dangly strap? Most of the Mando peeps have the strappy belt bits - be more originally unoriginal and go the more traditional route I say! haha

I was actually thinking of adding those purse magnet clasps instead of the strap :laugh:

I’ve finished with my first 2 sets of pouches, I’m thinking of having another one just like this around the back of the belt plus some singles in the front.

Gotta beat ‘em up and weather them still.

Gloves are also about done, maybe some airbrushing left to go and then some patches.


Knees have been built and completed.


And after the first pass of weathering


Chest has also been weathered slightly with an airbrush. I’ve hit the whole kit in matte clear to lock in the first pass and I’ll be going over it again.


Hope to have more updates soon! The helmet is the next big project.

Thanks guys! More weathering to come!

In the mean time a question on glove patches, in regards to this part of the BRLs do any of these pass muster?

Quote
Patches such as the US 7th Infantry Division or FORSCOM shown on Boba's Pre-production costume may be worn on gloves.
Similar patches may also be worn, at the discretion of the Legends Brigade Marshal.









And this last one’s a stretch because I know it’s not round but come on how cool would it be since I’m from Ohio and all, pretty please??   :'(

It's up to whoever the Marshal is to make the call, but the more basic geometric the shape, the better.
