Alright, just did a bit of Dry Brushing, I tried to black wash but I couldn't get the mixture right or that the areas I was painting on had paint and caused it to dissolve with the mixture of Acrylic/brush cleaner and flat black

Here is what I got

Definitely better! It might be a bit much, but a good amount of black wash /grime will knock it down. I like it!
What he said  :P
Black wash will definitely dirty it up and make the weathering look more natural.

Alright Ladies and Gentlemandos, As I just got my hands on some foam PVC plastic to serve as a backplate/shroud for my Jetpack. I am in a Dilemma of finding parts to make a missile. In the picture below is my workbench and those are actually all the parts I Propose that could make a missile.

I am not really crazy for similarities to Jango's Concussion missile or Boba's Anti-vehicle missile. Since my Mando is a Weapon smith, he pretty much made the missile himself and have plenty of more.

(*PICTURES COMING SOON!!!)

Looks a bit huge to me, I'd either take away the bottom of the 2 blue ones or remove both blue ones altogether - wouldn't want you to knock it off while walking through doorways  ;)

Now that looks mean! Almost gives off an EMP missle vibe.

Here is the second proposed Missile





(Note that Greeblie 1 can fit the top of the jetpack snug)


(Greeblie 5 & 4 alone wouldn't be able to fit on the top of the pack)

Just worked on my missile, Just need to weather it up and use hot glue to stick all the part together.



After that, I'm going to need to make a harness...somehow

Alright chaps, just finished up my missile *PICTURES WILL BE COMING SOON!!!*

Now there is one last thing that must be done for my Jetpack to be considered complete, and that is a harness system.

What can be done to make a very basic but strudy harness?
