First of all, I got my BM lid today. It´s a real beauty to say the least. So, in good TK-2330 tradition, the first thing I did when I got it home was to paint it!! I just did the insides black to start with. When that had dried I went over it woththe first layer, a light grey. Tomorrow I´m starting on the left ear (following TerminalFettlers step-by-step ESB guide on this one).
Here´s some pics (they are mirrored, so no, the dent is not on the wrong side):
Fettpride also said that my armor will ship today, so it´ll be here soon I guess:)
Lastly, I dyed my flightsuit the correct color (from grey to light blue) and also started weathering it, pics to come tomorrow.
Here´s what´s to arrive in the following couple of weeks:
After viewing the blog from work, I saw that the middle column is misplaced. I'm not sure how to fix this just yet.
The page does view correctly in Firefox and Safari at least. You shouldn't be using Internet Explorer anyway, so there you go... :-)
I finally got my lazy butt out to a store here in Oslo. I knew from their website that they sold Vallejo-paints, but I kinda got hung up on Floquil for some reason. Aaaanyway... I found the green, yellow and silver I need for the best Boba-paintjob, and I don't have to buy it from eBay either...woohoo!
I still have to get the red, concrete, gunbolt, light yellow+++ But they have them all there.
I did a colortest today, and it looked great, so I'm totally stoked! I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow showing how the color turned out and the names of the different colors.
It's also looking like I'm not getting my gauntlets sold, so I'm considering redoing them for ESB in stead. We'll se how that fares at a later time.
Until next time....
Finally, after much searching and html-editing, I've got the new blog up and running. As some of you may notice, the colotheme is taken from the Boba Fett ESB helmet. I thought it would be a nice touch seeing as it is my current project.
I'll get some pics and stuff on here ASAP. But, since I've taken a couple of steps back in my progress (I started on a ROTJ Boba, but changed mid-way to ESB in stead), there isn't that much to show off just yet. I'll post pics showing what I have purchased/made so far though, and more items are on the way shortly. The parts I'm really looking forward to getting now is my Bobamaker helmet kit and Bobby Fett UK's jetpack!! And also a facecast of Jeremy Bulloch (#1 of 30 made by Bobamaker).
