That helmets looks awesome!!

Really cool work you did with that! It is definitely unique. I'd be able to tell which sandy was you in a group of em. I can't wait to see you fully weathered.

What a great turn out! wow!

Looks great!!! I like how its weathered

I see you're in Carida! Where you from brother? Glad to see awesome progress on your TD!

Thanks Rolf! I am very excited to wear my armor places. Halloween can't get here soon enough!!

Can't wait to see you get back at it brother! Thanks for following my build!

I know you'll get it man! Thank you in advance for protecting and serving!

Thanks man! How is your suit coming along?

I'll work on it! Taking a breather right now haha. I know I'll have to retake photos a certain way for approval.

So I slaved hard for the past few weekends to finish this suit up!!! It was a lot of fun to build. I got a lot of help and advice from you guys and I am very grateful! This armor is a lot of fun to wear! I just have to make a few tweaks here and there but overall... its done! I'd like to snag the other two pauldrons and some rifles so I can mix it up a bit. That would be fun! Anyway, check out the photos and there is a video as well! If you have any questions, comments, advice, etc... post em up! I'd like to hear what you have to say or help in any way I can! Ok, onward to the pics/video! PICTURES VIDEO Thanks for looking!

The FPH2 helmet is gorgeous. I am sure there is some kind of wait for it but if you can wait... that helmet is amazing. Anything FettPride is top knotch. Probably really hard to get but I used to have a TerminalFettler helmet. That thing was a beauty!

That pauldron looks beautiful! Could you share how you did it brother?

Thanks brother! I took pics with the GoPro and my laptop camera (good quality and meh quality) in both good and bad lighting. The overall effect is very similar. I noticed the low quality light shows weathering a bit more. I like the amount I achieved I hope I can keep the same level throughout the suit! Thanks for checking up as always. You've been a huge help to me

So this is what I've gotten done after a couple days of weathering. Let me know what you think! I am going for a slightly dirtier look. Hard at work on Tatooine!

I am going to check that out now. I was looking at it in my hands going "not sure if I like this...." then saw a picture of it and thought "i love this" haha... I will keep doing it the way im doing it. I will pull back some of that "grime" but I like how its coming along so far. I'll have a picture soon hopefully.

I am working on weathering some armor now. Trying some techniques out. I'm using just burnt umber for now. I'm doing a combination of that sponging and then rubbing/twisting the paint away (seems great for getting thick heavy weathering in cracks and large spots like on the chest for example) and watered down burnt umber brushed/sponged on for that mottled/ sandyish look. I am going for that pretty weathered look but nothing too extreme. I'll take some progress pics soon and get your guys' opinions. Does your armor look a lot more weathered in real life than it does in pics? I know thats how it was with my Fett and Biker. In pictures i really like how weathered my armor is but it is defniitely "darker" in real life.

The kit looks amazing man! Good work!

A little update for you guys!!! I got my amazing Dirty Boy backpack kit in this weekend... Firstly, thank you so much Rick for the kit! Honestly I don't know how you round up all these parts like you do for the price you offer your kits at. He was very helpful to me as well. Thanks Boss! That being said, I simply couldn't wait to build this thing. I didn't touch my armor all weekend. I instead, built the backpack! Got it painted and assembled! Just have to weather/age it a bit now! Getting closer!!! I have it so the radio face opens so I can put a speaker in there for TD chatter or what not. These things are a blast to build!

Ohhhh ok! I think my belt is still squared off! Thanks for pointing that out man! That will be step one for me this weekend

I am so jealous! The DLT-19 is by far my favorite. Such a cool weapon! You did wonderful work with this!!
