Basement trim, New Autographs & Fett Cod

In this pic you can see some of the baseboards I out in on the weekend. You can also see Boba Fett's Cod Piece that is just primed grey right now. I't been 3 coats of bondo so far....still needs some detail.
















Here is a little more trim and the wood I put on the ledge for shelves.
















A buddy in Flrida just sent me a few new personalized autographs from Star Wars Weekends at Disney. THANKS AARON!
















I also got the Ewok Tunic signed. Hard to make it out in the picture. It says, "For Jason, Yub Yub, Warwick Davis, Wicket). COOL!

More parts arrived!!!

I got Threepio's arms, legs and head and a Jedi Trainign Remote. I was expecting a Fett Rangefinder and his jetpack rockets, but they didnt come.

I spent a bit of time trimming up the castings and I duct taped the head in place...just to see.

A Rough Night

I weathered more of the armor. Everything will need a black wash later to dull it down and make it all look dirtier.

Damaged Goods

Here are a couple updated pics. I finished off his yellow shoulder armor and damaged the collar armor and added the shoulder studs (one of which holds his cape on).

Fett Armor has begun

I took my styrene piecs of Armor (I got from a friend in trade) and heated them up with a heat gun to bend them to the right shape. Then some primer and paint..and velcro to attach the pieces.

They need to be weathered and scrathed and dings and dents need to be painted, but it's a start!

Yes that is just a cheap toy gun for now.

Sprayed clear gloss on Fett

I did this to protect the stickers, but it sure makes the colors pop out more. I will be diryting him up and wetahering a lot more, but he should have a glossy undertone...

Fett Update...Kill Stripes and some decals

I cut out a printout of the kill stripes (yellow stripes on helmet) and cut them out with a razor blade..then taped it on the helmet and painted them on. I am very happy with how they turned out. You can also see my attempted decals on the ears. They turned out ok. I'm going to spray over top of them with a clear paint..then once it's all weathered it should look better...I hope.

Fett Ears and Threepio Torso

Haven't had time for much progress..but with my back hurting I did what I could between rests.

Carpet Tiles Down

Here are some pics of my theater/tv area with the carpet tiles down.

Still need to add trim, shelves, door, and do some framing/drywalling/painting, and a drop ceiling in the entrance area. Will this EVER end?!












































Hard to get a pic in this lighting....the projected image looks a LOT better than it shows here.


















This is a little better.

Vader....new Helmet and Chest Armor!

He's starting to look a little more ominous now! My home made chest armor and the voice changer helmet have been replaced with better ones!

More basement progress...PROJECTOR BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!

Here are some pics of the basement. We worked HARD this weekend!!!!!!!!!


















The screen turned out GREAT! Man...I used silverscreen (behr) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched the Empire STRIKES Back and MAN do the colours pop out now. SOOOOO much better than projecting onto white. The space scenes are BLACK and the engines are a bright red glow.

Which one is real??

My ewok arrived last week.....looks GREAT! No point moving him to the basement which is still a disaster!!

Will be painting phase 2 this weekend!!! Then we are MUCH closer to being done...(except for phase 3).

Basment Progress....

Well...worked our butts off, but we got part of the basement liveable!!!! Once we are closer to having the other side done I'll lay out carpet tiles, so the area rug will do for now. We still have to add wood for the ledge shelves, outlet covers, trim, etc....but we are a lot closer!

Some basement progress

This is my TV nook. Nice to get that beast out of the way!

















This is the window to the left of the tv wall.

















This is the wall opposite the Tv. I am going to put wood shelves along that ledge...so I can display a few things.

















The only progress on my Fett since the last post is I managed to paint the cheekbone areas on the helmet (the dark green). Here is is sporting his new armour (that has yet to be shaped and painted).






















Here are a couple Lord of the Rings swords I got for CHEAP at a liquidation store near my work. Lucky find!

Third time with green....much better.

This is a LOT more the colour I was going for with the green. I dropped my bottle of paint after spraying JUST enough so I hope I don't need to do any touch ups!! PAINT EVERYWHERE!

Then I masked off the helmet and painted on the red. Then I removed the liquid latex I had painted on a few days ago to pull off the red in various places for the "weathered" look. I am very happy with the results!!

Painting begun...not right color tho??

I painted the cheeks and dome of my Fett helmet...but the Panzer Olive Green appears way too dark!!

I added some yellow to it and tried again..still too didn't seem right. Grrr.

Beginnings of Fett...Mando Symbol in Stainless..

More pics...

This is just the beginning of my Fett. I converted my Spiderman PVC mannequin to this one. It's been tough to get the proporiones right....but once he has hands, fett, armour, etc it should look better...I hope...




















Here is the Mandolorian Symbol cut from Stainless Steel....sweet!!

Yoda with Eyes....and Basement progress!

'Nuff said,,heres some pics!

Mando Symbols

Not much is new..just wanted to post a couple pics of a mandolorian symbol I got cut out.

Hair Today....

Well I spent the night gluing hair on yoda...

Turned out pretty good. I am happy!
