Harding29's W.i.p. Thread

[Harding29]

UPDATE Ive been busy the past few weeks and havent been able to share this major update with you guys! The weeks prior to the Baltimore Comic Con my friend and I slaved away at getting things done, like staying up all night glassing, sleeping for 3 hours, then sanding all day. But we got a lot done. So take a look any feedback is encouraged!
















Here we were trying out something new for smoothing efforts

First attempt and we realized we added too much and made the walls too high

The shoulders turned out a little better

I actually have this smoothed out a lot more just dont have a picture of the back yet

After the visor was cut out

The band around the head has been cleaned up a bit

Primered and ready for the white

Few coats of white

Visor installed, it took two full attempts to get it placed right. The first visor i cut out I somehow cut the bottom too short.



Quick work up for the gauntlets. Only strengthened. No sanding or smoothing has been done to them. These were pepd the wednesday before comic con, hardened friday night, and painted the morning of Comic con XD

My official first attempt at foam work. I got these finished the night before comic con but wasnt able to use them because I had no way to attach them around my waist

What my suit currently looks like. This was in the parking garage when we first got to comic con.

The knees im working on right now. Im using a templet and just plan to go about strengthening them the same way as you do a pep piece.

Then these are the side pieces of the helmet that im working on as well. I cant wait to get them attached because I think the helm looks funny without them.

Looks like this is turning out nicely! Do you know if you will be able to get your Boba suit 501st approved?

Looking good!

Thanks! I hate that is getting cold and I cant fiberglass all the stuff i need to :/ I also have to redo the gauntets because they were a rush job and got warped as for the 501st, they are so picky lol and Im honestly not worried about getting it approved for right now. I think I may just work on it until Im happy with it lol but maybe down the road Ill get it approved
