I got some Jango armor and finished it up. It's BKBT armor. Beautiful set...

I used Rub n' Buff for it (that great, magical wax stuff). It ended up having a slight blueish tint that looks fantastic in person. I also weathered it a bit with some black, green, and brown paint mixed together and diluted with some water.

Also tried it on. :cool:

Any suggestions are appreciated!!

That is looking cool... though... I wonder how he can perform his bounty hunter duties in such a shiny piece of armor...

What I meant was: his target will see him a mile away in shiny armor such as that... :lol

Oh, well um..... good question. :lol

I always liked his design though. Very Ralph McQuarrie like. (even though I don't think McQuarrie had anything to do with the new movies)

Nope, Bobamaker vest. I got it from someone on TDH for $180 (I think?). Don't know what Bobamaker charges direct. Great vest too!

Here's a pic of an original, just for the heck of it. :lol

I know BKBT is working on leg armor, but I'm not sure if he's had a run yet. Other than him, there isn't much of an option out there.

And I don't have a suit for leg armor yet anyway. :lol

The BM Vest is nice. I just spoke to BKBT about his goodies and his leg armor will be out intime for Halloween.
