In the meantime while the ears are trying I started trimming most of the parts. Final trimming will be done after the first test fitting.

Yeah more ROTJ for Germany! Erstmal hallo und viel Spaß beim basteln!

 

Is that your first armor?

 

Back to your question: actually i can't tell what part is which by seeing the picture but if you look at it you should be able to tell by yourself. Hold them together and see if it fits. Imo it's really hard to do that wrong. The thighs are super easy to identify.

 

To shin is a little harder but just check your own. I mean... Your real one. I saw a video where it's explained pretty well but cant find it right now.

I took some time yesterday and put on the first colour (Humbrol No 5) on the ears. I wanted to start with the thrown and the voccodor but my satin black desiccated, so I have to wait until the new bottles will arrive. So I will go on with the glossy black on the ears on sunday.

Dude. If you're used to ANH because of owning one and most build threads are about ANH troopers/buckets, the rotj looks so darn strange! Don't get me wrong. Your build is great. Seeing a ROTJ just kinda feels funky to me.

 

But,.. Good job so far! :)

Sorry, I'm not a big help concerning the helmet.

 

But you did great job so far.

No matter, you were a big help in some other cases :)

 

Ear painting finished today. For the first time not bad, but I need some more practice on painting :)

Chris,

 

Great job on your build. Everyone who has built a bucket has felt the pain of building the ears but you nailed it considering you aren't using screws on only glue. Bravo to you. My only question is your brow trim suppose to be that low ?

When you paint the frown, always remember to brush away from the tape, so you reduce any chances of paint bleed under the tape. It looks like you have used the correct tape for the job which is great, I on the other hand learnt the hard way and used the standard green painters tape.

Thx a lot....To your question, I put brow that low because on some reference pictures the brow was that low and I like that position.

thx for that hint. I first thought about using the normal painters tape, but than I decided to buy this Zierlienienband / Konturenband, sry can´t find english word for that :) Normally this tape is used for painting cars....

Perfect - I'm a paint rep - also a good idea to take the tape off sooner rather than later so you don't get bleed.

Still waiting on the arrival of the missing Humbrol colors. So I made a first test fitting with the tights. My tights a very voluminous And i can´t trim them more. Do you think I can glue them in place like they are ? My as looking so big on the last photo  :laugh1:

Looks right.

 

Maybe you could try to allign the two halfs a bit more.

Then glue them in the front and try fitting the back again :)

Ok I will try what I can do. On the right I have to trim a bit more to get a flat end but I have to be carful not trim to much. Than I will try to align them in the front.
