CFO build


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, 

 

I'm in the middle of building a CFO Jedi kit.  

 

I have attached some photos of the build so far. Any advice or feed back would be appreciated.

CFO stormy forearms and shins gluedCFO stormy parts almost all glued.

 

I have got a pre-built helmet and I have one which is with the kit as well. (Want to take time over building the kit one) is there anything I need to change to the pre-built one apart from the lenses?

Another question do the thighs look okay? or does the line on the front need to be cleaner?

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Great job so far, the only thing I see is the bottom looks like it was overlapped.  I'm not sure with ROTJ but a butt connection is the preferred method for EIB and Centurion

Thanks, I have been told different things by different people. That build is different and is overlapped and other people have said use a cover strip? Its all a little confusing on this part. As I want it to be correct.

Troopermaster is another maker, he also does a ROTJ but is also generally very knowledgeable about how original armour went together.

I have contacted Mark (CFO) and also found Paul (Troopermaster) and sent him a message as well. 

 

Cheers for all the info Chris, much appreciated.

Managed to get the thighs sorted so the fit properly.  (had to strip them back a couple of times) 

 

Thighs

 

 

 

Almost all the outer beading on,  just the bum plate and the abdominal plate to finish.  Also finished the thermal detonator

I am going to build the helmet as soon as I have finished the armour for sure. 

It's a slow process but I'm getting closer.

Sunday evening update, after having an odd day on the leg parts. 

Have started strapping the upper body together. Still need to attach the biceps to the bells with poppers to stop them from slipping (Is that correct?)

Attached the glove parts with velcro but they keep coming off so may just glue the velcro to the glove.

Will start on the butt and abs section over the week and attach it to the chest and back and join the chest and back together as well

Not updated here in a while, have had loads of issues with the shins and thighs not being big enough. Have put strips on the back and used abs paste to start building them out. Have done one fill and sand which has come up not to bad.  Just second filled will then sand and then wet sand to get shine.

Yes, with elastic straps, attach bicep underside to the bells' underside shoulder area.  The straps should not show at all.

 

What I'm doing is gluing male snaps/fasterners to the underside of the handshell and use female-side of snaps attached to elastic straps to wrap around the hand.
