Vult Tavik's WIP (New upgrades on pg. 11)
Vult Tavik:
Finally getting around to starting this thread. I have already started working on a few parts, when my son decided that he HAD to build one too. ;D
I really want my first kit to be very similar to Boba, but with my own spin on colors/ customization. My other passions in life is riding Dual Sport with my wife and I absolutely love my BMW (the wife too of course!):
So that was the inspiration for my color scheme on my kit. Please tell me what you think:
To start, I picked an ASOK cold cast helm.
Drilled holes to give the bondo and better "hold".
Filled in the dent with Bondo.
Sanded.
Primed and ready for paint (visor was from my sons HBF and not part of this build).
For the gauntlets, I decided on the MOW ESB.
Washed, sanded and ready to figure out how to glue it all together. :-X
I also have a black flight suit that fits perfectly. I plan to re-use the boots from my Anakin costume and I will post more of those once I get my armor (ordered from tk2280).
Nara Kebiitra:
I'm jealous of those gaunts. Those are gonna be fun to put together.
Niabi:
Wow that's a lot of pieces for those Gaunts :o
You are going to cut the bottom out of the T visor before you paint right?

Absolutely, I am leaving it in their for strength until my armor comes in and I am ready to paint it all. Plus, I have to finish the HBF conversion for my son's helmet as well. I have limited space in my garage with 4 motorcycles that I have to take out when I paint so I am trying to get everything to the same stage before I start painting.
Cassus Dral:
I have the same Gaunts, good set. I love the Detail on the ESB set. MOW takes a bit out of the pocketbook, but it's worth it in my opinion. :D
