Here's a pic of the helmet so far. It needs clear-coating, visor, and mesh, and a mouthpiece which I don't have.

Let’s face it; being tracked down by the empire is far more fun for a 5yo than looking at props behind glass.

Yeah. Or a mold made from one. Some extra pieces. Looks nice, though. Great weathering.

Its a resin casting, but I'm not sure of the origin. I got it from a local guy who unfortunately no longer has the mold.

Yes he is right. Just likes to show off his shiny helmets. Something no self respecting clone would have. Shiny, heh, I fart in your general direction.

Now if he could just keep from dropping them and destroying the other ones, he would be just fine.

The armor is coming along. All major assembly is done with the exception of the belt. I'll be painting the belt boxes and the belt itself before attaching the boxes. Other than that, I'm in the strapping and painting phase on the main suit. The accessories still need attention.
