Re: Gruff's ROTJ Build
Boots have arrived. $74AUD for leather boots. Not bad hey?
Now to remove the loops at the top:
I think they look great, thoughts?
More updates to come.

Helmet arrived today. Let's just say I'm less than impressed 
It looks like it was packed before the paint dried properly. There are deep bubble wrap marks all over it.
It's fibreglass, so I can rub it back and repaint, but it is a bit misshapen as well.

Where is the helmet from??? It´s terrible to see on the pics, sure you can revise it, but annoying anyway.

I too would be interested in knowing where the helmet came from as it almost appears to be a Don Post recast.
One thing you'll need to fix outside of the paint is the visor as it is not tinted dark enough for approval.

Helmet is a fiberglass from Thailand. The seller is now on evilbay. I'm not sure if it is quite as small as a DP, but it is a little tight around the neck part when putting it on. Let's just say Ash can't get it on. Not sure what his bucket is but it's bigger, not a lot though. If it is a DP recast, it's been made larger I think.
I was aware of the visor issue too. Ash has some tint which I can put on the inside.
I'm in negotiation with the seller about getting some money back. I took a chance and it didn't pay off. Oh well,I'll just have to sand it back and repaint it once my robes arrive.
