BFKN Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 It would have been awesome too if they had the CRL for the tusken warrior. ?? waiting on fabric before I weather everything. ?? 1 1 Link to comment
fowlmouth Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Wow, this is incredible! I also agree the warrior from BOB would be amazing. But the ANH Sand People are no less awesome. Nice work! 1 Link to comment
BFKN Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Quickly banged out the proper robe with the correct fabric. It still needs tweaking and sizing to look better on my frame plus still need to be weathered. ?? Link to comment

BFKN Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Had to look for something similar to Peter Diamond???s robe which sorta has more texture than monks cloth. It???s called tufted terry. ?? ?? Edited May 20, 2022 by BFKN Link to comment

BFKN Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Using some scraps to find out how to do the weathering. im still debating if I should get an airbrush kit or research some other methods to weather the fabric. ?? After mixing some paint and diluting with water, I used a spray bottle to do it. I like the color but now the fabric is a bit stiff. ?? ?? ?? any suggestions? Link to comment
Backpacks Got Jets Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Put it in the dryer with some fabric softener sheets Link to comment

I used an airbrush to weather Boba and it really works well. You can spray acrylic fabric paints and they can be heat-set to make it permanent. It???s washable after that! ??I definitely recommend an airbrush. You can get the whole set-up including a dual action airbrush, hose, moisture trap and ultra quiet air compressor with auto shut-off from Harbor Freight Tools for like $90!!! It works really well too. https://www.harborfreight.com/1-5-hp-58-psi-compressor-and-airbrush-kit-95630.html 1 Link to comment
BFKN Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 @Swiftcloud??what brand of paint should I get? Link to comment
BFKN Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Dyed the pouches. ?? also got the airbrush. Thought I???d practice on the part where it???s not showing too much. Mixing paint always a pain in the butt. I might have also went apeshit on it. ?? ?? Link to comment
BFKN Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Just realized that the head wrap, arm wrap and the boot wrap should be the same color. I guess I???ll have to redo the boots. Link to comment
