CFO ROTJ suit

I have been charged with building and reviewing the all new CFO Ruturn Of the Jedi suit.Which has been the sweetheart of our esteemed members JoeR and Sskunky joe and mark.
The molds are from film used parts,the icing on the cake being the ROTJ helmet.The build will follow as close as i can get to the way the ROTJ suit were constructed,and as these are non modified ROTJ parts should go together well.

All parts ams and legs will have the overlap clamshell finish tipical of ROTJ suits unlike the butt joint and finishing strip on the ANH/ESB suits.the suit parts (arms and legs) have been made this way and go together very well ,and have all the tells from the ROTJ original parts.Note the bicep thin profile and the pinched shoulder bell.

All the parts have been weathered the forest moon of Endor style,as that is i feel the only way the ROTJ suit should be presented. Just like the sandtroopers from ANH with their desert grim,The ROTJ strormtrooper should have field weathering.

More to follow very soon! enjoy

I saw this on the prop den.
Most impressive. You certainly live up to your reputation as one of the master builders in this community. I really like the weathering and attention to detail.

I put together one of the CFO helmets and the ears and attaching was the hardest bit for me.


I'm Still looking for a source for the decals to finish it off.

Cheers for sharing

Oh Yes mate luv that Endor forest look going on

Awesome Pete. ABS suit coming your way soon as well mate!

Love the pictures!

The back plate like so many of the CFO ROTJ parts has wonderfully lazy lines almost an organic feel to it.

So Pete with the Jedi style white rubber trim what kind of a return edge does the torso armour need?

The torso has no return edge just like the original ROTJ suits,its the Trim that becomes the return and gives the parts a depth to them.

And in turn with no return edge the body parts are less likely to crack over time and give alot more no doubt. Brilliant work so far

Awesome work Pete! You're really holding up your name!

The torso features the trim excusive to the ROTJ stormtrooper, there is no return edge on any of the torso parts,the trim becomes the return. I am really starting to like this suit.

Man thats sweet work as all ways bro, love how it turns out.
Spot on nice and accurate/lovely

What colour are you doing the ab buttons and what set up have you planned for the belt?

WOW! I love this armour.............WAIT It's mine.....

Lovin' the build Pete and that subtle weathering is mustard mate!


Keep it coming........


You've inspired me to start weathering the build I'm working on at the mo to....Slightly different technique but again very subtle.........I'll start my own thread soon.

Ab buttons are dark blue for the bottom three and very dark and grey ,almost black for the rest.I have 64mm webbing for the belt that will be rivited to the ab-plate along with the drop boxes,just like the ROTJ suits.

That is looking the "nuts"

The ROTJ butt na kidney are in one part unlike the ANH,ESB which are seperated.

The CFO ROTJ helmet is from a direct cast of an original helmet.

F...... A mate

Beautiful!!

This is probably the best Jedi build - in the world!!

I agree, freaking awesome build mate. Wow!

That helmet could easily pass for an original. It will be impossible to tell the difference when you do one in ABS!

Wish I had a fraction of your skills Pete.

Joe

SQUEEEE!!!!! )

Any chance fixing the flicker pic's? I'd love to see them especially after the great comments made

Yes, what Monkeypaw said.
