Hi everyone! Been a minute since I've been active, but my Boba Fett remains the pride of my costume collection. At least, it was, until a series of failures at a troop in May forced me to hang up the cape. The pic below was from that troop. What happened? My flamer got caught on a chair and...

Been a bit since I've been on TDH, but I'm glad you are able to pull a few silver linings out of this otherwise terrible situation. I have half a mind to buy something just to have you paint it... :p Best of luck to you. Hopefully you stay in the business for a while. I need to buy more stuff...

He shows up on the 501st forums every once in a while and tries to whore himself out. With all the people getting removed from the Legion by LCO, it'd be nice if he could be on that list for defrauding members.

ESB and ROTJ helmet shapes are actually completely but subtly different. The ESB helmet cheeks are flared out more prominently, and the brow has a subtle "wobble" to it where the ROTJ helmet is straight. It's similar to the differences between an ANH and ROTJ TK bucket. The physical damage is...

That looks awesome man. Looks like you've cultivated a lot of the skills you'll need for the BEST Fett (ESB). Good luck on your build!

As far as I know this guy has been blacklisted 501st-wide. It's so important to do your research before spending a dime. Full commissions are close to impossible to find, not just for this particular costume, but in this hobby. Your best bet is to do everything you possibly can yourself. I...

I had heard they were sketchy, I'm glad that finally fills in the details for me. That should seal it for anyone: if you want ANYTHING, go directly to the seller! Don't deal with middle-men. Do your research and know what you're getting into. Costume/prop making isn't a hobby for people who...

I'll second Wasted Fett. Also check out the Imperial Outpost Armory sale threads in the cargo hold, this is the continuation of RKD armor (which I have). Contrary to what the other poster said, avoid Ebay, Etsy, any other places like that. There are plenty of people out there who sell cheap...

Don't forget the action shot!

Yeah, I had them really good at one point but the straps end up different lengths every troop. Plus I have some pretty severe scoliosis so they need to be very different lengths. It's really tough to get them the proper length so the jetpack doesn't sag, AND have both straps equally tight so one...

This is awesome, thanks. Yeah I have almost no weight on the top straps which is part of my problem, they just fall right off the clips :lol: I have little adjusters on the straps but when my wife pulls the straps through the holes in the back plate, i think the adjusters are moving slightly and...

Alright folks. So I was approved today and I am already ready to hop on the bandwagon for upgrades. 1. Let's talk about how the back plate and collar plate attach. Right now I have my poor wife bolt them together every troop. I have the screws resin'd to the backplate, which feed through holes...

Yeah I don't know how I feel about this. If they do it right, even though he's the titular character, they'll keep him mostly in the shadows like the Godzilla reboot that came out a few years ago.

At tonight's troop there was a pro photographer taking tons of pics. This appears to be the only on they actually posted on their Facebook page :p hopefully we'll see some more tomorrow!

Thanks everyone. It's been an insane journey. Some good, some bad. I'm hoping my wife and I can get really good at suiting me up and down so I can make it my primary trooping costume.
