ESB Build (Short BH)

[TK50175]

Update on the cape.
Used RafalFett template on the cape. Well my rendition of it lol. Still need to weather the holes a tad bit.

Now I have to say it looks good in wool!

Lookin’ Awesome! I wouldn’t worry too much about being short, I’m just over 5’5” and have a standard (I think) size bucket and Jetpack (Jetpack’s scratch made from WoF templates) and have extra insoles in my boots to make me an inch and a half taller. Keep up the good work!

Outside light on the cape.

Indoor natural light.

I need to iron the cape again. The creases keep coming back.

tubachris85x thank you so much for these knee darts. One step closer.

Top quality stuff you have! Fett4Real has a lot of experience and things to say about scaling of the Fett costume, though I'm sure others do as well. I know he did a 3/4 jetpack he intended to mold at one point, but I've been gone for a while and am not sure what happened with that.

Nice job on that cape!

ESB soft parts. Need to trim the vest.

 

[droidbait]

Fits me good! ... for now

My Fett boots from my friend Landher. Size 8. They need some work. I don’t like that they’re not completely flat in the front. But hey these are really nice. Better than CaBoots newer rounded suede version.

I also rough trimmed my shin tools for a test fit.

Loving this build. I know my build was meant for shorter folks but I'm at 5 foot 6" and have a hard time getting things to fit my look too. After building my sister's and seeing your's it definitely makes me want to do my own build now.

I wish I could love this comment! I started my first Fett in 2011 but I was self conscious about height and not looking right so I scrapped the build. But I saw my friend Ghost_Fett build and gave me the motivation to do it again. He’s 5’6” too, he also has a great build thread.

Thanks brother yeah man check out my build thread. I’m 5’6” and dealing with all the challenges that come with it. General - gablesz WIP

I forgot to add this pic also. I used some old foam from my rifle box. Cut them into some squares and added them to the pouches. I think it looks decent. No more flabbies.

 

[droidbait]

Used black acrylic paint for the first layer. Going to airbrush the rest. Should’ve done it in the first place. You don’t think right when you’re hungry.

 

[droidbait]

Also if you’re looking for some nice Fett boots. My friend makes them. You can PM for more info. The issue for me is that the boots are not completely flat. The front part lifts up the ground. Bothers me, but hey oh well. Here are some pics if you’re interested.

My helmet arrived today. Made by ToEleven.
