Thanks! Yes, I did start a couple months ago. I got lucky in the cargo hold and found things that weren’t posted and decided to take some chances. Luckily I didn’t get burned (too much) and got some good deals. Some of the things I acquired were raw, started, a couple things were finished but needed work or touch ups. I had to build a couple things too because I couldn’t find certain things. The helmet was done by a builder and the chap I bought it from was in an unfortunate situation and had to sell a finished helmet. That’s one thing I didn’t do any work on. Everything else needed work or had to be done from scratch.
I did get an update. I needed to submit additional pics of the boots because they look dark in the shade. I did a better lighting shot, so I’m sure they will be ok. My kidney plate needed a little trim, and I fixed that as well and submitted the corrections. All in all, those couple things aren’t too bad. Keeping the fingers crossed!

Thank you! Good luck! It can be daunting at first. I wasn’t sure where to start because I didn’t want to screw anything up, but at some point you gotta just jump in! Are you doing ESB, ROTJ or SE? Do you have a build thread?

I am doing an ESB build. I haven't started a thread yet, as I have really only acquired a cape so far last week. I have other parts either on the way or being worked on by some talented members though, and I plan on starting a thread once I actually have some content to share.

Congratulations. Looks great. You need to dirty up those gloves!
I agree. The CRL doesn't specify anything about the weathering to the gloves like it does with the flight suit and boots, so for certification I followed the CRL completely. That being said, how does a guy like Fett go through life without literally getting his hands dirty? Hahah!

A couple pics from my first troop with my Fett for a coworker’s son’s birthday party. I am pleased to say it didn’t fall apart! I did have a couple minor issues, such as the belts slipping down. I think I have a couple things in mind to fix this. Braids went awry, but also easily fixed. Anyway, great time and we had a great trooper turnout!
