Finaly after the odd hour here and there, days off from work, RDO's, missing important engagements, surfing the net for blueprints and exact details, endless trips to BUNNINGS and SPOTLIGHT my Boba Fett costume is finaly completed! There are approx. 5 different versions of this costume...... An early production, SW special Edition, ESB, ROTJ and The Holiday special. To give myself more of a challenge I decided on ROTJ version. As the painting sceam is much more heavily detailed then the esb version. I purchased the master replicas blaster and helmet from the states which created some fun at customs!!....Never again!!!... later I built the EE-3 blaster from ESB for another challenge. ill post pics and measurements on how to build this in my first tutorial ...( should be a trip down memory lane). And follow that by the making a real leather utility belt. Ive seen some tutorials from tk 409. he just uses wooden blocks with flaux leather glued to them. So they are not even functional!! And as for me, i work in the city building high rises. Concrete formwork. So ive always got pipe and plastic, wood at my disposal! I still collect figurines and any other limited sw offer, master replica props, sw special edition pinball machine.... lol......so hope this gives you all some insight to my star wars costume building experiance. Anyone else building or planning on building a Fett costume, I would be glad to help with the does or donts!!!

Heeeey welcome Paul.

Great to finally make your way here after our mutual friend got us chatting on FB. Can't wait to see some more of the pics, from what I've already seen, I'm pretty confident in saying the pics will be impressive!
