    It's been over 6 years in the making and it is absolutely, positively DONE!!! I've thanked so many over the years that redundancy will set in if I go on with the list...it is long so I digress in saying if you did business with me I say THANK YOU for making my dream of having an accurate ESB Boba Fett!!!!

    I need to work on his poses and perhaps mod. the mannequin in a more action pose....I do plan on making another hand so he can hold the rifle.

    On to the pics....don't worry, I'll be taking more as I was just experimenting with lighting and some poses this afternoon...flash and no flash..you'll see.....................

    The MOM tour can only dream of having such an accurate ESB Fett as this!

    Are you trying to hide something in those pics :P

    I&#39;m no expert but it looks movie quality to me. Your SW inspired room seems to be coming along nicely too.

    that is the WORST vader ive ever seen&#33;&#33;&#33;

    WOW&#33;

    for anyone who doesnt understand why someone would rather have an ESB boba... heres why&#33;

    holy wow batman...

    that is the holy grail SW prop that i wont even let myself dream about&#33;

    nice work&#33;

    not to ask something that might cause you to have a breakdown...

    but does the backpack have the accurate ESB lighting?

    either way id say ill never top that&#33; excellent job&#33;

    Sweet Fett suit&#33; And he fits into the room perfectly. The mannequin is pretty good. If you could just get one bend in an elbow, I think you&#39;d be set.

    Thanks for all the kudos guys It has been as much a labor of love as any hobby could be...I&#39;m almost sad he&#39;s done. I wouldn&#39;t let myself assemble everything besides test fits all these years, because of all the upgrades...ie. FP,DS,RA,MC,KKr,BPh,DeO,Nat,MS, just to name a few

    I really want to hack the right arm to put a bend in it, but without doing the left so he can cradle it as in the Executor scene I&#39;m afraid I might not line them up right. I&#39;m thinking of just having the right hand be able to hold the rifle one handed down to his side.

    As for the lighted Jetpack beacon, no it&#39;s just static,....I didn&#39;t get one of the DeanO removeable hollow top ones to put micro electronics in it ie. watch batteries/LED. My Jetpack is a solid, closed back, fiberglass model so I can&#39;t put anything in it as some of the most recent ones to come on the market, but it&#39;s as accurate as I think can be had

    Best,
    Steve

    Congratulations&#33; That&#39;s much further than I have gotten in the 6 years I&#39;ve been working on mine. ESB is the only Fett in my book. -Mark

    Did you check out that flame thrower of yours that it&#39;s sporting bud? Allll aluminum baby....It&#39;s one of my favorite parts of the costume. My right gauntlet darts are yours too.

    The rocket is/was Rogue Studios and is aluminum too....the left gauntlet weighs a good 3lbs. I&#39;ve got enough aluminum and integrated into my suit to build a small airplane....come to think of it....I&#39;ve got enough cash into it to build a small airplane too

    EDIT:.....some new pics tonight&#33;
