Boba fett costume

[matthewr7935]

Hi everyone just thought I would share the start of my boba fett costume using card stock and pepukara I will be adding updates on this so far as you can see in the pics I finished the chest and the two knee pieces I'm going to finish it soon but I'm working on war machine but need a break on that soon so I will start this again

I always like to see a Boba Fett costume, but I say stop! To my understanding, you're working on a War Machine helmet/costume too. I think you should focus on one project at a time and really follow through on it. I speak from experience when I'm talking about this. Plenty of projects that I've "taken a break" on have become abandoned and thrown away. I understand that losing interest/motivation can be a real roadblock, but if you stick with it, you will definitely be pleased in the end. This is just my piece of advice, but I wish you the best of luck to the projects that you chose to undertake!

having built 4 boba fett costumes, of varying varieties, id really really say not to do it the papercraft way except the helmet, so much time wasted on flat parts that can easily be made from eva foam, or even plastic if you can get your hands on it.

Yea man, you're wasting your time, especially if you're working on a War Machine. Sintra. It's pretty cheap. Molds with heat. (Thedentedhelmet.com) They have templates for it, it would take an hr tops with the right tools to get the basic armor. Minus the helmet and gauntlets.

I've hade a look on the dented helmet and I can not find foam templates but I fiber glassed the chest today and it turned out ok

I didn't mean to sound like it would come out bad, I was merely trying to save you time. Apologies if it sounded like that. But here's the templates All Boba Fett Armor Stencils and Templates
