Dude, this is amazing!
I am now inspired to make one this year for my son. I ran it by him and he is stoked! I will bet he will want to customize it though, to make it more "him"
I have a few questions to help me along though!
1.) How did you attach the foam pieces to the clothes?
2.) How long did it take for the paint to dry on the foam?
3.) Was it "tacky" after it was dry?
Again, well done sir! This rocks!

1) Velcro & hot glue. Hot glue hold the velcro to the fabric or you can sew it.
2) Use Latex paint & I would say a good 48 hours to cure.
3) shouldnt be I used spray paint and it's chipping when the foam bends but I was expecting that I was planning on re-doing this Armor from the start as he grows like a weed!
Hope that helps!

Merc's Invade KidsFaire 2009! Solus Keer & Bob'ika from clan Shonare Vhekedla Invade KidsFaire coming in through the back entrance "as any good bounty hunter should" of the Jobing.com arena in Glendale Az. home of the Phoenix Cardinals, They rolled the grass out so the event could be held on the main floor, it was HUGE! There were kids every where being entertained with Camel's, Pony's, Inflatable Slide's & Play Lands, a live stage with the Kids Bop singers, Pirates, Cow Boy's & even a place to mine for gold!
Meeting up with Jango & Collecting our first bounty on Dora & Boot's, We made our way onto the event floor where we were swarmed by Star Wars fans! They couldn't get enough of us we were a big hit. Every kid that saw Bob'ika was so envious and Loved his kit.
When we caught up with everyone @ the booth Bob'ika was stuck on Darth Vader & with the two together it made Me smile thinking this is "just like in the movies!" it was epic. We hung out & took pictures with fans as Solus Keer made kids cry while Bob'ika was putting smiles on Everyone... This was a very exciting event, the 501st, RL & the Merc's all trooped today, we put our costumes on and joined forces to entertain, excite, intrigue, frighten & even stimulate the minds of kid's & Parents alike. I think our future event's with our Vode in these other groups will be something to get involved in!
But every bounty hunter needs some R&R so Bob'ika went and enjoyed the event after a while..

Amazing and my inspiration to make costumes for my boys. Keep it up.
After I do them a Boba I'd like to start on a storm/clone trooper of sorts.
