My ESB Boba Fett finally done!

[kalkamel]

I painted my ESB helmet back in 2007 and since then have been slowly gathering stuff to complete my ESB Fett. I started building in November and have finally managed to put everything together. Suited up the for the first time tonight and got my wife to take some pics:

Painting and weathering was done by yours truly with rattlecans and acrylics. Here's a list of the components:

SgtFang Mystery helmet (with BKBT stalk)
Fettpride armor
Evolution jetpack repainted beautifully by tecnoninja
Fiberglass gauntlets from little-monkey2007 from Ebay
Skygyunbro flightsuit
Batninja vest and neckseal
Woodman braids, cape and shin tools
Scratchbuilt girth belt and leather ammo belt/pouches
Side pouches from a TDH member
Evolution boots and gloves

The blaster is a mixture of different components. The Webley barrel was Sidewinder's, the stock by Woodman, the stock bracket and trigger/grip assembly was scratchbuilt by me and Fettdad from TDH helped me out with the rest of the blaster components. I got pointers for the paintjob from Spideyfett (who painted the amazing blaster for the Rebelscum Fett display). The sling was also done by me.

The sidearm was modded from a toy laser gun (I added a longer barrel and painted it like the screen used one). Looks nothing like the Pulce but since its holstered I figured it would suffice. I also made the holster myself. I do hope to upgrade to one of Mojo Fett's kits and an FP holster some day.

I've been trooping as ANH Vader for the past 3 years so I'm really looking forward to troop as ESB Fett as soon as I get the opportunity. At least I don't have to put up with the heavy fiberglass armor/helmet anymore! :lol

Thanks, guys! This is the most difficult costume I've ever had to make considering all the various different components and finally seeing them all pieced together definitely makes it worth all the time and effort.

Congratulations on finishing your Boba Fett costume. You did a really awesome job.

 

[MooCriket]

Congrats on not just finishing your Fett, but finishing a masterful work of artthumbsup Your Fett looks awesome and appears to be straight from the set. No easy task, and certainly a very expensive investmentcool

Thanks, guys! We had a major toy fair over the weekend and I debuted my ESB Boba with the 501st Legion Malaysia-Brunei Outpost! The costume was put through the torture test for the 2 day event and while there are some fair wear and tear (which surprisingly adds to the weathering), there's no real damage, thank the Maker. :lol Special thanks also to my "support crew" which consisted of Mr. Engineer and Saberfreak!

Here are some pics of me at the event:

I also took the opportunity to debut another project which I built together with my ESB Fett, namely.... an ROTJ Fett for my wife! I built both Fetts concurrently but while my ESB is made up of parts from different makers, the ROTJ was mostly scratchbuilt. The helmet, armor, jetpack and shin tools were all made using the WOF templates available at TDH. The gauntlets were from little-monkey2007 and the boots were modded from a pair of leather ankle boots. I added lifts to the boots so in costume, she's about 5'9". The blaster was also scratchbuilt.

Here are some pics of her in costume at the event:

It was a blast for us to showcase our new costumes at the event. Can't wait for the next one!
