501st Approved! BH-6238

I've reached a huge milestone in my Boba costuming journey today. My 501st approval has come through and I'm now an official member of the Legion. I've been working on this armor for almost three years now, on and off, and it's a great feeling to finally have reached this point. As everyone knows, a Fett is never really "done" and I've already made alterations and improvements since these shots, but this is the costume as it was submitted. Thanks to all the members here who have helped me or offered encouragement along the way. Thanks to the builders, seamsters, and painters on TDH who have had a hand in this project, and finally thank you to all of those who have contributed their time to make the amazing resources on this site. Without TDH, this would never have happend.

Looks great man! Congrats!

Congrats for the approval!

grats!, this makes me not wanting to sell mine :(

Congratulations, great job!

Thanks so much for the love guys :)

well done!:thumbsup

Congratulations! Great looking suit

Congrats!

Looks awsome! I hate to be that guy (since you're 501st and all), but the side cape seems so clean compared to the soft parts (the jumpsuit and everything else looks super dirty, but other than the physical weathering of the side cape, it has no dirt).

Other than that though, it looks fantastic! I hope my Fett will look that good one day!

Thanks for the feedback. I don't mind at all. :) I received it weathered some from the maker and haven't altered it. I'm considering cleaning up the vest some since it seems a bit over done but I'll probably give the cape a little treatment too when I have the time.

Congrats and nice work.

looks real good, enjoy it , well done

Very good sir! :fettesb

Congratulations bro, welcome to the BH hell!!!!! nice Boba costume great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! Great to hear that. Nice looking Fett you have there. Love the grimy look. Great job! :) Feel hi5ed.

Congrats! I'm jealous! I just started my first Boba last Dec. and am looking forwards to eventually becoming a 501st member. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! Looking good!

Congrats! That's a great looking ESB Fett! I know your proud!

Grats on the approval!

Thanks for your continued kindness everyone! As we all say, Fett is never finished and quite a few upgrades are underway or near complete for me. Some of these parts will be popping up in the Cargo Hold over the next few weeks :)

Awesome! Amazing job on your build!
