Hi Guys,
I haven been in this site for a long while. But I'd like to share my build of my sons Fett costume. I miss posting a Fett build..lol.

Anyways here are a few pics of my progress, I used templates to build then re-traced it all on illustrator and scaled till it was the right size.
I'm using 1/2" foam for the armor, I wanted to use sintra but I decided on foam for safety reasons.

I won't go too detailed as there are so many things you all know already.

cheers

I'm making Jango Fett for my son. I don't think it's going to look like a 501st approved one, but he's impressed with it so far. He'll also have it for Halloween and a comico coming up. I'm not so good at the jetpack stuff and cheated with a Fett backpack for kids. I'll post a picture when I finish it.

As for your Boba, I like what you've done so far.

Looks really nice...I need to get started on my son's armor. What kind of foam stock did you use?

Thx Guys,

Silvermitt, can't wait to see your build.

ToEleven, I just used Foam mat, the king you get at Wal-Mart.

So far I've sealed the foam with Mod Podge and will start working on knee and gaunts this week.Will be posting pics once I have a good chunk of those done.
Cheers

Really awesome. I can't believe the devotion you guys give to costumes which will be outgrown.

Wow....I would have loved to be a kid walking around in those costumes. I know I would have gotten yelled out for never wanting to take it off.

Wish I had seen this before! I knew there was something that I should have done. Mod Podge the foam. I also made my son's costume and am looking forward to a real build now.
