COMPLETED "4 year old" Shiny Boba Armor, Jet Pack, Gauntlets & "Bucket sculpt"

I have to say you are one of the most creative prop makers i have ever seen online.You are a credit to the Prop community and an even bigger credit to your family.I have 3 sons,but unfortunately neither is a big enough Star Wars fan to warrant me making them a costume-although im still working on my lad Sonny who is only 17 months;)

Top marks for being a great dad aswell as a great prop maker.

Wow, this is amazing, what kind of foam sheets were you using? I dont know that i've seen those at the craft store before, they seem to take the paint pretty well though.

Thank you!

This build has been fun & I'm so very glad I started it when I did! I still have people asking me why did you start so soon? Halloween is so far away... I just sum up the story and say... "I'm not sane"


Foam = Go to camping section find the foam mat you sleep on.. "usually in a Blue roll" Good luck! =)

He wont want to take it off! Will you let him wear it to school, shops.....bed? lol

I will let him wear it when/where ever he wants.. After all this work and how fast he grows he had better destroy it by wearing it out! LOL!


First bucket pull & it's a really good thick cast!

I'm waiting for some Magnet's in the mail then I will assemble this bad boy! Until then I will be painting it.
This is what it looks like on the Kid But since this picture I have trimmed it and will be putting foam inside so it will fit better... Needless to say he loved it!

You are without a doubt the 2nd coolest dad in the world (just trailing mine, of course ;P )

How much time did it take you to sculpt your sons bucket???

It took a week I think... & that's because I had to go to work and take care of My son and do a million other things as well...
