Danakin245 ESB WIP

Good job so far.

Love the weathering on the jumpsuit.

thanks! I've never done fabric weathering before so it was just kinda luck haha.

Also I'm 5"10 and pretty lean, so around Jeremy size any ways what armor would be best? RKD looks nice but his is based off WOFs "Large" templates maybe fettpride?

IMHO the color of cucblacks ESB suit is wrong...might want to take a look at reference pics he uses a grey not a blue

Nice looking items! For armor I'd try to go for the smaller looking armor such as the new v4 armor from fettpride or some BM armor.

Also I think shortening up the vest is in order...like an inch or two...should be above the belly button ish. Maybe take it to a taylor after you get your armor peices, that way you can see how much you can take off, and not have the armor bunched up or to spaced out.

I know what you mean I felt that way too, but it does seem that in some pics it is a greyish color but I am happy anyways

I will look into shortening it once I buy armor, I'm just concerned on which to purchase I think RKD will fit but it will look goofy, I heard fettpride V3 is smaller, how big is boba maker?

Liking the jumpsuit cant wait to see some armour on it! Also nice vault boy suit!

Bobamaker fits me well I'm 5'6 about a 33inch chest I'm a small guy here's what my kit looks like

Agreed. My armor would definitely be too large for you

I liked RKD armour, but I am too short 5"7, having to make my own at the moment!

thanks for the input, anyone know the size of cucblacks armor is?

Little update, I purchased Lucksy31 chest/shoulder decals also i bought a set of tk2280 armor with his vaccuformed knees. I will use a heat gun to form the damage so this will be interesting... When it arrives I will post pics.
I have been working on my sidearm which is a Nintendo zapper modified and I received my fettronics light set which I love!!!!

that's funny, i was looking at a nintendo zapper the other day and i thought it looked a boba fett sidearm.

Yeah! I was thinking of getting a cast of the spear gun for accuracy but this was cheaper and let me have a little fun!!

Nice job so far. I agree that the jumpsuit should be more blueish. Get yourself some RIT evening blue dye, and just dye over the grey, that should work perfect and not hard to do. I dyed mine in my kitchen sink! You may have to get the dye online...that color supposedly was discontinued, but it seems some online stores, and e-bay still have it.

Funny cuz the Nintendo zappers were used alot back in the day as Fetts sidearm, before it was known what it was. I was actually going to use one when i was doing a custom Mando...but then i just canned the idea of the custom....why do a custom when i have Boba Fett? lol

thanks! I heard RIT won't work on this fabric cause it's gabardine i think atleast. It's the same material as a dickies jump suit and I read that they don't dye well otherwise I will deffinatly jump on dying it! and I was almost about to buy a spear gun cast but I figured since no one sees it why spend the money for my first build and like I said I get to be a little creative and have a little fun haha

Also I purchased a set of armor from TK2280 with his vaccuformed knees about 3 weeks ago and hopefully will be in soon!!I know they are just sintra with no dents or anything but I've seen guys make very accurate stuff with just sintra so with a little time and a heat gun I hope I can get some good armor out of it. I also purchased a set of gauntlets from little-monkey2007 from ebay, I was hesitant at first but I found a couple threads here that were only good reviews. they just need alot of work but thats fine with me I'm not expecting those for a little while. Also I bought RKDs knee darts and gauntlet darts and DVH keypad!!! so all that is left majorly is shin tools and jet pack!! Can't wait to get the armor and start posting more pics!!! thanks for the input and viewing guys!!!

just got me decals in the mail from lucksy31 awesome!

Just another small update, I recieved my knee and gauntlet darts from RKD today! looks great cant wait till i recieve my armor and gauntlets soon hopefully! Just curious but has anyone used tk2280 armor for a fett? I know he makes them for cutom mandos but I'm curious ha thanks guys! hope to update again soon!

Amazing Work!

thanks!! I think its turning out real good! hope I can work magic with the armor and gauntlets! kinda sketch!

I like where this is going. You have a great physique for the costume.

Also, pat yourself on the back for not starting with the helmet. I don't know how you managed to do that. Impressive willpower.

well actually the first piece I bought was an asok back in january haha But i may get another If i have time cause it kinda warped and stuff

Gauntlets came in today!!!!!! real rough shape but alot of patience should fix that!
1. the rocket is a little warped, could I use a heat gun to fix that?
2. How do I know which clams go together?
I'm glad I bought these, they are actually pretty decent I have a DVH MQ1 pad and they are the same size so the greeblies are scale and they are overall very good minus the major clean up. I want people to know this is a good cheaper kit as I was someone who wanted something cheaper than MOW though the detail is not as good IE the flame thrower.

little update while I wait for my armor, I made a mannequinn needs a little more work but it's something!!!

Also the gauntlets have been A LOT of work getting to the meet flush and what not but they are getting there

Looking good

update, major work on the gauntlets is done!!!!!! ooorah! they line up perfect and with some foam will fit snug. whats left is to buy a rocket, build a flame thrower and fix the control unit cause it broke :-I but they have come along way. all the armor I have is mounted to the vest I will post pics of that as well. and the random picture shows how warped the gauntlets really were and how much bondo was needed for that one side. thanks for the feedback fellas

Made progress on the guantlets! I have both shells attached with hinges! I just need to finish the flamethrower and attach the greeblies and foam lining!! Took ALLOT of work but im happy

Been a while since my last update, I've been busy working on my jet pack and painting heres a little progress update let me know what you guys think and thanks!!

Your damage is to large you need to scale it back a little...on the armor...

Been a while.. finished up the suit mere hours before C2E2 but i'm very happy!!! thanks for all the support guys! Unfortunatly my range finder broke off walking into the con :P se la vi I guess ha
