There we go, man! Looks fantastic...except for the ROTJ part ;). How does it feel to have it all on? Is it pretty comfortable?

Freaking killer job dude!! Especially in the time you had to paint it ;) I absolutely love the paint job, the weathering is superb.
This is easily one of the best and one of my favourite ROTJ Boba's on the board..

Oh well...guess I'll start over ;)

I'll be honest, it's going to take some time to learn how to pose properly. The gauntlets are a bit awkward to hold the blaster properly, and I didn't really get a good shot of me using the flamethrower (angle was too weird). Overall, it's quite warm....but that's expected. It took 30 minutes or so to suit up, hopefully we can shave that down. It was a lot of "what should go on next" kinda deal, especially when working with electronics, etc. While they aren't shown in the pictures really, I wanted to test and see if they all worked properly. I have to patch up the velcro on my ammo belt as that has already started to come off. I have to do some more sewing that's for sure.

Walking around ...don't really know. We have a small apartment but from what I walked, it was pretty comfy. The harness definitely was worth it. I'll know more after the first troop of x amount of hours. I was in the suit approximately 2 hours....after the first little bit, you get used to it. I'll do one more suit up before fan expo to make sure everything is nice and snug.

Absolutely outstanding work, Aaron!

I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I think this:

looks more like this:

than this does:

No offense to Oscar, of course (I've got a photo of his printed and hanging in my workspace). But dang, Aaron. Truly a work of art!

What did you wind up doing to fix the sagging of the lower legs and shin tool pouches?

The knee armor helps a lot. I put Velcro on the knees as well as made the elastic nice and tight. Seemed to work fine. I also put a small piece of Velcro on the back of the shin tools to keep them up.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

Best of luck with your approval, Justin. I'm thinking of heading down there for some sightseeing and vacationing over my summer holidays. Maybe a joint troop or appearance? Cheers!

Top notch kit!!!! depending on your GML, the only issue i see is that your chin is visible. A cream colored balaclava would fix that.

Ya, that's what I get for growing a beard. Might have to trim the hedge a little bit. When I install the chin cup, the helmet should look better on my head. I have a black neoprene balaclava but didn't think to wear it for the photos.

Brett: Who's justin? ;) let me know when you're in the area! We've got lots of awesome micro brews here!
