Discussion on Dressing a Bounty Hunter in 40 Stages - A Black and White Story within the Boba Fett Costume forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; I always liked the various dressing stages of the Supertrooper
I always liked the various dressing stages of the Supertrooper and the Pre-Pro #1 suits found in the TDH Gallery (the Promo #1 armor and vest was added in lack of other sources). So I said, it's time to do a silent step by step 'documentation' (because images worth more than 1000 words) with the dressing of the best Bounty Hunter in the whole galaxy: BOBA FETT.
Ready for bounty hunting!
Have fun!

Awesome! - and extremely informative.
Vote for Sticky!
This is a really great photo collection, it's so interesting to see shots like these! I second the vote for sticky!
Nice compilation Raf! I never saw this before, but in the pic above what the heck is under his arm, directly underneath the shoulder bell?Originally Posted by RafalFett
Awesome collection...another vote for sticky. Thanks Raf!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks! I assume that what you see there is the lower part of the vest, and is accidentally hanging out under the left arm.
Thanks, hobbit!Awesome collection...another vote for sticky. Thanks Raf!
This is a really informative photo. I've haven't seen anyone construct their flight suit quite like this yet (hose eyelets in the back, what looks like adjustable cuffs, built-in neck seal, etc.)
I agree! The whole Supertrooper/Boba Fett suit was made with great care and attention to each and every detail and looking to all the images posted in the first post everyone can see the complexity of the Boba Fett suit.
By the way, thanks for making this thread a 'sticky'!
Congratulations on the sticky Raf! You da man!
Congrats on the sticky mate, what an awesome display of pics for a great thtead!
Thanks a lot!
That's pretty awesome. This is the first time I've seen where those dang hoses go!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Thanks! These are all images from the TDH Gallery and I advise everybody to check it more often, especially when you need reference to build or paint a particular part of the suit.
Absolutely fabulous! I had never seen most of this pictures and an it is a moving testimony of the beginning of the saga
Thanks a lot!
---------------------------------
Moved the following images for continuity:
Stage-03 after stage-01 - The jumpsuit goes first, then the boots! (although there are people who dress that way: first the boots, then the rest of the clothes)
Stage-14 after stage-10 - The left gauntlet was already on the wrist when they showed the right gauntlet.
Stage-27 after stage-28 - The balaclava is first in open position then in closed position (not the other way).
Stage-34 after stage-37 - The balaclava was already attached to the helmet interior.
Stage-38 after stage-21 - When Johnston's assistent (?) shows the cape, there's no helmet put on.
----------------------------------------
Update 11-01-2013
----------------------------------------
Stage-38 after stage-32 and stage-25 after stage-38 - In stage-25 we can see Johnston attaching the cape to the jetpack clip, so the cape show-off (stage-38) should go before that image, but after the image with the grappling hook inserted in the jetpack (stage-32).

Is it known who wore the suits in the test fittings?
In the Supertrooper suit was Alan Harris (the whole suit was build around him, but he played Bossk in the end) and in the Pre-Pro #1 suit (according to the Star Wars Chronicles) was Bruce Nicholson.
Looks like I need to upgrade my jetpack harness with four large square d-rings instead of the plastic clips currently on.
These photos are simply priceless!!!! :O
It's like our holy grail.....
I can't stop looking at these... these pictures are absolutely priceless.
Dang it! Now i wanna upgrade my hoses so they do that through the sleeve thing and attach to the jetpack on those greeblies! More work for the wife when helping suit me up lol :P
The first post was updated with a new image order for the sake of continuity (moved 2 images in other sequence) and for more info check out post #15 with more explanation (post already updated with that info). Sorry for this 'new' arrangement, but it seems that each and every part of the whole suit must be in its natural stage (to avoid stages like putting the helmet or the cape on and after 3-4 images he has them off).
And by the way, thanks for posting the link for this thread on the TDH facebook page (while I'm not a facebook fan and I don't have an account there, I still check out the TDH page for cool updates)!
Great see this!!!!!!!!!! and more in black and white............................fine
Ok this is a stupid question, what belt do the hip pouches go on, the ammo or girth belt? I can't seem to figure it out.
The ammo belt:
Most of the suit variants used this type of pouch with the loop on top; exception was the Pre-Pro #3 and ESB suits (basically the same soft parts), which had an extension with velcro on one side and it was attached to the ammo belt from the inside. The same pouch is present in the AoSW and C-IV exibits, but this time (in lack of the ESB ammo belt?) the pouch is sewn to the girth belt:
The MoM, SWtE and DaG exibits has the looped poches:

So I would put the hip pouches on my ammo belt for my ESB suit?
Under the ammo belt, hold in place with velcro from the inside (just a rough drawing):
No! I was wrong! The belt pouch might be attached with velcro to the back of the ammo pouches:
I have snaps on my ammo belt behind the pouches and i attach the pouches to that. Same idea, just snaps instead of velcro.
Great. Thanks guys, you rock!
You're welcome! We hope to use the FB page to drive more traffic back to the forum here as well as spread Fett love. Thanks for keeping the thread updated!
Such an amazing photo series, really love it ~~
so, it looks like it would be super hard to quickly make a bathroom stop...
Amazing!!
Um, yeah. That's kind of amazing. Great find!
Thanks!
Well, the suit is not bathroom friendly, but is still an amazing setup.
Thanks a lot!Amazing!!
Thanks! All the images are from the TDH Gallery, I only arranged them in the correct sequence.
