New Hunter
well i've been checking TDH for about two weeks now and trying to learn things so its easier when i jumped in... i saw the trash can armor and tried it, it looked great, i'm working on the backplate but i have a few question on other parts. Sry i forgot to mention im a boba fett costume maker and and its my first one, and im really excited because the helmet and EE-33 carbine look good. but here are my questions...

Like the vest, what is it made of because it'll be cheaper for me to make it.

The gauntlets and jet pack are a larger problem, is there a good template to go off of if using sintra?

and lastly, whats the best way to make a ROTJ cape?

any input is extremely appreciated
