ROTJ SE Edition by Madmartigan -FINAL PICS!!!!

Now that I got my FPH back from Eric and my Sidewinder EE-3, I have only very minor tweaks to do to the boots (going to change my toe spikes and lighten them with some more "dusty" tones) and the shin tool pockets. And I think I'm ready to unveil the final version....

...and the back:

These are the photos I'm submitting for 501st approval, so wish me luck!

The biggest challenge now is actually GETTING INTO the damned thing. Mostly it's because I can't figure out an easy way to get the harness on along with the vest and backplate and still have the jet pack rings come through the proper slots. My wife helped me into it today and can do so at Halloween, but I better figure out a better dressing method before Fan Days 2!!

Unless anyone wants to come over to the hotel and help each other!! :D

Look forward to your feedback and seeing all of you soon!

After moving the shin tool pockets down a couple of inches and a little more weathering (gbeef inspired...), I suited up for Halloween. Not as much fun as I hoped since the trick-or-treaters were not out in force this year. But there were a few amusing moments -- like when I walked over and knocked on my neighbors' door. Their dog, Chewie, still recognized me. Of course, Chewie would! :D

Fett's now safely ensconced in my office, watching my back for anyone who would disturb me through the doorway. I had to make an articulated right hand from the original mannequin hand, some epoxy, doubled over coat hangers, and duct tape to hold the gun this weekend. But I think it turned out really well:

Then I had to shift him somewhat from the original position I put him in, since the EE-3 was pointing directly at my head when I was sitting at my desk, and that was just too disturbing for the wife to bear. I, personally, found it amusing, and took it one step further before moving him:

Still would like to upgrade the braids someday and if reinone does indeed make new Fett boots or a pair of Cheng's pops up in my size, I might upgrade those too.

Time to move on to a TK! :D

Coming from you, that means a lot, Alex! (y)

Again -- great to meet you! When do we get to see more pictures of your little one?? How was Halloween? And you still have Philip's party coming up, right?

One of the best Fetts I've seen in a very long time... looks great on you Chris.(y)

Hmm...I don't see it. Your pictures look great to me. And your shin tool pockets are below the knees, which is what I needed to fix. (y)

But I still can't get over your signature line. I don't know why...maybe because I still, childishly, get into scatalogical humor. Occasionally, I see it and my eyes play tricks on me so that I want to read:

"Waiting with excrement on my vest!" :lol:

Yes....I'm 8 years old.
