    Seeker's ESB & Pre-Pro 3 Armor Build Up.

    It's time to finish this Boba Fett armor. It's been about 10 years since I started collecting parts. I've waited long enough. I'm borrowing the GMH from "As You Wish Helmet Project" helmet for pictures for now.

    It looks like 2012 will finally be the year.

    This is where you will finda ALL build pics.

    Now this will be one (or two) awesome work(s)! Those that has in work or want to start working on something similar may pay a lot of attention to these build.

    I don't know if you will use the stencils or not (just reference images), but if you want to use the ESB armor stencils, then you might want to wait a couple of days, because I'm working on some major fixes, especially on the collar and the abdominal plates.

    That is no T-visor! It's the untrimmed extra material painted in black with the FP logo on it.

    Thanks Rafal! I'm not in the position to paint anytime time soon. I need to make sure I have everything built first.

    I'm definetely looking forward to your updates. You have done an amazing job for this board. Thank you.

    Very nice indeed. One point (I'm sure you noticed though), there are no dents in the chest and collar armour.

    When you pin the wookie braids on, use the safety pin from underneath inside of the vest. It won't show any more than it needs to on the outside then.

    Wow. That collar attaching method is awesome. As someone who has a miniscule amount of experience in that kind of thing. What did you use and how did you make it so I could give it a go?

    Awesome! Simply awesome!

    I had considered doing something similar, but just a shoulders up display PP3--along the lines of what the Sideshow bust should have been but wasn't . . .
