holy ****, it's done!
my friends are going to **** themselves when they see it. it's nowhere near the quality that you guys crank out, but thanks to all the templates and tips here, it ain't a pile of **** either! okay, the jetpack is pretty **** because I had to do that in a super hurry.
I can't believe that I got as much done as I did, with almost zero tools, no workshop, no help, spray painting in a room with beige carpets (eep!). I'm especially proud of my trashcan shoulder bells. But you'll see! The whole thing looks nothing like the inspiration, but it's definitely Boba, and you can definitely tell it's a girl under there.
Pictures soon! I'll have someone to do it for me tomorrow or Saturday and post ASAP. It's a bit cumbersome to do the mirror-shot stuff myself while wearing all that stuff, so my photographer friend is gonna help me out, thankfully!
Today I finished the top so it was the first time I put the gear on. You should have heard the giggles!
