And so it begins ! ESB Fett

Hi guys ! :)

I'm totally new here and I'm a big fan of Boba Fett as you :)
I wanted to know where did you purchased the items for the jetpack, the armor parts, etc ... ?
Is it difficult to create your own Boba Fett fan made costume ? Is it expensive ?
Thank you for your answers :)

Alex :D

This is a little dated but essentially gives you a pretty good picture of what it might involve. Just search around the board and you will find all the answers you need.

Re painted everything again using color codes from DVH , armor and jet pack need to be weathered a bit more and jetpack needs the details painted on but I'm a lot more happy with it now
 
So I ended up selling my ANIMEFAN helmet (nothing wrong with it at all) a little while ago because it was quite heavy being solid cold cast resin and me liking to do 4+ hour troops and I was going to overhaul all of my armor so I ordered a DVH helmet then un foreseen hand issues arose (horrid thing to happen we all hope you get well Lou) so this put me at a place with finished armor and no helmet. I was in the cargo hold every day and saw a little Jen pop up .... It's not the most accurate and it's a little tight getting on but over all for the price I can't complain and with having tons of humbrol laying around I figure I can pick it up re paint some of it use it for a while till DVH is back up and good again then either help out a new fett looking for a helmet at a decent price or I'll have a nice display piece for the house ! Here is the re paint up ? of my slightly used new to me helmet

Not 100% perfect but I'm a lot happier with the colors and the way it turned out for only spending a day and using rattle cans ! I have a troop tonight otherwise I'd do the red bits next but that's coming soon !
 
Helmet didn't have the correct topper or clear pieces so I decided to mold my own ! Looking for a better faster curing clear resin , 24 hour cure time is crazy ! But they came out pretty dope !

Spent the last day playing with clear resin and found some good stuff got 3 toppers cast and sanded down have some slight imperfections no big deal and one in the mold hardening , used smooth on onyx fast for the toppers also have 3 full sets of clear bits done and drilled also have one large bit and the small bit hardening in the mold . Went to tap plastics (plastic store in California) and got some clear casting resin , cures in about 2-3 hours to the point I can de mold it and it's not jelly . I have three helmets on the way that needed toppers so might as well make my own ! Thank you RafalFett for the amazing 3D parts ! If there is an issue by almeans let me know and I'll stop immediately or I'll pay you royalties or whatever you'd like ! image.jpeg

There's no problem if you downloaded one (or more) of my free models and use it for your personal build. Keep up the excellent work!
