Wes' ESB Fett Build

I've actually talked to Daz about it. I'm sure his holsters are phenomenal I'm just having a hard time paying the same amount the sidearm costs. This is the only thing I'm not liking about the ESB. I just wish it wasn't so rare!

I hear you there man. The sidearm and holster pushes me towards ROTJ/SE more than anything. Its ridiculous how much the two are together. Great build so far btw
 
Mini text update: Ordering MOW boots and dark-side's jetpack upgrades. Also hoping to get a BBF belt sometime next month...stay tuned..
 
BBF's belts are just awesome. I got my ROTJ/SE belt a couple weeks ago and shed a few tears of joy when I pulled it out of the box. Your build is looking great! Looking forward to how it progresses.
 
Thank you guys!

So I started to scratch build the sidearm today. I found a great Nerf gun from Walmart and some greeblies from Home Depot. I plan on correcting the handle's shape, adding the grip texture and then getting the angle before I continue with the rest. I might even Rub n Buff the pipe. Not sure yet.

What do you guys think?

Incase you guys didn't see my showoff thread, I picked up a real nemrod holster and US dive buckle for $85.

Also, my gauntlets will be finished this weekend. Stay tuned :)
 
Where do you guys find real parts like that for that price? Whenever I look for a nemrod or pulce, I get nothing or on rare occasion I actually find one, its way out of my price range.

I was just browsing different Craigslists in my state looking for "spear gun" and came across this beaut.
 
Here are a couple of shots of what I have so far. Gauntlets will be finished in a couple weeks. Really need to get some MOW boots and a BBF belt sometime next month when funds allow it.

Very nice Wes! Man you can go wrong with MOW boots and BBF belt, I have both and love them. That BBF is amazing!
 
Thank you guys!

Here's a side by side comparison of what I have so far (minus the armor that's on it's way, the Jetpack that I need a harness for, and the real Nemrod holster). I plan on hitting my left leg some more and I need to weather the vest too. Let me know what you think!

What colour is that on the gauntlets? It looks a bit too dark, if you look at the comparison pic the gauntlets are a lighter green
Than on the helmet dome and cheeks yet your gaunts are darker, other than that I think its going great.
 
To be honest, I don't know exactly. My painting is being commissioned. I'll find out.

But if you look at the reference, the Gauntlets on the original fett do in fact match the dome just as mine do. At least, that's my opinion.
