Sixxgunn13 ESB is DONE! well almost..

HEY Guys,

Well I am finaly done, I only have a few pics for now. I will add detaled pics of my suit now that I can breath.... this was the hardest 2 weeks.

I didn't end up doing the media thing w/Jeremy another member with a prepro suit did it..:( My suit wasn't done for the Friday morning shoot...Hence the lack of updates in my original post.

I was done the Sut JUST before leaving for the Con. my wife had to pry me from the suit to go get ready and I stll had to finish up the RF top.

I DIDN'T even have time to do a test fitting thats how pressed for time I was... So it was ride or die at the con.:eek:
**EDIT I didn't even use stencils for the helmet, all freehand
well except the the straight edges on the kill-stripes.


My wife and bro helped me get suited up and all was going well till I had to but my vest on... Oops no slits cut out for my jet pack harness, luckly a security guy had a pocket knife.(y)
then I had issues with the back plate slots a tad bit to narrow for the make shift rings I made but my bro figured a way to get it to work.

FINAL issue a snap came off the knee plate, thanks to duct tape all was good..

I only wore the suit for 3.5 hrs then I was done, the CON was okay..though I didn't even get to look ant any vendors..:angry
I was stopped every 5-10 feet for pics, It was fun having kids scream out "look its Boba".

I had TONS of complements, I even had children wanting me to sign something cause they thought I was Jeremy:lol:.

Well on to pics...

Here is a pic right after I suited up for the first time!!
WOW flash does washout the weathering.

Me and the other Fett, Pre-pro w/ old MOW gauntlets...man are those suckers huge:eek:
I forgot his name, but he was a great guy and we exchanged notes... great suit!

I did have the Left knee come off after 3+ hrs in the suit. :angry here you can see it below.

Jeremy loved the suit, and we talked a bit, he loves his TDH suit.
My Friend bought me Jeremy's book "Flying Solo"..:cheers

awesome, brother!! seven years, hey thats fast!! :lol: looks like you were rewarded for taking your time....very well done, awesome suit!!
 
FettDad, thx..

Well the title is a bit misleading, I was a member prior to the name change to the TDH.
and just a lurker... then, just last year I decide to start/buy my suit.
10 years ago the stuff offerd was so so and compared to now, not much was known...

New members have it so easy now:D all the research from past and present members make that possible. That's why I decided now was the right time to atempt it...

I did not want to make it and be unsatisfied with the end product..Yes we all do go thru upgrade stages but I was not one to make a suit for the hell of it and constantly upgrade till I was happy..(ya right:lol:)

So in actuality I was only a year and It would have been done sooner if my wife didn't buy me my Vett... Darn summer crusing!!

very nice!:cheers Its a nice feeling to be at that 99% stage:D what was the name of the con? How many people were there? Is it very big?
 
thx, the con is The Manitoba Comic Con, it was our citys First "BIG" con the promoter always did small cons, then last Year David Prowse attended and ppl assumed it was at our citys convetion center( they had to turn away so many ppl), he got word of the misunderstanding and the promoter took the hint... and went big time.

this year we have a few Trek,Smallville guests guests and Jeremy!

Nice, your suit looks sweet, and meeting Jeremy would be awesome. You could pass as Boba though... even with your helmet off, you actually resemble the actor who played Jango lol. Sounds like it was a good time.
 
yeah boy! i told you you could do it. looks good, other than you look really clean, but flash can do that. how does it feel having your maiden voyage out of the way? you've figured out all the parts that still need a little work.

lol, that reminds me i need to finish painting my shin tools details.
 
Looks great! Any whereabouts on the knee?
Thx Andy... The snaps are on the sides of the knee armor, I may swap it for velcro.

Awesome, it looks great!

I would just say you need some weathering, and you will look crazy awesome.

Congrats dude, be proud. :D
THx Dude,
Ya i know i need more weathering, there is some but the flash washed it out.

Thx bro, It feels great to get it done, now it need a few more tweeks and it DONE!

Great suit man, its something to be proud of. I always love when kids ask for autographs, makes me feel important :lol:

Yes is a great feeling that I can light up a kids eye in the costume..:cheers

Haha... Arturo is the best likness. but thx anyways.

Again thx for the complements, I'll post pics tomorrow of the suit parts.
 
nice. looks great. is your sternum piece different than the rest or your armor? and are you epically tall or is deebo27 a little on the shorter side? it seems to work out to your advantage that you are a similar height to MR. Jeremy Bulloch.
 
Yes the color is different for the ESB suits, if you look at movies stills you can see it.
Dee is about 5'3" EDIT* he's.. 5'5".

I'm 6'1"..
