    Boba 4.0

    Well, after a few years of constanly upgrading, I am near completion of my 4.0 upgrades.



    All that is left to fix is the belt pouches, sidearm, and a new blaster.

    Very nice brother! Looks awesome. My only suggestion would be to add a little orange to the right shoulder armor. Just my opinion. Seriously though, top notch.

    I knew I forgot something...

    Anywho, I may add the orange very soon to that.

    Also, forgot to list the stuff.

    Helmet: BobaMaker, painted by him
    Armor: MLC(Chest, back, shoulder, knees, cod, and butt)
    Jet Pack: MLC
    Gauntlets: MOW
    Jumpsuit: BobaMaker
    Blaster: Homemade with flashcell
    Boots: Caboots
    Vest: Batninja
    Gloves: Realgloves
    Toe spikes and Gaunt darts: Russrep
    Shin tools: Unknown
    Girth: Crazy4boba
    Ammo: Unknown
    Cape: Unknown
    Wookie braids: Fetthunter

    It has come a long way since I made the ugly version 1 back in 05...and $4200 later...soon it will be complete enough for me!

    Very nice! Would love to see some comparisons to your previous versions. That's always fun to see how far you've come.

    Tell ya what, tonight when I get home, I will upload some for comparisons. Naturally I don't have them loaded on photobucket. But fear not, I will do so! But I cannot be held responsible for the burning retinas...

    Great ESB !!! I agree, sooner or later one has to draw a line in the sand with how much money to spend on one costume. Looks great and as was said the only thing would be to add the touches of orange to the right shoulder (and knees ) and the ankle straps.

    Re: Boba 4.0

    Ok, here we go...don't say I didn't warn ya!!!

    Version 1...



    Rubies helmet, sheet metal armor, tshirt for vest, blaster homemade, regular pants, long sleeve dress shirt, and blue nikes!

    Version 2...



    A lil better looking, Plastic bucket for armor, Rubies helmet, bunch a random made stuff.

    Version 3...



    Mostly MLC stuff, unknown gauntlets, looks like a larger set of Ruffkins, homemade boots, homemade blaster, random jumpsuit, a unknown vest. Cape, belts, gloves are the same as I still use.

    So that was the way it went from the start to now.

    Re: Boba 4.0

    Lookin' good man! As above, I would add some orange, get those ankle ties rockin' and swap out the pouches! Otherwise, great lookin' ESB!!

    On your version 3, I'm diggin' the homemade boots! Great work!

    New belt pouches, and ankle straps added! Final steps of the blasters is underway!



    Do forgive for some of the sagging, it was a walk event, I wasn't tightening stuff down so much.

    Hey Satxor,
    Your upgrades look great. The first photo kinda reminds me of the Pre Pro Fett photo. Not the suit but the stance.

    Looks great!!! WOW! what a difference from V1.
    One tiny suggestion... I would suggest you move your shoulder bells up on the sleeve cap just a tiny bit.
    I am jealous...

    Re: Boba 4.0

    I do thank everyone for the nice comments. I admit somethings are a little off here and there. I think the issue with the shoulders is that they don't fit over my arm properly because they are too curved. I may just have to heat them up and spread them apart.

    Last weekend I actually got working on a new harness as well as Coyote. We now have a more reasonably accurate harness setup, which I can take pics of later. Similar in ways of ESB with the Square Drings, like the ones taco is selling. Except, the parts that are mounted on the pack are belt clips, like the ones you find on the back of tape measures. The system is pretty decent, makes it incredibly easy to put on and take off, but won't get accidently torn off.
