We need your help to create two busts for our TDH booth!

I offer my services to paint up the Boba armor if needed.

What versions of Boba for the busts? I could supply a helmet or two if needed. I could also airbrush paints if needed.

I could take care of these for Jango

Chest Armor (Chest, collar, Ab and Shoulder Bells) Leather Ammo Belt

Sorry, forgot the image...

Oh ok, just lifesized Gentle Giants bust's

I can offer a leather ammo belt for boba, I'll buy the good stuff.

I reallly don't like the idea of the Boba being without a Jet Pack
Let me see what i can do to procure one & I will also offer to paint it

if that's ok with you guys
also,
If we do ROTJ, I have a correct Shelterhalf that you can have for the cape
crazy4bobafett won't mind sewing it for me , I'm sure

On the Mini-Bust, yes there is a Jet Pack (jet pack)
But not on the full-size;

Wow... The immediate response is amazing.... but I guess thiskind of response should be expected from this community as you guys have all been so so generous in the past.

In regard to the rocket pack, I wasn't going to include them because I wanted these pieces to be display pieces only and very portable as we would likely be shipping them from con to con. I would love to have the packs, but just don't know how we could make that work but I am totally open to your ideas and suggestions.

I am not entirely sure which version to do. As much as I don't like it myself, the SE combo seems to be the favored variation of the suit, so perhaps that would be the best way to go.

Woops, I missread that! My bad

I have a mystery helmet I can throw out there for anyone to paint. Just tell me where to send it.

DON'T TELL ME I DON'T VISIT THIS BOARD, ART !


BTW- I love your sig...I can't wait to make it mine

l am up for helping in any way that I can. just let me know what work needs to be done, I am up for painting all of the way to building parts from scratch.

I should be able to provide a full Jango helmet and RF for Boba.

I have 2 white girth belts. They are made of nylon though, not mohair. I was gonna throw them up on the boards but if you guys could use them they're yours. I don't have the first clue as to how to dye the nylon, but they are at your disposal non-the-less.

Levi

I'd be happy to provide any decals you'd need for the helmet, chest ,shoulder and JetPack.

You have a very good point.
They do tend to take up a lot of room.


My vote is for SE (even though I'm a purist)
Can I still do the Cape?

Sounds good, and yes, we will still need the cape.

I have gotten quite a few pms about this project as well as the posts here. Please be patient as I sort through them and try to figure out who can do what.

I have 1 mannaquin torso (without head) I'd like to donate for the project. I will check about getting a replacement head for it today.

I got a head, it's a female but you guys can have it

I have a head too and it's male....but you can't have it cause it's my only one.....


I know but if I didn't say it someone else would!

I knew I shouldn't have said it!!

Are you looking for working rangefinder lamps? I can provide one of my boards.

I tried to resist! But seriously this is great! Everyone has a little piece of the puzzle!

Art
I will offer up sewing services. The jumpsuit will be interesting to say the least with no arms and a half torso.... sleeveless? Kinda scary...
But I am in for help where needed. LMK

This is gonna be killer! Meanwhile, I have an idea for the table that I will run past you first Art. Nothing to do with this project, but another way to enhance the table.

Wee haw! You guys (and ladies) are great!

I don't have much to offer except a green face shield for the visor if you want it.

Hey Art,
You know I am in for anything soft

You know I'm gonna have to tease you about that next time I see you.

This really is a great idea. Do we have a supplier for locking plexiglass display cases?

I am all soft, but working on that, LOL

This is a great idea! Don't know if I can offer anything except enthusiasm and support... and a "why isn't Zam even mentioned???" (Ya know I have to tease you on that one! )

Jose...

You never visit the board anymore.

BSG snob.

This is soo cool! I wish I had more experience in prop making/painting... I'd try and help but I doubt I could do anything nearly of quality work as some of you guys... If theres anything I could do ot help? let me know? I really want to start getting involved with TDH more, helping out, going to events, meeting you guys. It's just funds for me are tight being that I just started my ESB Fett heh...

Quick thought on the jet packs... would they be all that bulky? Can't they be made so that the rocket screws off the top? Or maybe only half the jet pack could be made, like from the top of the rocket down to wherever the bust stops. Just kinda thinking outloud heh...

The rockets due come off
and on some maker's versions, they can be stowed inside
The full Jet Pack does not extend past the bust
here's mine in my display room (compared to the GG bust )
You can see the thruster on the left side
which is the lowest point on the Jet Pack

There we go!!!! now all we got to do is get Nate to donate his bust.....project over

Except he's got the wrong helmet. I kid, I kid!

ouch ! that hurts craig....no BSG for you.

I wonder how many TDH's he could hold off from busting down his door

*grabs pitch forks and torches*












j/k

Just a thought on ESB/ROTJ/SE, if it's not going to have the jet pack or arms and thus no gauntlets then isn't the only real choice between which helmet to use. I know the amor is different colors and the bantha skull is different, but to most observers they couldn't tell the difference. What really makes the difference is the multicolor jet pack and the red gauntlets. For me at least, why I like the SE is the combo of the ESB helmet and the multicolor jet pack and red gauntlets.

I have an extra RoTJ color girth belt I can donate if needed.

I think this is an awesome idea. My armor hung out on the 501st table (right side by side with TDH's) last DCon. It brought a lot of interest. Very cool!

I can offer up painting services if needed

Art, you still sefting through pm's to see whatcha got? I can mail those Girth belts out to who ever you need me to to dye them.

I can throw in a Jango backplate once I make my new mold and get caught up on orders. I can also construct the girth belt if we can get ahold of some acceptible bolo.

I can throw in a brown girth-belt for the Boba, plz give me your adress where to send it...

Greetings from Germany,

Florian

Art, please put me down for the Boba Vest, flightsuit,(undersuit) neckseal, pouches.
I can do the Jango vest, but I would make it with a faux leather and the Jango undersuit.


Cheers!
Debbi

Were we still going to do this project?

Depending on the size of the bust I may have some left over grey leather for a Jango vest that Debbi could use to make something worth while out of........??


LMK

Hey ART, I'm in I can donate the visors if no one has. Do you want it to be the original dark green welders faceshield visors? LMK send me a PM...

Hi Art,

I can do the flight suit part or the pouches if you want.

Let me know

Mike

Has this been put on hold? As you know I am up for soft parts as well. Whatever is needed, just let me know. Mike and I can "get er done".

Sorry.. I have been lazy as can be. I am about to be out of the country until Nov, but plan to get on this once I get back!!

Wow, out of the country? Very cool! No hurry, just glad to help when this comes about.

I saw Christie wants to work on this too. Whenever you are ready, just let us all know.

Art, throwing my name in the hat for Boba Helmet painting services...ESB or ROTJ...you pick.

Let me know....soon...busy busy.

wow, what a response!

a super cool idea guys

I offer to stand next to the busts when they are done, so that my ugliness amplifies the greatness of the said busts....

I still got the head man....

just let me know if you want my head

I can offer up armor painting services ESB or ROTJ

Hey Art - I'll gladly provide the Boba Armor and RF pieces ...

A little something I can give back for everything you've done for us

FP
