Mini T-bone part ??

Ok this is it, I am taking the plunge! I have never worn, made nor painted any costume before, but seeing what you guys have done here at TDH got me the bug. But I will be starting small, as in my 8 year old son small. Have been lurking around for months, and getting mando stuff from members here, but never really doing any actual costuming. So..... here it is, I need your expert opinion on my first attempt on the helmet and jp. Have not touched the ears, nor the kill stripes yet.....work in progress. Much thanks to all, specially to T-Bone, TK2280, Devilstar2k2 and Cruzer for equipment and advise. Now if somebody can point me in direction of getiing mini-softparts, would really appreciate it.

Thank you for the kind replies. Thanks Cruzer, I did try SGB but currently he is tied up, maybe Bleah, but I might get an Aunt to do it for him. Here is what I have done so far this weekend. I am still contemplating on how to attach the T-visor (screw or hot glue ???) and how to weather the bucket., any advise?..... Next is the armor from TK2280 that I made dents on, but I definitely need to get him a proper ROTJ suit.

Here is the latest installment. So instead of installing the battery and reciever in the helmet with the servo, I installed it to the jet pack. Also I am halfway in completing the gauntlets. Its hard to match the works of the master :thumbup , (hint hint Cruzer) but me and my son we try. We are trying to finish it so that he can wear it for about 15 minutes (in Florida weather ) at Disney's MGM Star Wars weekends. it is about 90% complete. BTW this thread is getting more than just the helmet....so MODS.. can you please move this to the Sarlacc Pit. Thanks.

Cruzer,
I looked at your mini-gauntlet threads and pretty much follwed it. I had to improvise on the hinges from the Big Orange store, since I wanted it to be on both sides. I am definitely adding foam on the inside so that it will grab his arm. As for the flame thrower and ripcord, I was planning on placing screws and bolts, so that I can remove them at will.

I used a futuba servo micro extension cord, the servo is in the helmet, but the battery and reciever is in the JP. I will post the pics after work tomorrow, when there is sunlight, somehow flash photography does not come out right, for inside the helmet shots.

One mini rocket and Boba flamethrower coming your way today! You'll be getting the first resin pull of the rocket!

First trooping at Disney MGM !

Sgt. Skirata, I got the gun from an old Fett child kit. I saw a sample on E-store exactly like this.....

As for the rocket missle, it is made up of florist styrofoam. I got from a craft store, it is the cone shaped one used for christmas decor or floral arrangment, I simply chopped off the pointed tips, glued 2 together and shaped with exacto knife. It needed to be light, with all the costume and gear it takes a toll on the younglings.

BTW, show pics of Jodo Kast and or Fett when you are done, me and my son would appreciate it, we are still procrastinating on what he will be this halloween.

Hello Jedi.Paramedic,

4. Wookie braids are fake hair extensions from local hair salon store
5. We fabricated/sew the vest, spats and neck seal.

My son and I are doing another project at the moment. If you are interested in his suit please send me a PM.
