what'd you take a loan out to get that? Can't wait to see your progress
awsome Wes !!! Your well on your way bro, can't wait to keep an eye on your progress.
BM does some great work doesn't he, clean as a whistle his parts are.
Lookin good
Nice, need help LMK,,, Id get the aluminum shoulder and knee darts. You know youll just spend the money later and its a PAIN to take to old stuff off. Trust me!
no kidding man, did u take out a loan lol!
have fun with it
-=QuinN!
yeah, replacing the darts once you're all built up is a huge pain.Originally Posted by shortimer52
great looking set there. i did everything bit by bit, so i never got to see everything layed out before me like that!
fun times ahead painting that, I got the same armor.
Well, the way I see it. We are constantly spending money to create our "perfect" Fett, so I figured to go ahead and start with the perfect armor.
It bugs when some of these guys complain about not having the money instead of doing something about it. I work a full time job, go to school at night, married and have 2 kids. I do computer work on the side to fund my projects. When you put a little aside every month it doesn't take long to add up to a new set of BM armor.
It is possible, you just need dedication and a little patience.
Your not kidding, DAZ was a Mando blacksmith in another life.:thumbupBM does some great work doesn't he, clean as a whistle his parts are.
Already working on it bro..Id get the aluminum shoulder and knee darts.
Eventually I will get a set of Bobamaker armor but at the moment I'm experimenting with what I have.
Work has begun.
Here is a quick shot of my right plate using Evans armor stencils. He has done a killer job.
This is minus the weathering

Looking very good Delta75!
Looks great! I'll be starting on my brand new set of BM armor myself here shortly!
Lookin good so far! I just broke down today and ordered my armor from DAZ. I got the whole shabang; back, cod, butt, knees, shoulders, chest, and collar. I'm so excited! This 8 weeks is gonna drag on! I wish I would have listened to Rip. I could be wearing it by now.
I forgot to ask you something Delta, how much prep work was necessary before paint?
None at all.
Everything is sanded baby butt smooth and primed for you.
Only thing I did was lay down a base coat of Aluminum because all my scratches are masked.
Looks killer.. Off to a great start Wes
Wes,
glad to hear you are happy with Bobamakers items! I just purchased evrythinghe makes & it does put a "dent" in the wallet, but like you stated " if you want the best than you find a way to pay for it". Daz is doing my paint scheme as well. My wife thinks I'm crazy for the amount that I will totally spend to make my Boba Fett as dead on as it can get! I am also one of the first to purchase his new "jet pack". Let's just say the total amount doesn't come close to what I spent on my first car (1971 VW Karmann Ghia)! But I know it will be worth it when I join the 501st. Will keep you all posted.

That looks great! Now get busy on the other armor
wow wes you are fast!
Thanks guys!!
I have a question, is the neck plate attached to the vest?
I attached mine, but get some more feedback from others here who may have more info on the best way of attaching it. I used snaps / velcro set up
