    Brak's Buddy Shoots My Jango

    Well, it's been three years since I have worn my suit and since Brak's took photos. I finally had the pleasure of wearing my suit and having him take pics once again! We literally just finished shooting and here are some of my favs of what we have along with some comparisons that show how far I've come with my suit and how far Brak's has come with his photography. There are so many people to thank for helping me in my suit that I won't even attempt to name them for fear of leaving someone out but you know who you are and you have my gratitude. I still have more upgrades it would seem thanks to new FP goodies so I will probably be doing this again next year. Ok, on with the pics!!!

    I akways thought your first set looked great but your V2 looks great and Braks photography really compliments the costume even further.

    Killer outfit and some really great photos !

    Was hoping to see you in your Jango live at DC
    Always next year.

    If I get my Boba done before DC next year I might have to bribe Brak to take a couple photos seeing how we live in the same town

    Awesome!!!

    The number of incredible Jangos is growing at an alarming rate

    You should bring your new suit along when you do another shoot here. We ought do a clone thing.

    Kristen, awesome pictures! I was lucky enough to catch you in front of the 501st table in your Jango and took these two shots:





    Your upgrades are AWESOME! Well done!

    It's like looking at TV's at the mall ... by themselves they are both fantastic costumes, but side by side your upgrade is clearly superior and incredible work.

    Well done !!

    i'm just now starting to study up on jango stuff so i can't pick out the details easily (yet!)... i never would have thought anything bad about the 2003 one, but the 2006 one is a HUGE difference!

    WOW Kristen !!!!

    The new suit looks FANTASTIC !!!!! I was wondering whatever happened to it, as I hadn't seen you in it in a while. You really shouldn't let that one be a dust collector

    Beautiful Suit !!!

    Wow... my suit sucks, that is AMAZING! I remember seeing your suit as one of the first fan Jango's I'd ever seen and thinking it was dead accurate (The 2003 verison). Heck, your site may have been the one to bring me to TDH 2 years or so back! Amazing work, as always, keep it up!

    Incredible Jango suit! Very impressive. Please don't be offended, but you pull off the Jango look & confidence of the character that I would never guess there was a woman behind the mask! My hat goes off to you Kristen.

    Honestly, that is probably the best compliment someone could give me being a girl trying to pull of Jango. It is really the biggest challenge I think for me to not look like pre-pro Fett

    Thank you to everyone for all of the kind words and thank you to Brak's for taking amazing pictures. I know he is very modest but you can have an amazing suit but without someone with a keen eye to capture it well, it will never look it's best.

    As for what all is new-
    Helmet is from GINO and is based off a DP deluxe
    Gauntlets- FP fiberglass- I believe his most recent before the newest ones
    Jumpsuit and Vest- Turo's seamstresses but dyed by me on the jumpsuit
    Boots- Reinone
    Chest and boot armor- Turo- but trimmed down quite a bit to fit me
    Ammo belt- made, stained, and weathered by me, pieces from Turo
    Guns- MR
    Leg armor- me
    Knees- BKBT
    I think that is everything.

    The only thing I think that will make this suit any better is weathering the jumpsuit some and a new helmet and gauntlets from FP

    Again, thank you to everyone!!!

    Pre-pro Fett poses are quite feminine looking.

    WOW The 2003 suit was an impression that I could make my own fett. I got a few pics on a bootleg disc form a friend. The pic were from your site. I now have a scout trooper, a ESB fett and a skirata. All this in 6 months. IF I have them come half as far as yours in three years I will be ecstatic. The jango upgrades are so kandosii.

    Great improvements to an already very nice suit. Everything seems to be sized perfect to your frame, something that many neglect to do. I love it! The pictures are super sweet as well. Thanks for sharing the pictures Mirax. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person someday soon.
