    Re: Dutch Jango on its way

    First test fit of the parts I have so far.

    Front: harnas needs to be made smaller or replaced by a smaller one.

    Back:
    The jet pack contains a speaker to connect a sound system to. I will try my TK sound system on it, see how it goes.

    Re: Dutch Jango on its way

    So far, so good.

    I have everything except for leg armor and bucket.
    Next to do is some modifications, most obvious the vest armor and attach the hoses on the gauntlets.

    Re: Dutch Jango on its way

    Small update, I have been busy with work and stuff. Only two more weeks for the helmet to arrive.

    See pic below.
    Attached the leg armor, almost as it should be. Needs some small adjustments and the legs of the flight suit are going to be shortened.
    Put the first snap on the shoulder for the armor, now for the other 35....



    I hope to be ready in December to troop at the Dutch Space Expo.

    Re: Dutch Jango on its way

    I have been working on the chest armor, as shown in the pics below. Thanks to the tutorial of Cruzer somewhere here on the forum I attached it with the snap. I also places a little piece of leather in the snap to prevent tearing of the vest. Now on to the harnas !

    Here a pic of how it attached the armor:


    And the result (pic not too clear sorry):

    Re: Dutch Jango on its way

    Below a pic of what I have so far. It is complete except for:

    - helmet (comes in this week!! )
    - sliver lining on shoes
    - back armor and jet pack

    I have the back armor and jet pack, but I am going to troop a few times to see if there any modifications to be done. One thing is to look at the girthbelt/ammo belt, the ammo belt is a bit too low.
    Other then that, I think it looks good....




    Interested to know what you think

    Sure, Jeroen is still stealing the shows( in Holland and even in
    Germany) in his Boba ESB, It's going to be a great task to come even close to his version, of course I admire the effort by other fett "buyers" these days , but still have much respect for the real builders and to be honest I think they deserve the real credit in a way, but nonetheless getting and putting on a great fett costume is cool anyway.

    Nogmaals veel succes met je Jango John.

    It took me more time then expected because of work and other stuff.

    But, here are the pics of my completed Jango! Hope you like them...
    Last weekend was my first troop with a complete Jango costume. The jet pack held ok, the harnass needs some adjusting. It was also the first that Jango and Boba were together in the Dutch Outpost, will post a pic later.










    Again, my thanks to those who helped me out and especially those who make all the armor and others.
