GBH's JANGO VERSION .75

So cool! Great work on v 0.75! Awesome photographs!

Super nice! Any shots featuring the JP?

Awesome GBH !!! Really a a good job.

Thats it! You could be our Midwest Jango Fett. I could finally start working on finishing off my Clonetrooper armor.

THATS VERSION.75!?!!!?!??!??! :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup

Wow, that looks great!

Did you use rub-n-buff on the helmet?

Yup, it's all just R-n-B! That product delivers a great effect, but by the time I was on the last pieces, I've sworn to never use it ever again! Arrrgh!, it can be really teadous and tempermental! It absolutley delivers the desired effect though, Sooooooo?

But hey guys, thank you much for the compliments, having the acknowledgement and respect of your peers means alot!

GBH, remember a Death Star Gunner approached ya Sunday afternoon @ D*C? That was me ... because that costume was jaw dropping! Ya done an absolutely amazing job with that one right there. Question for ya (and I know it may sound dumb) : where did you get the blue LEDs for the bucket. I saw the Hyperdyne rig, but it only had the red LEDs. Did I miss something?

An outstanding Jango bro!! Your efforts turned out spectactular!!

Pics look like ones straight from AOTC!

Scott, just ask Jim for the blue leds, he's very agreeable to special requests!

-Rex

Hey Scott! Yeah I remember ya'! You had the very trick rifle with all the Hyperdyne sound effects!

Yeah! Just like Rex said, just ask and he'll swap out the Red L.E.D.s for the Blue!

Out freaking standing

Great looking suit my friend!

Ehh, it's okay................

A masterpiece....simply amazing. Very nicley put together and you wear the suit well.

great Job, where did you get those backgrounds?

THX guys for the complimetns! I appreciate it!

Hey Kivas, as far as the direct backdrop behind me, Brak's was using a black sweep for the photo shoots with I believe a silvery gel. As Far as the boarder and support graphics, I'm a graphic designer, so last night I finally had a couple of hours of free time, so I just had some fun and just winged it!8)

Thanks for the help with the LEDs ... think I'm gonna get myself a set of those!

Wow... you definantly did everything right the first time, unlike how I have done with many things, starting cheap then upgrading! Perfect model for people to look at when starting their serious Jango. Kudos!

Okay Seriously....THIS JANGO I THINK is one of the BEST...if not "THE Best" Jango I've seen....just me.

Eric, you did a Great Job on this baby!!!:thumbup ....thanks for letting me have some input on it as you where putting it together.....it was fun to see your progress........I'm completely impressed by your craftsmanship...

I want you Guys to see how much work he put into the BAD BOY...so I'm posting pics that Eric sent me awhile back of the inner workings of his Bucket....hope you don't mind Bro but I couldn't resist!!

Where did you get those pictures from? Man I know that it was only July, but it already seems like a lifetime ago , wierd!

Spidey, after you starting talking about using mini Earth Magnets to hold the earcap on and having a removable visor, I just had to try it, now that's the only was I'd set up any helmet in the future, along with a working range finder and LED'S of course!

THX Again for the kind words my friend!

WOW.....thats all i can say

...THX!

Absolutely amazing ... and my memory does serve correctly ... those LEDs are bright! I remember at D*C when you lowered the RF, I had to squint as they appeared bright even through my Gunner visor!!!!

Hey GBH, why not get your featured on 501st.com? You've got some amazing pictures to chose from!

Wow!! Looks great! Only .25 more to go and you'll have your v1 and already looks fantastic!

THX reinone, I'm just finishing up the .25 portion this week!

Eric, top notch as always, brother!

Your suit conjures up feelings in me that I haven't felt in a long time.........................................envy and jealousy!

Nailing it the first time! How often does that happen here?

Anger Leads to Jealousy, Jealousy Leads to Hate, Hate Leads to SUFFFFERING!!! Ehhhh Yoda, shhhut up!

Thanks for the compliment, you played a part in bringing it all together bro!

THX Again!

Yeah, I'm suffering pretty bad right now so you might as well send the whole suit to me!

No anger here bro (good thing I'm not a Jedi )....nothing but "props" for you from over here!!


...but I still want your chest armor

The look is great GBH.... !!

Great job man!!!

Hey Eric, I have that vid of you spinning your blaster at Dcon, and edited out certain "missing" parts....but its bein a pain getting it uploaded somewhere, but I'll get it worked out, and post it up soon

AWESOME! Can't wait to see it bro!

THX Dark Side, I'm getting close to finishing up my Man of War gauntlets with all your aluminum pieces!

Wow.. that is a beautiful looking Jango! Totally awesome job there GBH!

Amazing. Great set up and photos!!!

Sooooo with that said, I can honestly say that I know she's not going to want to take on any addtional outside commissions for vests and flight suits. If it was myself doing the sewing, it might be a different story. Thanks any way for the inquiries!8)

Got to see this up close and personal at DCon6, it truly is a piece of art. While the pics do the oufit justice, it has to be seen to truly appreciate it.

It looks like functional Mandalorian armor. Cannot give it a higher compliment than that.

-Rex

THX Rex, no I mean Bruce Wayne, no, Oh yeah, that's right, I mean BATMAN

Eric,
You said keep an eye out for version 1.0, let me know if you're going to part ways with any of version .75. Out-frikkin-standing bro'. Nicely done.

THX Bad Jango, I mean DARTH MAUL, MR. DARTH MAUL SIR!:thumbup

Nope, not parting ways with anything by any means, just finishing up the last pieces so I can officially label it a full 1.0!

My hat is off to you sir. Thou hast nailed it to the tree of accuracy and blessed it with the wine of FRAKIN-AWESOME!!!!!

Well done amigo.

There ya go man, there wasnt much lighting there, so I lightened it in Photoshop, and threw in the flashes to help mask certain slips....


posted the link so no ones browser would lag out due to it loadin...

Great suit!

GILMORE!!! that's awesome bro! But @ the same time it started crackin' me up! I started saying to myself... "Hey, look at me everybody, I'm GBH, a pistol twirlin' fool!!!"

THX

I didn't figure you'd be willin' to part ways with any of it. Can't blame a guy for trying.
I haven't brought my Jango out for about 3 months now due to it being full upgrade mode. Can't wait for 1.0.

Amazing suit and amazing pics! Well done man!

Wow Eric, now that is some high quality Jango ! You've got skills!

Outstanding.

I cannot believe how awesome your suit looks. I'm in awe.

I think it's, one of, if not the best one I've seen...

My jaw literally dropped as soon as I scrolled to the first pic.

So did mine when I saw it in person. People were taking pictures of me in my Death Star Gunner costume at the time. When I saw GBH walking by, I at first was stunned ... I had to find out who it was and where the costume parts came from. I think that was the only time I walked away from people who were taking my picture ... I was just so amazed by that costume! Again, awesome job GBH!

In a word, stunning.:thumbup

It has to be one of the (if not THE) best Jango costumes I've ever seen... You look like the man!

I don't really know if it's 100% screen accurate, and I think the colour of the vest is lighter than that of the movie, but wow, never seen a costume fitting its owner as well as this one. The proportions are perfect!

Awesome work.

absolutely great jango!! your mother did a superb job on the vest!

-Wulf

it's soo sweet brother!
Great job!!!

Wow. I mean, wow. Very nice for your first go 'round. Dude, you owe your mom big. I mean, taking her out to a very nice, fancy dinner and then some, big! My mother in law had enough of me after she sewed my jumpsuit, but it turned out just the way I wanted. That lady has some talent. I hope I've made it up to her by now.

Can't wait to see the upgrades. I also love the frames you placed the portrait in. Photoshop?

Very Nice Looking Jango you got there Eric!

THX, Mandalorian Guard!

Yes, back in the day before all the cold-cast Cruzer & Bobamaker armor was so readily available!

The majority of that suit is now in the hands of Darth Miller, hope you enjoy it for years to come Bro!

Very Nice Jango . That inspire me more want to do up a jango.
thanks for the tip as well.
