finished up the last of the needed work this morning on this project...
i added some fiberglass to the backs of my leg armor to make the straps part of the armor so they wouldn't pop off od tear off during a troop
i also sured up the asok knees i have. because the knees were abs and a bit flimsy on the sides i wanted to make them a bit stronger so i added a bit of fiberglass to the inside connections...
i also sewed a clip on the flightsuit to hold the hoses in place. the wire i have is temporary but i plan to put a screw and bolt through the hoses and then clip this together that way...
just waiting for the blasters to come to reality on TDH..someone is trying to get aluminum machined westars!

here is the finished costume! hooray!!!!
the only thing i wasnt thrilled about was how hard it was to get the pins in the gauntlets...i may file them down a bit...also the way the hoses sit was an issue for me, i think the need to be shorter cause they were poshing on the sleeve...the glove solution will be good for the photo shoot, but not long term. i think ill be trying the nulife spray theory next...everything else was looking and feeling pretty sweet!
totally pumped to be a new daddy!

Freakin' Awesome!!!
You guys are making me want to do another suit.
Hate to hear the pin is giving you problems. I'd suggesting sanding the stem down with some 120 or so and then giving it a good coat of all purpose oil. I did that with my son's pair and it helped a lot!
Again, nice!

thanks alot guys..i gotta tell you this was a long and very tedious project as anyone here knows. to hear from such an elite group of guys and get the props is totally awesome and i so appeciate everything this community has offered in me getting this project completed. without the dented helmet and its group of fantastic and talented folks this never wouldve happened..i owe a ton to cruzer, bkbt and loanstar for all thier materials ans especially to cruzer for his continued help and stepping up to assist me when needed..thanks man
i must also say that the pin issue im sure is operator and construction error and nothing to do with you lorenzo..lol i will try that idea as thats one of the things i was thinking about doing actually...
rock on all you future jangos!

Thought for those who have not seen the thread in the sarlacc pit about the boston photoshoot with Art, i would post a few of my jango shots here for you to scope out.

For those who dont know here is a quick rundown on my costume...
BKBT helmet and armor (back plate exception - juddz dwedd)
Lonestar vest and flightsuit
seeker ammo belt
jdfett girth belt
cruzer gauntlets and holsters
jet pack...not sure of the origin but painted and repaired from scratch by me with aluminum beacon and switch
also have the metal ears and range finder stalk from evan/spideyfett
gauntlets have all aluminum parts, rocket, switches, darts, ect.
not so great stuff...(upgraded sometime)
i own rubies nasty blasters(mirax was kind enough to lend me her MRs for the shoot..thanks hun!)

gloves are generic with upholstery spray paint
hope to replace my back plate with a cruzer one sometime!
