Roadtrip to Cruzer's (pic heavy)

Went on a short roadtrip to take delivery on my new backplate. Very nice, he's a stickler for the details. Got it attached and took some shots. I'm 99.9% done. I'll be redoing the girthbelt and a BKBT cod should be delivered any day now. Other than that, I really can't see dumping any more money into this one. I have a clone kit still sitting in the box. During the fitting a neighborhood kid came by and loves Jango Fett.

I plan on putting in an application with the Central Valley Garrison of the 501st. Ya'll think it's good enough? Special thanks to Cruzer for all his help, and photo taking.

Looks outstanding to me!!

I like the weathering

wow the only problem I see is my lack of patientce and money to get a Jango as beautiful as that one WOW

Yea it looks amazing! And you are one of the lucky ones of us that have the dented helmet! I love it.

Excellent Jango !!!

Great suit, excellent job! They would be fools not to have you join the legion.

WOW!! Looks like it came straight off the set of AOTC!

Excellent work! I can only hope to make a Jango that good. Very impressed!

That's awesome. I bet that kid's gonna get into costuming later on.

I have a question tho. When it comes to kids seeing you dressed up, do you act as the character and say the you actually are Jango, or tell them that you're just a person dressed up as him?

Wow JangoNewbie, you are turning one of the best Jango's I've ever seen!

Dude, that is AWESOME! If you apply to the 501st with that, you're in for sure! Great work.

Very nice. I think you board name needs to be updated. You don't look like a "Jango newbie" to me.

NICE! :Thumbsup, HUGE inspiration. HUGE!

Thanks. I'll try my best to get my Clone looking as good the first time.

Looks like you have the angle of the head down just right. VERY impressive gear there. It's simply perfect. If there's anything to complain about, is the Jet Pack the right height up along your back? Maybe it's just the angle of the last shot, but it seems a bit low... but then again I haven't looked at any ref. pictures in a while. Fabulous getup!

You 100% correct. The JP strapping isn't finished yet. The trap door was just taped on and it allowed it to slouch. The head angles are courtesy of Cruzer. "tilt your head to the left" "chin down a little" "push the helmet on a little more" "turn a little more"

Your Jango is very well done, the pics are great..awesome job!

You forgot..."don't slouch", "sit-up straight", "chin up"....

I'm definitely no Braks when it comes to taking pics, but I think they came out ok for just taking a few quick ones.

After looking at the pics, only thing I'd do is get rid of the really heavy weathering on the jumpsuit. But that's just me.

Looking good!

I'll see what I can do. I shows up a lot in daytime photos, and not-so-much in night photos. I thought about trying to dye the whole suit a little purpleish color.

Good point. I think they forgot to take them and tried to get us to forget about them by taking a bunch of pictures of the awesome front half of the costume. It kinda worked too

Alright already........................................... ........................It's only R&B
on the parts that showed up in the pics, it's not done yet, but here it is.

That backplate is one of the most beautifull works I have ever seen in my life...!!!

Cruzer, you are a master of the masters !!! GREAT WORK !!! AMAZING WORK !!!

Very nice Jango costume!! Two thumbs up, bud!
