Hi Guys, Ben here.

Just joined the board a few days ago.
Over the years I have been looking for the right Star Wars character that fit my size.
I'm the same height as Mark Hamil, so I was wondering if wearing Fett costume will look ok on me.

The the stromtrooper armor I got, only good as a display, and guard my display cabinet :wacko

So what do you guys think about a 5 feet 6 inch Fett ? Anyone with around the same height ? Suggestions ?

Looking forward to learn from you guys.

Personally, Id say custom mando for you're height, or Boush. If I wasnt doing Fett, I would do a Boush costume. Just my .02

Also, welcome to the fray, friend. :)
 
Hey carves, if your thinkin bout getting rid of that scout helmet, you should hit-up TehElite. I think he's buildin a biker scout( might help fund ur project) :)
 
Thanks for the respond guys.

What is a "Mando" ? I read in the forum people are doing Mando, but never occur to me. Is this some kind of Fett variant or bounty hunter variant ?

dsonik1 - I was thinking about it. Maybe after I got my MLC helmet, I will let that go.
 
Mando = Mandalorian (Jodo Kast, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, etc., all mandalorians) Problem is, not much chance gettin 501st approval with custom mando. But Boush would get you a BH number.

In the end, though, do what makes YOU happy. To hell with other peoples perceptions. If you wanna do an accurate Boba, who cares if the height is a lil off? :)

TDH will be here to help, either way.
 
dsonik1 - I've seen some Japanese chick wearing a GT Stormtrooper armor, and she is 5' 4". So she cut lots of plastic to make it fit her. I tried to find the pics in the web, but now I cannot find it. Anyway, in the end, she did wear it and troop with it.

Thanks for the encouragement thou (y)

Gene - That is sooo impressive. I liked it (y)
Which helmet did you wear ?
I guess now I need to cash in my undervalued stocks and get a Boba :lol:cheers
 
Thanks Ben! That is a Sgt. Fang Mystery Helmet which is reinforced with fiberglass on the inside. I'd say go for it!

Now THAT would be a sight to see! :lol:

And, again, welcome to the fray. Cant wait to see your progress, and Im only a pm away if ya need any help. :)
