I just want to say, Hi everyone!

I'm interested to see what kind of talent is out there in the Boba Fett costuming community. This will also be the first build ever for me. So I'm trying to soak up any information that I can like,

Painting

Measurements

Parts

The basics really.

Thanks for reading!,

So for getting started on a build, how would I take measurements correctly?

welcome to the forums.


as far as measuring I guess it depends on what you are measuring. A lot of the fitting depends on height, girth and such but it will also depend on body type. Do you have a long torso, proportionate, long legs short torso and so on. It will also depend are you measuring for a helmet or armor or soft parts. Helmet is very dependent on shoulder width more than hat size.

So where do you want to start? And are doing Boba or Jango?

Thanks. I'm wanting to do a Boba costume. As for what I want to get done first probably the armor.
