I joined this community two years ago with my mind set on scratch building a budget Boba costume. I completed it the beginning of this year and have been overwhelmed by the attention and support I received both here on the boards when I was making it and afterwards at the conventions I wore it to. In the past, I've been a bit of a build it and leave it cosplayer; having maybe two outings in the costume before I retire it. With Boba, it's going on three conventions and the movie premiere with Celebration next year to look forward to. So it's safe to say Boba is here to stay for me. But after my blaster snapped at the grip, one of my knee pads cracked for the tenth time and a gauntlet switch broke loose at the premiere screening, I'm looking for a sturdier costume, a more screen accurate one and one more comfortable. I'm immensely proud of the costume I have, but I see this as a chance to upgrade to decent bought pieces that should last a bit longer (and I'm also planning on switching from SE to ESB). The process is going to be slow due to funds, and I'll stick with my SE in the mean time, but I'm excited.
Now I have a question. I'm a short skinny guy at 5'6" weighing 130lbs, leaving me needing everything to be small. For helmet sizes that leaves me with the GMH as the smallest accurate helmet I can get. What about armour? Is there an armour set that accommodates for smaller guys? I'm only a 34" chest, and my original armour that I made out of sinta used Raf's templates were scaled to 90% coming out looking like this:
Same thing for the jet pack and the gauntlets. Anything in the small range?
