ESB(Now ROTJ!) Progress thread

[toofastrobot]

Had a random photographer take some pretty great shots of me for my first time out. Gonna get cracking on the rest of the helmet and the jetpack now. Still need to work out the harness situation, I've got a bigdane but I have NO idea how I'm going to do the strapping lol

Found this one too! My flak vest got bunched up underneath the abdomen armor when I was sitting down.

Looking good buddy!
Sorry I didn't send you pics last night of the knee attachment...after work I was scrambling to get my suit somewhat troopable for a quick holloween trick-or-treat walk with my nephews. They begged me to go with them
I'll try and send those pics this evening after work.

Looking good Alex. Once you put your harness under the vest, it will all tighten up and look even better.

If you need any help on the straps, let me know, I built my entire harness and sewed up all the straps by hand.

No worries! I don't plan to wear it again for a little while. Doing an armor repaint, so no rush!

Just started my empire build the other day and this suit looks great!

I'm impressed that you can sit down! I can't! Well, not in my truck anyway!

The only reason I could I think was because I didn't have my jetpack lol.

Another couple of pictures from the con. I keep looking at them and I realize... I prepped sanded and painted armor and partially a helmet in 17 days, I can't wait to take my time on the rest of it haha.

Haven't gotten anything really done lately, my friend bought my armor, so I'm going to be redoing a new set... once I get around to finishing my FPH2 I'll post up those pics and then fix up my right gauntlet, dental files in the wrong place and one fell off... ha

 

[LostDreams]

Very well done! It's awesome to see your Fett with great pictures done professionally. Congrats on an amazing Fett!

 

[mainst69]

You need to keep that lid on! Lol

You need to keep that lid on! Lol

The 2nd day of the con the padding in the inside pretty much fell apart so I didn't even bring it in with me that day. Fixed it up for the last day though!

Thank you! Once it's ACTUALLY complete I plan on taking more pictures but it's gotta take a backseat for now... At least I got to wear it out! Haha

Changing up my build from ESB to ROTJ. Started by redying my Arkady flight suit. This was my first time doing anything of the sort and it looks as though it came out okay. Just need to hit it with weathering now.

 

[jonbenm]

Looking good dude... I've always liked the way you weathered up your flightsuits keep up the good work man I look forward to seeing more!!

I'm in Lockhart and probably. If not as Fett, I'll be there as Judge from Dredd.

Hey Razio for the strapping system on the harness I followed The 5th horseman's guide and I'm pretty happy with it.
