Hello from South London

Hi everyone, new to the forum. Have a cleared ANH Stunt TK and a nearly cleared TX. Looking to start the long journey that it’s a Boba build! Joined the forum with the hopes of getting a steer on where to source armour. Any recommendations are very much welcomed via PM. Thanks

Wow, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for and you’re the first person to just outright give me the information. Was beginning to feel like I was trying to infiltrate some kind of national secret haha! Given me lots to look at, thanks a million

I think I’m going to go with Bobamaker for as much as possible, if not all. Sent an e-mail for ordering the helmet to start with

Hello, welcome to TDH.

Which version of Boba are you looking to build?

Are you looking for painted parts or are you painting it yourself?

Thanks Roger!

I’m looking to do an ESB build. For me that’s the definitive Boba Fett.

I’d like to do the painting myself. I’m aware there is a lot of detail expected and I’m ready for the challenge. From what I’ve seen so far, there is an absolute tonne of resources available here which I will take full advantage of!

As I say, I’ve been in touch with Bobamaker and asked to order a VX helmet. He said the next space available in his schedule is February/March which is ok by me. I’m just waiting for the PayPal invoice to secure with a deposit.

I’ve paid my deposit to Bobamaker for my helmet so I have lots of time to wait for it to arrive now.

Can anyone recommend some reading/research to prepare for the build? Aside from aimlessly scrolling through and picking posts or WIPs at random please.
