My sons Jango

[Wags]

What?? no scortch?? cry:cry

Sorry Rob, I just cant drop that much coin at one time. Maybe down the road.

Scortch is less $$ then Jango. Or....just use all your UPS checks to buy both!!! See problem solved. Your welcome.

Well, I got the left gauntlet all done. I finished up the rocket last night. Easier then I thought. I took a dowel rod and marked the center on it then took it to my table sander and just ground it down. Then took a Bic pen apart and took off the ink tube and the ball point and cleaned out the ink and used it for the tip. I drilled into the tip of the cone so I could set it inside.

I also attached his armor pieces to his vest last night. It looks cool. I cant wait. I hope the weather man is wrong here for Mi, cause its supposed to rain on Halloween....

awesome and sweeeeet

its motivateing to made one for my girlsfriends little (5years) ;o)

 

[Thumper]

And its funny, but I have decided to make Jango "MY" next build. Im a Boba fan but a small guy and it seems that Jango is a bit stockier then Boba.. so that will be good for me..

Ok, now I totally need to finish my Zam!!!

 

[Wags]

Yes, yes you do woman!!! lol, love ya Thumper!!

Ok, so we fit most of the parts tonight, and realized that we needed more fitting, which is no big deal. It will be done in time for Halloween!!

So, for your viewing pleasure, the Jericho missile.. er.. I mean Mini Jango.. lol

The funny thing about the last pic is this...

mom: "Anton, say cheese!!"
Anton: "MOM... Jango doesent say CHEESE!!!"

me... laughing my butt off....

I have to add his thigh plates and shoe plates and a few more little things, but mostly done...

 

[Thumper]

Looking great!!

 

[jedi paramedic]

Fantastic costume. You have been an inspiration on mine.

 

[Wags]

Thanks Thumper, JP. Its been fun building this. :cheers

This has helped me get a good feel for when I do mine.

I still need to figure out a way to get the boot plates on without tearing up his boots. They ARE his winter boots after all....

I had to shave down his thighs and shins down some. He has short legs.. and I refit his belt. Alot. It looks way better then in the pix now.I also am going to ad a snap in the back of his belt to hold it up a little better.

Oh, and I also got his left gauntlet clear coated and his rocket added to it.

Now onto my daughters Rotta back pack....confused

 

[jedi paramedic]

I put a small piece of velcro on the inside outer portion of the shoe armor, and then on each outside of the shoes. It moves with her stepping motion, but does not fall off at all. I used industrial strength velcro.

 

[Wags]

Thanks JP. I will give that a go. Ok so here are the new pix of the fixed holsters and finishe left gauntlet.

 

[jedi paramedic]

Where did you find that small hose for the gauntlet?

 

[Wags]

Lowes. In the pluming section. 1/4 inch.

 

[TK2280]

Ok, now I totally need to finish my Zam!!!

Note too Wags: MAKE SABER DARTS!!!!!

 

[Wags]

Ok, so we had fun on Halloween. Alot of my friends and there kids came over, so it was fun. My buddy is about the same size as my wife, yea, he is small.. lol, so he put on my wifes shock trooper. It was a lot of fun!!!

 

[jedi paramedic]

The costume looks great. I think we did the same thing with the Jango blaster belt. I had to modify the crud out of mine.

 

[kibosh]

Looked great!

 

[Armored Artichoke]

wimpywimpywimpy HEFTYHEFTYHEFTY!

 

[Bluewolf]

I am so jealous, these are the times I want a kid. I hope...no I expect that in about 10-15 years we see him on these boards with an uuber Jango costume. Out of respect for your effort, he's not allowed to give up costuming. (Ofcourse that is wishful thinking, I would never deny anyone the choice of costuming or not.)

 

[ONE END]

I'm asking around but where did you get the boots from & Gauntlets?
