ROTJ Undersuit

[webchief]

Thanks Grant. When it comes to the 501st and TDH I'm extremely protective of both. Both have their flaws and share of a-holes and yet both are filled with many, many more great people doing great things.

That's great to hear that your GML wants to speak with Clothears. I'm very curious to see what stems from that. Keep us posted!

 

[Art Andrews]

Finally - my GML contacted me last night to tell me he'd asked to meet up with Clothears to discuss the colour at a troop in the near future (this was confirmed by Clothears when I nipped round there last night to drop the suit off for the odd tweak).

This reminds me of a time about a year ago, when eFX showed its first prototype stormtrooper suit that was cast directly from the only complete set of armor we know... and a few know-it-alls in the 501st immediately made outrageous statements about have a conference to determine if the costume would be acceptable...

Are there approved Boba Fett costumes in your garrison? If so, I'd really like to see one that has been approved.

It's progress Jim, but not as we know it!!! Is a Trekkie reference blasphemy here lol!!

Off with his head!!!

We just tend to show our a-holes the door more quickly than the 501st does...

Thats not a bad idea...sounds like the guy is on a power trip, or is an approved fett and doesnt want to be shown up.

Curiously said GML troops an ROTJ Fett & co runs a site that sells Fettgear

Definitely go above him. His argument has been nothing but petty. It definitely seems that he just doesn't want to be shown up. Your ROTJ is the best I've seen, there's no reason that there should've even been a discussion on it. I've seen some pretty terrible Fett's in the 501st. So not only am I surprised that yours is an issue. I'm surprised that it's been an issue for this long.

And there you go... clear conflict of interest.

 

[Art Andrews]

PLEASE tell me this isn't the guy that turned down your costume for "inaccuracies"....

 

[Grantd1]

That's Nath - he's a top bloke & helped me out loads when I joined the 501st many moons ago.

Mark is the GML

 

[Grantd1]

Actually I've made a boo boo - he troops an esb Fett!!!

 

[Scout19176]

I hope you get this sorted out soon chap.
I've been following on the UKG and have put-off commissioning soft parts so far pending on decision.
I'll be at Birmingham MEM this weekend and would be very interested in seeing your Fett in the flesh if you are bringing it along.

Hi Andy - sorry but I can't make it .

Clothears maybe going so could be worth dropping her a line?

 

[Heatshock]

hope you get this sorted grant
I love the 501st, but in a way some of what has been said here is very true. But lets not be about the bashing.

@Art - Nath Smith is half of Fett Gear. He is a top bloke and very good costumer with his heart in the right place.

lastly, Grant, I hope you get your clearance sorted. Lots that should have been said has already been said.

my suit wasnt built for UKG clearance, it was a "for me" suit. But the swear the colour drives me nuts. In some light its grey-blue, and in other grey-grey

That IS the same suit, not photoshop, no dyeing, just different lighting conditions!

great example...

 

[Grantd1]

Awesome Nath.

Nate,

Thanks for the clarification. From what you and others have said, the issue isn't with Nath Smith, but with Mark Farebrother, the darker half of fett gear as well as a clear example of the worst the 501st has to offer. My sincere apologies to Nath for the confusion.

It's looks like the suit will be getting cleared (for those who asked to be updated).

I will updated when this is confirmed.

 

[Grantd1]

All - just to confirm the suit has now been cleared for duty by the UKG - most importantly, without any compromise.

The RS set up & Clothears soft (ROTJ) soft parts are now clearable. Great news

 

[Keegan]

Wonderful news!
It's too bad things went the way they did at first but I am pleased so many good people went to bat for you behind the scenes. Justice has been served.

Totally agree - massive thanks to all who supported and worked hard progressing this suit - awesome!
