Wow, it has been busy in here! So 3 months after my last post, what have I done since then. Well.... I have completed my Fett. I finished the final bit of work and fitting almost 1 year to the date of when I originally started my project.
I completed my ESB Fett on October 25, only days before I was supposed to take the costume to Las Vegas for Halloween.
I never took the costume to Vegas. I was afraid, too many people, too close, too much could go wrong in a short amount of time. I opted for a different costume to take to Vegas that would pack much smaller and could take a beating.
So I put a bit of a spin on the wife's idea of going as a Wizard of Oz character and did a Scarecrow, just a bit differently.
I did untie the noose before packing my luggage both ways. I also managed to wear my mask through the Bellagio, for a brief period of time.
Anyhow, here is my final Fett, it may not be perfect but it does the trick. I still need to install a comms device of sorts and i still need to mark the jetpack harness straps so I know exactly where to adjust them each time when I put the jetpack on it sits at the right height.
I have submitted photos for 501st approval, I am just waiting on a reply now, I will post up how it goes.
