New Hunter
Hello!
Apologies - I have been a long time lurker on TDH and not actually posted anything! Thats only because all my questions had already been asked and answered - Long Live the Search Function!
Anyways - here is the Boba Fett I made for Halloween and some Han In Chocolate I did to take with me (made from the ice cube trays you can get).
Thanks to Wizard of Light for the Armour templates! I made mine from cardboard and paper mache - then painted using the numerous helpful guides on TDH
Thanks to Bobamaker for the Helmet, flight suit, gloves, spats and flak jacket
Thanks to Woodman for the cape, wookie braids and girth belt
The other parts (gauntlets, boots, belt) I managed to get from ebay - not the best quality but you get what you pay for! The gauntlets needed the most work - they had been painted with a brush and a really bright red, then random blobs of silver paint added! All I could do was dirty them up a bit!
As you will notice there are no shin tools or jet pack - my paper mache skills and budget did not extend to making those ....... at the moment!
Also the lack of chest lights - I cheated and put on a Union Jack and Colombian flag - I'm currently posted to Bogota. Colombia ...... seemed to go down well with the locals even if most of them had no idea who I was supposed to be!
Anyways - thank you everyone at TDH for helping me with this costume - having never done anything like this before I could not have done it with out your help, advice and prop building skills!
I will be completing the costume (proper armour, shin tools and jet pack) once I have the funds!
Kind regards,
Stormrider1974
