Nice job Mike and very sorry to hear about your nan.
Don't give up on your Fett. It will come to be soon enough. I'm still working on mine;-)
 
Sorry to hear about your loss bro.

The knees are looking good. If you're not completely satisfied with them, try adding a little bondo to give them curves, shape, etc. It's like playing with mud except that it dries really really quickly, and you can sand on it once it's dry. I handmade my first set of knees in a similar fashion as yours.

Keep up the good work. It's a nice tribute to your nan already.

looks pretty good for the first one. It's true with what TK-938 said about wizardoflight. Wish those plans were around during the beginning. :D
 
thanks for the kind words.i will really miss my nan.she was scared of my vader costume but always told people about it.anyway where do i get a good size jango bucket from?i have a rubies and my head is too big for it,any good ones out there?thanks mike.
 
First things to consider when looking at buckets are how much $$ do you have to spend and how tall are you? Different buckets for different pocket sizes and body sizes. :)

hi cruzer,i'm 6'3" and money is not an issue,i tried on my friends rubies boba helmet and somehow cut my ear,not nice,so i would like a nice quality one,i would presume in fiberglass?,i have no idea so any help is greatly welcome thanks guys.:)
 
sorry to hear bout your nanny...

those knees look great! though, wizardofflight has already posted draft templates for jango knees ( i think they're draft).
 
I have a BKBT (bigkidsbiggertoys) Jango and love it. My head is 7 3/4 inches and it fits.

Sorry for your loss.


Why not post a pic of the Vader. I'd like to see it because that was my 1st stand-up I wanted to make, but I went with Boba instead.(y) (y)
