@ zachstarkiller, thanks- as for where to start, that depends on you, your budget and what you are capable of doing yourself, I say, and I belive almost everyone at this site would agree that your helmet will make or break your costume. I've tried to do as much as I could by hand or from scratch, and the items I did buy I have modified myself (the helmet, blaster, jumpsuit and vest being the big ones) everything else was pretty much made from scratch or something else, the armor is from a rubbermade garbage can (see pics) the knee pads are tupperware bowls with wooden blocks fixed to the sides, the knee dart tubes are metal hose nosles I found in the garden section of a hardware store, the gauntlets are made with taco bell cups, the gauntlet rocket, different sized wooden rods etc, the darts on the right gauntlet are actual metal dart shafts ( like throwing darts you'd find at a bar) the boots I found on amazon, glued some black parachute cord to and painted. It all depends on your imagination.
Or you could go pre-made molded aromor and stuff, there are plenty of merchants- most of which you can find out about here on the dented helmet, who have pre made kits for the helmet, armor gauntlets, kneepads, jetpacks, there are tailors who do the flight suits and vests, there are endless possibilities, depending on how you want to do it, pre made (usually a little more $, but deffinately more acurate, or homemade, and in that case its up to you on how good it turns out)
But remember, Fett isnt someone you can throw together in a weekend, Ive been working on mine off and on since december, many people here have much more time invested in theirs, take your time, I even have plans on upgrading peices once I have the oportunity, like the post says WIP, work in progress, I still have a long way to go myself, but Id be glad to give out tips and pointers to you along your own journey, just drop me a line, alway happy to help a fellow fett head.
