cbrant Here's the harness set up. While not 100% accurate I think it's damn close and gets the concept correct from the pictures we have.

Looks damn good. Have you attached the white strapping yet?

Thanks!

No I haven't. I'm waiting to get my armor back so I can correctly measure where the jetpack hooks need to go and then attach the white webbing.

Very cool so far. I will be interested in seeing the final product.

Do you have to "finish" the ends of that webbing or does it just not unravel?

I have. Actually lit a candle and burned it over the candle.

Last 2 months have been a little stressful but finally was able to grab some Fett stuff and get the project moving along.

Picked up MOW boots and Mojo spikes. My order from Woodman came a few weeks ago as well which turned out amazingly.

Pretty exciting update!

My gauntlets and holster are in Fett Pride's next run so I should have those in hand within the next 1-2 months!

I've also taken the plunge and ordered a whole new set of softgoods from Clothears Comstumes! The wait will be about 26 weeks but totally worth it!

That is awesome news! I can't wait to see how the clothears suit will look on this build. I hope to order some soft goods from them too myself, stunning craftsmanship.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited! Between Ponte painting my armor/helmet, sidewinder finishing my EE3, expecting my Fett Pride order and now the long wait for my clothears goods it' going to be a good time! It's probably going to venture into the 2 year frame to get Fett completely done but it's been a fun ride so far!

I think with the long weekend I'm going to start on my base for Boba Fett. I've been debating the carbon freezing chamber base or the Star Destroyer bridge scene. I've decided the star destroyer bridge due to a better chance of accuracy. I've begun the design stage so I should have a good base done this weekend.

Is this going to be a static display or a wearable costume?

While it will be wearable, it will be used for a static display.

Im looking forward to how everything turns out. I'm planning to do the same thing, but ROTJ.

I'm about 2 months out from getting my full Clothears setup.

I got a little work done with the base. Still has a lot of work left but you can see where I'm taking it.

Any idea of paint colors or how to get that shinny reflection as seen on the floor?
