General IronMeg's (somewhat speedy) Boba Fett build WIP

Today is my last day for finishing touches.

Neck Seal:



Next up, spats

I first attempted a pattern I found here, but it turns out I suck at sewing "relief cuts" lol




So instead, I added padding between two pieces of cloth and sewed the curve right onto the cloth instead:




Next up... making the belt red instead of pink ><

Well we went to the event last night and had a ton of fun. I snapped a few pictures but not nearly enough, and the ones I did get are.. well they are awful lol. I'll post a few but I'm sorry for the terrible quality of the photos. Keep in mind, there was beer involved... quite a bit actually. Also, we had to take one of his knees off, it was giving him trouble (need to tighten it for future use).





I'm really sorry if you guys felt this build not up to your standard, but I got most of the information to build it from this site, so I just wanted to contribute back if I could.
Thanks for all the information. Eric really enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame.

The only standard is to have fun, no need to be sorry

No need to be sorry! Considering everything, I actually think you did quite well. Like RepubliC0mmando said, the main thing is to have fun.
