Thanks, guys! I'm almost done! All I have left are 1) painting the boots, 2) trim and mount my jetpack straps to the harness, 3) Attach hoses to gauntlet, and up sleeve and 4) to attach the back plate to the vest! (After that, I have GMH #56 to paint in ESB style, just for fun.)

I was thinking of wearing my suit to Boston Con in April, but I'm ****-near blind without my glasses in that helmet and I won't have a handler with me! I'd be Clumsy Fett.

All of my pairs of glasses are too wide and not curved like the inside of the bucket. There's just no room inside the helmet for glasses with my head in there! :) I can see without my glasses -- but everything is fuzzy. A couple of people suggested contacts, but I'm not a big fan.

My Man Of War boots are done! Instead of using all acrylic paint, I decided to dye the boots with diluted RIT Black. I did this because I wanted the boots to breathe as much as possible while being worn to inhibit sweaty, smelly boots! Paint seals off the canvas. I did use acrylics to dirty up the boots, and for the center stripes. I drybrushed a little bit of Testor's Rust into the soles and on the toe spikes, and then hit the boots with sandpaper to rough them up.

Here's the latest update! Backplate & Jetpack Harness complete! Almost done. I have to do the gauntlet tubes, and I want to figure out a better way to attach my shoulder braids.

Here are the latest photos! Note the double routing on the shoulder studs so the nut can sit on a little shelf, but the screw can continue past it!

Just a quick update. Been busy as heck lately, but the good news is that all I have left to do on my RotJ Boba is weather the gauntlet tubes, and I'm DONE! Expect project completion photos in the near future! In the meantime, here's a teaser!
