Hello everyone, I'm a chilean architecture student and I made my Boba Helmet for the premiere of TFA.
I spend most of my days modelling and I'm very demanding with great detailing. Because of that, If I own a Boba costume, I need it to be 501st...
I don't have the time to finish the costume.
This february I'm traveling to BERLIN, so I guess I could buy from some european sellers that ship cheaply to there.
Where do you recomend to buy the props for the cheaper price?
I'm willing to paint but not build the costume.
Of course, I need it to be as cheap as possible... I'm not even considering to get the whole costume just now, but at least flightsuit, flak vest, gauntlets, armor, belts.
Thank you.
Sorry if I posted on the wrong place.


Vicente Arancibia.

You posted in the right spot. If you cant find cheap enough stuff, alot of people buy and mod the rubies supreme suits.

If you're going 501st it's not going to be cheap. You're looking at 2-3K at the cheapest just to acquire the pieces to meet 501st standards if you're painting yourself.

There are not much european sellers for armor parts execpt Bobamaker and RS Propmasters. Darkside (Italy) here in TDH offers some aluminium greeblies and FullMetallFett (UK?) some metall stuff for the jetpack.

I forgot Delta13Mike is from Europe and makes a cool ammo belt. And if you want a rangefinder servo kit you can write to Salamanderking. Both here in TDH.

Thank you, I will check those sellers.
Given the price of everything, as I said, I'd like to start with prime quality armor and gauntlets, with the ****ty helm I alredy have and then keep adding on the other pieces slowly.
I want quality but not rushed to complete the whole costume, not until episode IX at least.
My girlfirend studies fashion so I think she can help me with the soft pieces also
Below, a picture of me and her on the premiere of TFA.
