Hi, my name is Thomas and last year I became a member of the 501st (German Garrison) with a classic ANH stormtrooper (TK-16237).
However, my passion lies with Boba - since my childhood (I'm 40 now). My first Boba build is from 2002 during university, when the internet was still quite new and you had to build everything from scratch. It's far from being accurate, but serves the general Boba feeling. Everything was built by me from scratch with a huge slate of 4mm PVC, except the helmet (Don Post 97, although heavily modified) and the flight suit (a modified german airforce flight suit).
In 2015 I started updating parts of it to gradually meet 501st requirements - which will lead to replacing 100%. After finishing the TK, I'm totally motivated to finish the Boba.
My list (Update October 2017):
- helmet: bobamaker (V3) -- painting it now
- stalk: bobamaker -- DONE
- rangefinder lights: custom by me -- DONE
