*Official*how much has your costume cost you besides time...

Well, now I currently have my gauntlets, helmet, cape, girth belt and paints. I am at about $580 so far invested.
 
Hmm, this is an old one.

Let me see, about $1300. Half is made by myself and half is made by others

and a ton of effort on scratch build parts and modifiyng bought ones etc.
+the costs to the building materials as cloth for armor vest, pouches, kit, plexi-glas, aluminium and lets not forget the paint and other tiny things but seem to be absorbed by this bottomless pit.
 
Money?
Do we really have to talk about that?
LOL
Boba has about $2,000 into it now.
At least my Tusken was less then $300 head to toe! (Thanks Andy)
 
For my custom mandalorian:

Jumpsuit: Free
Cammo jacket for vest: free
Rubies bucket: $37
Styrene for armor: Free
Elastic: $2
Velcro: $6
Total: $45
 
I would say over 2000 for sure. I have gone through 3 jumpsuits, 2 vests, 2 neck seals, 3 helmets, 2 sets of gauntlets (one hasnt arrived yet i am counting it anyway) 3 girth belts (newest one is perfect thanks Eddie), 2 ammo belts, 3 capes, 2 sets of knees, only one jet pack (yea MLC). The only thing I got for free was a set of shin tools.

Having the Costume you always wanted...PRICELESS!

Sorry I couldn't resist :)
 
I had a pal help me out the suit is not here yet but anyday now. It cost me ( US ) US 250. The whole thing but i'm planning on doing the upgrades myself if I feel like adding. :) :cheers (y) (y)
 
Oh, man....

Helmet...$35 (DP 97)
rplacement visor...$8
Armor...$95
Jumpsuit...$45
ammo pouches...$18
paint...approx $50
blasters (scratch built and modified toy guns)...$16
elastic...$3
bolts and nuts...$15
adhesive...$15
velcro...$10

theres my spur-of-the moment break-down. Its been spread over two years and doesnt include the failed ideas and modifications that I threw out. Im still lacking a vest and guantlets, although I have a good lead on guantlets for $105.

Man, i must be crazy...
 
I just did some quick banging on a calculator and I'm over the $3000 mark!:lol: Oh and I've been working on it for 5 years and still haven't had it all on at one time.........that will change this year however(y)

Some famous Fett philosopher once had a quote of 'Fett,build it or die trying' .....how true it is!
 
I think we have spent about $1600 so far on our Jango but we sold the upgraded parts to make back about $250. Its not assembled to fit yet but we have mostly all the parts.

Zam Ive only spent about $50 on so far because i have nothing much lol

Princess Leia cost me around $300

With my other costumes too - Black Cat cost me about $450 because the catsuit was latex - wish i had bought lycra now :( Lara Croft set me back about $450 so far i would think im always getting bits for that. Im still working on lots more costumes inc. Aayla Secura, Judge Anderson, Poison Ivy etc etc LOL
 
i have about 850.00 in my tie fighter so far, just have to tweak it a little. and i have about 360.00 in my royal guard, still have to get fg helmet. it never ends. "REDTROOPER" :cheers
 
Well, since I actually got my armor for free, thx to Dr. No for letting me use his plastic, other than time, I think I've put about $30. Mostly for my under suit, but soon i will be getting a helmet, then I'm hoping to metal work custom armor, so it'll be up there soon.
