There are have been several who provided me inspiration over the years. 2003 was the year I built my first version of Fett. Mr. Fett, Seeker, BobaFettish, WebChief, Natty15d were all inspirational to me. No one more though than Art Andrews. He was always available with awesome reference photos and info and to offer constructive criticism. Personally, I just tried to post on my site what others had taught me, and what tips I'd figured out on my own. Glad people found it useful!
 
I found this site through TK409 as well... and I got some parts from him too! (vest, neckseal, pouches)

I think I'm lucky to have found this place and gotten into contact with great resources for parts, tips, and references. Thanks All!
 
Thanks to everyone here, because to me it is the sense of community that is most important. It's always exciting to meet someone from TDH. I've had highs and lows along the ride but I care about you all. I can't thank you all enough...before TDH I was a dreamer, now I feel like I can create anything. All of it comes from starting with building one costume.
 
7 years ago, I've discovered a place on the net called "THE DENTED HELMET". A place where I found the basics of the HTML, message boards (or FORUMS), and a lot of things I didn't know at the time, such as banners, avatars, or even PHOTOSHOP. Since then, I've always called and I always will call this forum MY HOME. I don't show as much as I used to, since I'm busy with other projects, but always looking around to see what's going on around here, specially in RUNS and merchandise.

All of those names I still remember, and one guy in particular who was my inspiration was BOBAFETISH (Chris C.). He was such a good help to me, and never said no to help you out. He also discovered the accurate material for the Fett VEST (which I got from him and still have some left around). Art just said something about him: he set a GOLD STANDARD in his costume, loosing to him at Dragon*Con '03 at the SW Costume contest (we were both Boba Fetts). And BobaGoat for being the smile in your face with his antics and "wisecrack" comments. I still remember his "flashy-pinky-girlie-girlie" version of Boba at one time, which I forgot the name he gave it. Funny, regardless. :lol: Good memories, though.

With their help and input, I have to credit myself by being one of the first ones who completed my Fett in almost a record time...less than 5 months! And I'm still upgrading after 7 years. :wacko

Cheers to those past and present TDH guys. :cheers

THAT'S the name. Here's him at DRAGON*CON '03. The one on the foreground is Thomas "The Clone Emperor" in one of his first costumes,

What about WellPaidKiller, it was his ebay auction that led me here back in the day. His 1:1 displays were the best around back then.

Also what about JangoFettJr does he still post around here, havent heard from him since his brother passed.
 
Yeah I see him on from time to time

On a side note I finally found my info for my old email account an ran across a couple really old discussions with some guys about the original origins of the ESB cape. Interesting stuff we found that I totally forgot about, Ill see if I can dig up more info and shed any light on this
