What a truly amazing event and evening - The JB Project

Two days later or so, I'm still soaking in all that happened. Seeing in person the amount of work everyone put in reach it's destination and presenting it to Jeremy was amazing. Just listening to Jeremy talk about the events the next day at the con made me proud to be part of this group.

Meeting new friends this weekend (being 1 of 4 Erics), seeing old ones again, being part of this experience is beyond words. As I told one of the contributors to this project this morning - For a point of reference, this entire deal rivaled my experience of marching in the Rose Parade as a TK and meeting Uncle George, a feat I previously thought impossible.


My sincere thanks to everyone involved.

This turned out just fantastic! Jeremy much have just about fell over when he saw the suit and painting. He probably could have never imagined his role in a movie, would have this much fan base and devotion, even this many years later. I was extremely honored and joyed to be a part of this. I mean how many people get to say "I helped dress the real Fett!"

Alex, it could not have happened withou you.......and maybe a few margaritas but to all the makers a great job that was done beautifully! I thank you guys for allowing Scott and I to come out and to Justin and Laura for putting the three of us rowdy boys up for the weekend.

All of you guys make us very proud and we are very happy to be included in this wonderful thing!

Yep I just woke up myslef! Art and Kristin the photos are amazing! Truly works of ART! HAHA I made a funny.

Anyhow to all the builders, photographers and painters you all did a wonderful job and a very big pat on the back from AZ.

I will remember this weekend for the rest of my life and am very glad to see history in the making!
 
that is the absolute coolest thing ever.

That group pick with Jeremy, he looks other worldly, glowing even

<-- Jealous

Though I'll get to chat him up at SWWs and D*C , though not nearly as cool as what you guys did , I'll get to bask in his awesome.

How cool would it be if he walked in that costume at SWWs though, dang...
 
OOOOHHH YEEAAH!!! I've been dying to see this. It is amazing how Jeremy snaps into character just like it was 1979-80 all over again. (y)
 
Finally dressing the real Fett 04/05/2008

:)Since there were only a few of us left by the time Jeremy was able to get in the Fett, and those that weren't able to make the event...I thought I would show some of the Dress-up pictures ...

At the last minute we had to change a few things to help make the suit that much better...Batninja sewing and trimming, Fettpride cutting the cod piece and fitting the gauntlets, Galactic bounty Hunter and myself sewing and making sure everything was comfortable for Mr. Bulloch...and Superjedi attaching a last minute rifle stalk addition made by Man of War Studios....talk about a team effort.(y)

As Brak's said, it was awesome to see everyone working together for one common Goal....PERFECTION.8)...

Thanks to Evan4218 for taking some Classic shots. (y)

Enjoy...and most of the pictures speak for themselves. (y).

Thanks so much for sharing these amazing sequence of photos to those like myself who didn't get to experience it live, but definitely feel the excitement in the room just from the pics.

I can understand why JB didn't want to take off his BF suit :)

Repeating what's been said, thanks Alex, for heading this up. I was glad to play my part in the project, and only wish I could have stayed around to see Mr. Bulloch IN the suit. :(

Congrats to the whole group, for accomplishing something Mr. Bulloch will never forget, and somethign he has earned in my opinion. Seems like a great guy!

Thanks,

Well done to you all. It looked like a most excellent day. I am sure the next convention will show the costume alongside him for us all in the UK to see. Thanks for sharing the day and the turotials with us.
Look forward to seeing more another time.

Your very welcome guys, I know it you all think it was hard for me to put the Fett man back in the suit, but I'd do it again if I had too. Hafing to paint, sand, and help Jermy in the costume all at the same time was hard, but someone had to do it. :lol: Ok mabey not, sence I wasen't there. :lol: But ya, very awsome project, I appreciate you all. :cheers

Hey Art... rest that hand up. We need it in Boston in June! ;-)

Let me tell ya... after doing just a 45 min shoot with Jeremy, I am so glad we rescheduled the shoot in Boston. There is no way I would have been able to do it. Even half of the Jeremy pics were on tripod because I couldn't hold the camera the whole time. Trust me, the experience I gained in this shoot will come in handy for the rescheduled Boston shoot. I am hoping to blow that one out of the water, so you better be practicing more than your dance moves in front of the mirror!!!
