Tommy's Jango Fett WIP, Questions and Help me thread.

There are pics of it in the gallery. Those are the pics I used. I will see if I can find them again. I thing it is the set that is from the Paris show.
 
Perfect, not sure why I didn't check the gallery... so used to using google image search. Well I didn't find any of the paint listed (not in complete manufacturer) But I did find paint, just a different manufacturer. Going to start painting today, I'll take pics.
 
Update on the Jet pack, it's got some color now. Still have to do the weathering. photo (22).JPG
 
photo (26).JPGOkay, not actually a costume piece, but I figured I'd share it anyways. I finished the trunk I'm going to use lugging all this stuff around in. Jango Trunk.
 
photo (27).JPGOkay, instead of paying $65 for women's navy blue leather gloves, I found a place near me that supplies off white leather gloves. I got some royal blue dye and presto, it came out okay I think. (What do you guys think?) I spent loads less...
 
I have 2 extra pair of the Target gloves. If you wanted a pair I would sell you a pair for 20 plus shipping. Probably about 25 or less.
 
photo (28).JPG Here's my Rubies Westar 34's. A friend of mine at the Kung Fu School has a metal cutting machine and we are going to try to make full metal ones.. until then, these will suffice.
 
Okay, just an update. I got some chest armor pieces very inexpensive. I figure that's a piece I can upgrade along the way. Trying to keep the costs down, (even though I got the okay to write off all my costume pieces on my taxes from my accountant). I also upgraded my Westar34's to resin ones. They are more screen accurate than the rubies. I have on order a postal blue jumpsuit, that I will modify for Jango. (at least attempt, apparently I remember how to sew.. I just did a bit for my soft parts for my ghostbusters costume.) I cashed out an investment account that was robbing me more money than making me any, and a portion of that will go to my gauntlets.

The leather bolo belt I'm going to try to make myself. My friend found a cheap spot to get the bolo, and I'm going to pick up a flank of 9oz cowhide and the tools to make it. I might come out with some extras. I'm also going to give a shot at making the holsters myself. I found this informative site:
Holster Making Tutorial

Here is a pic for the update: IMG_1043.JPG
 
photo (29).JPGThe jumpsuit arrived today! I'll have to modify the sleeves to do the overlap, I'll wait until my gauntlets come in before I mod. I'm happy with the color of the suit, it's postal blue (the photo does not do it justice, it looks very washed in the photo. )
 
It is tough to see the color in the pic but Jango is always tough to get the color right. If that is the postal blue coveralls, then I would add a small amount of purple dye to it. The postal blue is not far off from the right blue hue. If you get Jango right then in some pics it will look purple and in some pics it will look blue. If you look at my "I stopped by Kamino" thread you can see two pics taken on the same day, and you would swear that it was two different jump suits. And then of course you need a bit of weathering....

You are just about to the point that things should start rolling along, I look forward to seeing your work start to come together.
 
I've got some more pieces on the way, and I'm going to take a pic with the pieces on, this should help align the colors, or what I need to do to align the colors. I've custom made my gloves, and dyed those myself.. I think the color is spot on with those.

This is what I have left to do.
1. Girth Belt (I'll try to make myself, I'm ordering a full sheet of 9oz cow hide, a ridiculous amount of bolo, I'll buy the tools I need)
2. Holsters. (Once again, I'll try myself off the same huge sheet of cow hide, I've got some tutorials on how to make holsters)
3. Knee Armor: Bobamaker or Cruzer perhaps?
4. Cod Armor
5. Legs, boot armor
6. Back Armor
7. Vest (Going cheap for now with a leather like material, I'll upgrade to a full leather one - either Bobamaker or LSFU as more funds are added)
8. Voice changer / helmet padding
 
What do you have in mind for the voice changer and helmet padding?

Not sure for the voice changer. But my 501st pals have been using something you can usually buy off of Amazon dirt cheap. It's got a small amplifier and makes cool "mic" noises when you talk.
