Thanks for the comments everybody. Yeah Rafal, I have a list a mile long on stuff to fix/replace to make it more accurate. I plan on slowly replacing my scratch built stuff with some quality pieces from TDH :thumbsup:. But as far a halloween goes I am super happy with how this turned out...

Trying to get my very budget ROTJ fett done before Halloween. Have some more weathering to do and i have to finish the back plate and jetpack assembly. But so far I am happy with my results and only spent about $150. :D Its not 100% accurate but for my friends, who know little about star...

HAHAHAHAAH superjedi that is awesome!!

This is my budget ROTJ armor. I cut it out of sintra and formed the pieces using the boiling water technique and molded them against my packing tape body form. THe back piece i had to use a hair dryer cuz it was a little too big to boil :D. I used rattle cans to paint the base and used model...

Just a small update. Still working on weathering and final details. Have a slightly modified vest, made using darth mule's tutorial. I modified some cheap canvas gloves and attached the patches using WOF's templates. The spats are also made from WOF's templates. The neck seal I made using...

This is looking really good!! I am in the same boat as you. I have been scratch building all of my stuff in almost the same exact way haha. You have made amazing progress for just starting last month. I have been working at mine for the better part of six months!! Really nice job! :cheers

thanks darthmater. The ball shapes on the thruster cones are some wooden balls i got from Michaels. They were the perfect size and had a flat side makeing attachment of the thruster cones easy. As for the rocket, yeah i justcut out WOF's templates out of posterboard and shaped each piece...

These are my budget boots. Got some leather ankle boots, that were about as close as i could find to the real thing, at the thrift store for 3 bucks. and just glued come gray and black canvas I had laying around. And used some black dollar store shoe laces for piping. The spikes are just...

Thanks for the comments :thumbsup: Yeah those are pringles cans haha. I read on another thread that they were super close to the correct size. ITs surprisingly sturdy. I made a frame with this matte board and foam board, so it has a solid interal structure. And for the outside i did a few layers...

Just a little update. I have finished painting my pack. Just have to finish a couple details like the stabliser and what not. I am going the cheap route for hooking to my suit. Since its mostly cardboard its super light. so i am going to use some strapping sewn onto my flightsuit with a D ring...

+1 to rancor keeper :lol:

Just finished my body cast. Used an old t-shirt and seven rolls of packing tape. Seem to work really well. Cant wait to start molding my armor. It was a really good "bonding" experience for my girlfirend and I :lol: Haha pun intended. But it could have been a really "sticky" situation if she...

I ordered mine from t-visor. And I love it. It came super fast. The only thing is that I scratch built my helmet so a little trimming was needed (not much tho), but for the price totally worth it.

I am about to start molding my armor out of 3 mm Sintra. and was planning on trying the boiling water technique. Just wondering if I can use my household pots, or will molding them ruin the pot? Want to double check before I ruin my girlfirends cooking stuff :lol:.

Thanks Rafal. It has been a blast putting this together, I have definitley caught the Boba building bug!!:eek:. And this costume is a stepping stone to the next, more accurate suit.
