The cod piece should go where it feels natural and comfortable. Remember, it's a functional piece to protect your space junk. I had a hard time getting the girth belt to stay OVER my cod piece, so I actually drilled a couple holes in the cod piece and zip tied the girl belt to it in 3 spots...

I will eventually redo the armor. The fiberglass is way too thick in spots and I'm not happy with the color of the paint. I also need to make new shoulder armor. I've spent the last week repairing cracked gauntlets and replacing the industrial velcro with snaps. After halloween I'll work on the...

Hey all, I'm back on Fett train. Decided to unbox my Fett gear for halloween after a several year hiatus from the hobby. In that time I've had 2 kids, bought a house, and changed jobs. Time sure flies. I never sold my Fett gear because I knew I'd come back to it once life settled down. Turns...

Yeah, a little goes a long way.

That's looking fantastic. I love to see some ROTJ love being shown.

Looks like a Predator/Mando hybrid. I like it!

There's the Plastikote spray cans that some of the guys over at the 3po builders site have used but I don't think anyone has found a source for it in the states. You'll have to get someone in the UK to ship you some.

Cruzer, I love watching your project threads. They were too few and far between there for a while.
