Started the bondo yesterday. Lots more to do and sanding as I have time.

I can’t believe how long this build is taking. So much life crap between when I started and now. Ridiculous. Anyway, I finally got the resin on the jet pack. I still haven’t found pipes the correct size, so I’m still looking. Not shown: I bought the dark grey “superhero trunks” that go on...

I’m back at it with a small update on the jetpack. I have to scratch build everything so it’s taking a while. I can’t wait to get to resin and bondo. I finally have finished the stack and the housing for the rocket. Rocket is easily removable and is only friction fit in place.

While I’m here, I can’t seem to find a CRL for Holiday Fett. Is there one somewhere? If not, should I write one up along with this build? Would dented helmet handle the CRL or would it be TFE etc? Thanks for any help.

Slow progress. I got the thrusters done tonight. Have to find the balls that go on top.

Another couple of days and it is slow going for sure. So many cones, so many circles. I finally have the “glade plug in” and the missile made. If I can just get all these parts built, I hope to fix them up with the resin and bondo. I almost can’t wait until that step. But, if you want an...

I got a little more done on the jetpack before calling it quits. I added the top cover. I cut the backboard to the correct size and I cut the missile housing to the correct size. Just need the missile, the bottom caps, and the thrusters and it’ll be ready to get prepped into shape. I am...

I knew the helmet and the jetpack were going to be the hardest parts, because everything on this version of Boba is custom. I had a little more progress today. As you can see below, the canisters are spheres and the angle of the jetpack is like 18* going across the sphere at the top of the...

I’m a little further along on the jetpack. Just have to find some cylinders that are the correct size for the tanks. I’ll get those in place, and the missile tube, then it’ll be on to resin and some smoothing with Bondo. In the holiday special, there isn’t a lot of images of the jetpack...

It’s been a while. Life and parenting get in the way. Now that my kids don’t need me much anymore, I can finally get back to this build. I have started the jetpack. I figure this will be a HARD re-introduction to this costume, and if I can scratch build the jetpack, the rest of the costume...

Okay I’m back. With Halloween coming up, I need to get back to this costume. I have finished the jet pack, a LONG time ago, but I can’t figure out how to wear the jet pack and back plate together. I know some strapping goes through the shoulders that I’ll have to sew. Does anyone have a...

I think I’m done with the belt. The only thing I’d really need to add is the support leather/velcro behind the holster. I finished the leg loop and the top strap. A few more things to do, of course, but I may take some time off for a bit.

I can load them either way. And I see them both ways.

Or.
