    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    There is no reason yours shouldn't turn out great! Just remember: you have this community to help with just about any issue you may ever run into while making your build AND almost anything can be repainted if you don't feel it to be good enough! Except the flight suit. Don't screw that up. ;)...

    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    Hah! I can completely relate to this! My daughter has already laid claim to the Super Trooper Fett once she turns 7. She has also requested it to be painted pink. Thanks, guys!

    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    I appreciate it! So, after seeing me work (what seems like forever) on my own Fett, my son wants to be Boba for Halloween. Not just any Boba, but the "Super Trooper", all-white version, of course. We are attempting to finish his costume in two days. I think all we have left are gloves and one...

    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    Thank you all for the kind words! Yes, kevnaminute, no Fett is a cheap Fett it seems! I won't make it a habit to share photos from trooping here (after all, it's a build thread), but I figured I'd share my first! It was at the midnight toy release of Force Friday at Toys R Us. There was a...

    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    For anyone keeping track, I recently submitted my application for 501st approval and passed! I'm in!!! My first official troop in Tha Fett will be this Thursday. I'm stoked to finish this build, but it feels far from finished. There are still so many tweaks I will be doing along the way. I...

    Thank you! Although, I'd hate to be called a "clean Fett" ;) Two, as a matter of fact!

    Not sure of all the pieces. I believe the tip is brass.

    Thank you! I'm actually thinking about getting a resin rocket for my left gauntlet. I have a metal one right now and that sucker is heavy!

    Thoughts on evolution props

    I really like the "squared off" look of the toe area on the MOW boot. The Evolution and CA Boots versions seem to have softer lines and, in my opinion, are a bit less accurate. I just got my MOW boots a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! Happy hunting!

    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    I'm definitely no rockstar, but I am feeling pretty good about finishing things up! Speaking of finishing, I went ahead and added some finishing touches to a few pieces that needed them. I painted and installed the aluminum darts into the knee pads, painted the tops of the metal collar studs...

    That's true, I guess! I'll give it a try tonight.

    Taking My Best Shot: Robo's ESB Fett

    Pretty excited to get the metal parts in from DarkSide! I know I won't be able to sleep until I get these installed. I'm setting a goal to take 501st submission photos over this upcoming weekend. Can anyone give me some pointers about connecting the beacon to the battery pack? Is it just a...

    General Mid-Budget ESB built

    I haven't checked your thread in a while and freaked when I read you may have to sell everything! Glad things are working out though, everything is looking great!
