LOL. Looks like I'm the "Very Shiny Boba Fett". The New York Mets celebrate Star Wars night | For The Win This was from my recent appearance at the NY Met's stand up to cancer.

Honestly, I'll only take my good resin guns to high profile events. The rest I repainted some of the toy guns to be a bit more accurate. But this allows for kids to handle them in the pictures, and I don't care if they drop or break them.

Oh absolutely. Two grand is the start, I think mine totaled out in the 3 grand area, got some bargain prices and made my own holsters. I lucked out on some of my items. It's a pricey costume... I think we scared him off. LOL.

My first stop would be the bank. Pull out a whole bunch of money, at least two grand to start. Put that money in your paypal account, mark it "For Jango Fett Replica costume". My next stop is to start reading all the build threads here, most people will list where they got parts for it...

Thanks nasty, mandolorian... That educated me pretty well. I've never worked with fiberglass, but I'm pretty sure I could mount a metal strip in there. ( probably wait for the next time it breaks. ) You guys are knee savers!!!!

Question for the Fett think tank: I have pretty decent knee armor for my Jango (cruzer I think) They look beautiful, they came in three pieces which I (ca glue) glued them together. But they are prone to pop apart. (maybe I have sexy leg muscles.. I mean large leg muscles). Does this happen...

I came on to ask this very question. Had two kids who said they can see my chin! I think I'll go the underarmor route, found it for $20. Summers here are brutal enough, and we all know Jango isn't a nice and breezy costume as it is. I've heard nightmare stories about the gasket/skirt and the...

The costume weathered it fine. (He even had a Vader bowling glove on) His thumb got caught in the ball, I think he injured his wrist... and a bit of his pride. He's still the most awesome vader I know of.

Don't bowl in it. I shot this yesterday at a 5001st function. Vader shouldn't bowl - YouTube

I do believe I did.

I might do a custom Mando, I've got an idea that has been floating around in my skull for a while.

Thanks for the feedback, and to be completely honest with you.. Kits are never done! LOL, always a work in progress. I keep tweaking and upgrading, and this being my first "armored" character I found that there is always work to be done. I keep seeing small things like "A bit more weathering...

So I took my Jango out for a test run at NY Comic Con. Broke my knee (rocket launcher came off), Lost an exhaust port on the jet pack (Does anyone know where I can get spares?) and my center tube that sits on the cod piece came off (that the holster goes through.) Here is a couple of pics, the...

Thanks Mullreel. Someone suggested just using a couple of snaps and velcro so it's hugs the vest also.

Sorry I've been off the site for a bit, lost my Mom and my Dog this year. But good news, my vest came in today from Bobamaker. Now I'm have the task of attaching the armor to it. What does everyone recommend: Velcro or snaps? I'm leaning toward snaps, but paranoid if I'll get it all to line...
