Long-time fan of Star Wars and other Sci-Fi/Fantasy films. My first Boba Fett costume was built shortly after the release of The Empire Strikes Back, in the early 1980's, and is the one in my avatar. I was used in a short (admittedly bad) Star Wars fan film I made in Super-8 shortly after graduating high school. It was a lot of thrift store finds and scrap plastic, including the Helmet that was an inverted Hot Wheels toy, cut, re-shaped, bondo'd, and painted with cans of spray paint - hence the cartoonish colors. Now, years later, I'm still a fan working on bigger and better things for my collection.
