️ Budget Jango Build – Looking for Used Parts, Trade, or DIY Wisdom

[TheViceroy]

Hey all —
First-time poster, long-time Fett fan. I'm currently looking to build a 501st-approvable Jango Fett on a pretty tight budget (think diapers-first, durasteel-later kind of budget). I've got most of the hard armor 3D printed — chest, back, gauntlets, knees, thighs, even the WESTARs. I'm still looking to finish off the soft parts and a few remaining items. I just finished printing most of that on my friend's 3D Printer)


So here's the deal:
Looking to buy/trade for any used or extra Jango gear you’ve got lying around — especially:

• Flak vest
• Girth belt
• Ammo belt + holsters
• Jetpack harness
• Helmet (big noggin — 24.5-25" circumference!)
• Gloves
• Jetpack (I’ll 3D print one if I must, but open to old kits too)

Also looking for DIY tips — if you've done clever budget builds for your girth belt, jetpack, vest, etc., I’m all ears. Already planning to dye a thrifted flight suit and cobble together the belts from vinyl or braid, but open to anything that’s worked for others and passed GML scrutiny.


I’m here to learn, swap, and eventually troop with the best of you. Appreciate this community already!


Cheers and thanks in advance,!

I was in your same boat lol. I tried the 3D printing for a while then upgraded to cold cast through boba maker.

This jango is one of those builds where it just cost a lot.

As for a DIY here is the jetpack harness. Mine was $20 off Amazon. I riveted straps by the shoulders and attached buckles on them. This would only save you about $80-100.
