Boba Fett Re-Appearance Armor (heavily weathered version)

[Sandra1976]

Made it through pre-app. Got a list of some doable fixes and requests for some detail shots. Will work on that. Then the next stage comes (no idea whether this will be the final approval stage or not). We will see...things are looking good.

It's getting real serious. Final stage of the application process. Hope I will make it...fingers crossed.

Had my very first outing on a con with this kit. Sadly, the jetpack lived only for a short amount of time. It got crashed by our car boot lid. The Mercs told me about Epoxy glue, which I will try. Hopefully, the rocket will be more stable with that stuff.

Also, I decided not to take the jetpack to London next year. Too bulky and too risky. Also, without it, I am pretty sure I will get by with cabin luggage only. So no worries about my kit flying to Singapore or Buenos Aires.

Otherwise, I had a blast. Never thought this could be so much fun. So many happy kids' faces. This was worth all the effort IMO.

I just got in my confirmation of approval with the Mandalorian Mercs.

My thanks for all the support I received on this forum. You played a big part in achieving this.

Now, it is time to bring joy to the world...as Boba Fett. What a journey! Hope to see some of you when trooping.

Awesome job and great tips on this build!

As the main goal for this build to have a life-sized version of this Boba Fett in my crafting room (girl cave?), I thought it would be appropriate to show the result of my paintjob of Boba's 3d-printed head:

And for a little bit of fun (I may have him actually like this from time to time):

To really finish this off, this is Mr. Fett in his full glory:

I really like how the mini diorama turned out, I tried to mimick Tython a bit. The figure is also approved with the Mandalorian Mercs as booth decoration. The upper half is well-jointed, I can make him turn and hold his arms in different positions (sadly, this is a bit limited because those hoses are REALLY stiff). I think he will look really good on events.
