Picked up the flight suit, vest, neck seal, and pouches from Arkady today. Great quality for all of it. Definitely recommend. Webley scope also arrived from Fettastic.

I have the same flight suit, neck seal, pouches, and vest all from arkady. I had my local tailor hook me up. She was really nice I didnt tell her but once I finish my build I was gonna go make a surprise troop over there!

Is this distortion in the ear area typical of the Wasted Fett Fugly helmet? Is it something that is accurate to the ESB Fett (seems like I might see it on the other lineage helmets)? Sorry for the new guy questions.

That's okay! I had the same question.

Just for the sake of conversation, I was looking through references and saw this. I don't see the gap, but maybe it is lighting?? I do see a similar shape though.

I’m not super experienced at this but it looks like the angle hides it a bit. But it does look to me there is some sort of gap. Maybe someone else has a better idea

I love the media section here, but I was feeling nostalgic today so I figured I’d go old school and look at my old reference cds.
Actually found Jango, Vader and Sandtrooper ones as well.

These recent builds have inspired me and revived my love for all things Boba Fett.

The gap is there on both sides:
