I built a Boushh for my kid just last year, there's me and her just a couple weeks ago....

...and obtained my Collar Armor and Tanks from a guy calling himself Dark Shadow (He's over on the RPF). In an effort to save time he fully finished these for me and to get it closer to the 501st CRL I didn't have to change too much - only modify the tanks, paint only. Here is what I got from him (Helmet is from Sandman)....

For the Collar, I opt'd to add in the suede pad as per the CRL....

The tanks again I tweaked a little bit but they looked way different than what I got. Here they are before...

Aside from a little paint work I also stained the leather to give it that more orange-ish finish to it. He did a great job with the base, I just took it that extra mile.
Last year when I reached out to Scott - that's who Dark Shadow is. He was easy to get a hold of and it was about a month and a half till I got the stuff. My experience with him was that communication was good throughout the sale and even post sale. Not that it matters but he is out of Maryland. And he provided updates. Here is his contact info: icabel98@aol.com
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do!
