ESB Build (Short BH)

[hvacdon]

Very Nice Work....Looking forward to new build picks....

First layer of primer on the helmet. And darkening the boots.

Looks great. Sent PM about boots.

Finished my boots. The toe spikes are such a pain to install. They don’t fit correctly. Other than that and the front part of the boot not flat. I love how they came out. What do you Dents’ think?

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Top quality stuff you have! Fett4Real has a lot of experience and things to say about scaling of the Fett costume, though I'm sure others do as well. I know he did a 3/4 jetpack he intended to mold at one point, but I've been gone for a while and am not sure what happened with that.

The pack was molded by Fettpride actually, and one of the members here has it. He might be doing casts soon....

However its REALLY small for a male adult. For a woman or kid it would work though

Also on those boots.... who is your friend? Are they open to modifying them?

I ended up getting a NME Jetty. Great for my size.

I'm uploading photos from my phone. Sorry if they come out huge on the computer.

I gave him some insights on what to change. They can end up looking even better. But we shall see.

Loving this stuff. Everything looks nice, and it's cool to see folks finding unusual routes for usual things, like the ToEleven bucket and local boots.

Glad to see other short Boba's; it's always handy to see what armours they go for. For my first version, everything was scratchbuilt and I scaled everything down to 95%. I'm 5'6" and have a GMH I'm currently painting up, Fettpride v4 armour (perfect sizing for me) and I plan on getting the NME jetpack which I hear is the smallest readily available kit (and one of the lightest).

I'll probably be interested in the boots at some point, especially if the soles get flattened out. ToEleven's helmet looks like a good size on you. Do you know how it compares to the GMH?

Nice I went with NME jetpack (still waiting for it) I hope the sole gets changed and becomes flat. Hate the curved front. ToElevens kit is comparable to Master Replica and FPH2. So you being 5’6 it will look good if you have wide shoulders. I’m 5’5” with a 39 inch chest so it doesn’t look bad at all.

My local fixture finders is having a liquidation sale so picked up this bad boy that I will convert to a nice display bust for my suit.

 

[droidbait]

Test fitting my AE armor. I got the vest second hand so I need to trim a inch off the bottom.

 

[droidbait]

Worked on a helmet stand for my bust. Works great!
