Update: Sprayed on the Emblem provided by JK3 ( thanks), I put bondo on the cod, added burn damage to the armor, put on the shoulder studs, and worked on my clone
Oh and this is how I made the Cod:
I first made the base peice out of Sintra. To add Dimension, I made a second smaller peice out of a bucket for the Center. I then curved it to my desire and glue it to the Sintra at an angle, with the the top of the Center peice being flush with the sintra. I then filled in the gap with interlocking ducktape strips. After that I added bondo over it all to get it smooth, hard, and seemingly look one peice.

Nice kit Fett4u, very well done. I had no idea there were so many Jodo's around here. Speaking of projects, I really want to create something similar to Jodo_Kast's grenades or ammo magazine on the holder that looks to be on a small square piece of leather on the right/front hip. What did you use to make those grenades or whatever? I've been trying to come up with a design that's fairly original, but I'm drawing a blank. I've tried medicine bottles, empty acrylic paint bottles, and the like with little to no success-so I need some inspiration. Can anyone throw me a bone on this? I'd appreciate it...

Fett4U,
Looking fantastic!! Just an FYI...The girth is brown. I tried dying mine and had zero luck, so I spray painted it and it turned out fantastic!!
Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have of it up close...
But anyway, please let me know when you are ready to start the belt accessories. I can tell you where to get the parts to the whole belt I made.
Keep up the good work. I am very impressed.

Thanks JK3, I'll be sure to pick up some brown paint on my next Wally world run. Well today I finished off my scratch made boots. They are not the best in the world, but its hard to find boba boots when you are on a budget and your feet are size 14+. I bought some cheap chucks from wal-Mart. I painted them added black canvas " closure flaps". I found some metal around the house that was pliable, glued on nails, and voila! Toe spikes. They only costed my about 15 bucks, materials, shoes and all. I also started work on my Knee armor today
They need a little touch up on the glue spots

Eric..
Get off your butt and build a Fett....or a custom. Or I will drive the 4 minutes it takes to get to your house and steal your Donkey!!!
Fett4U.. I would greatly shorten your toe spikes. Being that long is dangerous to yourself and others. The ones on most of the boots I`ve seen (including mine) are 75% shorter than those spikes.
Just my .02 cents.

Here is an update on the knees:
I got them back from bondo, sanded them, painted and weathered them. I also attached the elastic and velcro, now I need some darts. Oh and I for got to mention the armor is attached with Industrial strength Wal-Mart Velcro, and Wal-mart Magnets. I added some magnets today around the corners for a tighter fit than in the first trial wear.

Woooow! 
That's blurry! Not to worry though, cause if I shake my head fast enough whilst staring at the screen the headache I get doesn't seem to help one bit!
The rest of the pics look good though, nice progress on the armour.
