First Post-First Question

[Fett 138]

Hello, so I've been viewing this site for sometime, and I've recently decided to be Jango Fett for DragonCon. My question is whether or not I should start on the Jet Pack or actual costume proper first.

Doesn't really matter, it all has to be done. I skipped around, whatever showed up at the door first got worked on. You'll find yourself waiting for runs to be done. Do you have a budget, or are you going to get all the accurate stuff the 1st time?

 

[Fett 138]

No real budget, just whatever I can get my hands on at the time.
I'm planning on making the Jet Pack out of cardboard/posterboard type material. Thank God I have some few months to do this (I'm used to working on a time table of a few hours).

I would personally go for the rest of the costume first and let the jet pack be your final detail (a piece d'resistance if you will). who knows if I spelled that coorectly...
ANYWHO yeah, Jango was jet packless in the movie for a piece when Obi messed him up, and he is missing it in the Bounty Hunter game for a level or two, so hey it has been seen!

But don't for one second think that means it's OK to stop working on the costume without a :jet pack.
