Hello everyone,
I am yet another aspiring Boba Fett hailing from the 501st Legion (Florida Garrison-- Everglades Squad). I have not yet committed to the build; however, Fett has always been an icon in my eyes even prior to joining the Legion. I very happily "settled" for a TK as my first Legion costume and have since also been approved in a Scout and ROTJ Royal Guard. After more time and experience in the Legion, I decided I might be ready to take on one of the most difficult costumes in the Legion out of a love for the character and its design. Specifically, the ROTJ SE (easier color definition) or ROTJ variant.
All that being said, I have already begun ample research here and on the Dented Helmet forums. I have come to consider the seemingly more well-known and established vendors such as the WastedFett and BobaMaker. Nonetheless, at the suggestion of a squad member, I have also been trying to gather information on a vendor by the name of Carlos Estrella.
If anyone knows of him or has sourced parts from him, please feel free to message me or post here (if permissible) with feedback. He manufactures both ROTJ and ESB kits. His price is almost too good to be true, but his work seems reliable. I have heard of him previously through his production of other 501st-approved costumes (TK's and TIE's). The following are photos sent in response to a squadmate's inquiry about his ESB Fett kit (including armor, soft goods, paint, boots, and EE-3); if not allowed in an introduction thread, please feel free to remove. Thank you.
For more photos, I have also located a build thread on the BHG forums from a member of the Italica Garrison that uses Carlos' ROTJ variant:

Just trying to navigate this wealth of information. Starting out, as you all probably know, is extremely intimidating. Thank you for any and all assistance!
