Just joined in (aka. new guy)

Hi Guys, Ben here.

Just joined the board a few days ago.
Over the years I have been looking for the right Star Wars character that fit my size.
I'm the same height as Mark Hamil, so I was wondering if wearing Fett costume will look ok on me.

The the stromtrooper armor I got, only good as a display, and guard my display cabinet :wacko

So what do you guys think about a 5 feet 6 inch Fett ? Anyone with around the same height ? Suggestions ?

Looking forward to learn from you guys.

Personally, Id say custom mando for you're height, or Boush. If I wasnt doing Fett, I would do a Boush costume. Just my .02

Also, welcome to the fray, friend.

im 6'3'' doing a fett...nice scout trooper helmet

 

[dsonik1]

Hey carves, if your thinkin bout getting rid of that scout helmet, you should hit-up TehElite. I think he's buildin a biker scout( might help fund ur project)

Thanks for the respond guys.

What is a "Mando" ? I read in the forum people are doing Mando, but never occur to me. Is this some kind of Fett variant or bounty hunter variant ?

dsonik1 - I was thinking about it. Maybe after I got my MLC helmet, I will let that go.

 

[dsonik1]

Mando = Mandalorian (Jodo Kast, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, etc., all mandalorians) Problem is, not much chance gettin 501st approval with custom mando. But Boush would get you a BH number.

In the end, though, do what makes YOU happy. To hell with other peoples perceptions. If you wanna do an accurate Boba, who cares if the height is a lil off?

TDH will be here to help, either way.

dsonik1 - I've seen some Japanese chick wearing a GT Stormtrooper armor, and she is 5' 4". So she cut lots of plastic to make it fit her. I tried to find the pics in the web, but now I cannot find it. Anyway, in the end, she did wear it and troop with it.

Thanks for the encouragement thou

Gene - That is sooo impressive. I liked it
Which helmet did you wear ?
I guess now I need to cash in my undervalued stocks and get a Boba cheers

 

[TD2253]

Thanks Ben! That is a Sgt. Fang Mystery Helmet which is reinforced with fiberglass on the inside. I'd say go for it!

Your wish is my command

The trooper on the right is 6' and the left is 5' 4".
