A few things I want to fix on my kit would be to bring the thigh pockets higher up inline with the cod piece, shorten the gauntlet hose and add black cable and metal fitting, weather my shin tools more, hem my flak vest in place and add a pocket for my fettronics chest light battery pack...also I used velcro on my cod piece to hold them together, gonna swap that out for button snaps. Im gonna get with Dakota about buying all the metal jetpack greeblies, metal rangefinder stalk, metal wrist rocket. Get ahold of JC27 for a jetpack light beacon kit. I need to hit up 01Hawk for the correct dental files and I spoke with AFFO$ about finally repainting my jetpack to match all his other work. I have a few 501st gigs lined up for February so I will try and gradually do these fixes as soon as I can. My next step for my Fett is of course Infamous level so found parts here we come!! Budafett I'm lookin at you hahaha!!

I went to see my local seamstress after 2 years of working on my Boba! She hasn't seen any progress on it yet since she worked on it last and she absolutely loved it!! She asked me what my plans were with it and I told her about me joining the 501st doing troops for children and She thought that was the sweetest thing ever!! After this Sundays Troop I'm gonna take my flight suit and vest back up to her for a few more alterations. Move my thigh pockets up, hem my flak vest to the appropriate length, and sow a small pocket on the back side of vest. Thank you Mrs. Synn!!

Where would we be without our local Seamstresses and Alterations places? My local seamstress (Ms. Kimberley Ho) also did an incredible job on my ROTJ Fett soft pieces as well as my scratch built Jawa Robe!

Lord knows I cannot sew. Out of my family, my mother can sew but she's 1900 miles away from me. I remember when I was in 4th grade (1984) she went out to the local fabric store and decided to make me an E.T. Costume, and picked up this pattern....

Such a good memory, to this day she can't recall who she lent it to, but we never saw it again.
:confused:

Anywho....I digress.
