krewkid82's ESB W.I.P./501st shenanigans(BH-42090)

[Krewkid82]

Fett 2.0 is almost complete!! It's ready to troop this weekend for my two bday troops! (I had 2" foam in my helmet but I replaced it with 1" foam so it sits a little lower now) Last few things left to update are:

Touching up and weathering my jetpack
Recieve and paint ammo belt from Horrorshop
Dye my girth belt the correct color
Grommet my clothears vest
Tweaking the gauntlet hose
Sow and weather my half shelter cape
Recieve and mount my chin strap kit from
S-kyone
Purchase and sow Big Dane Jetpack Harness(I might find another option*)
Order and attach metal jetpack rings and triglide to jetpack harness from Full Metal Fett

When I finish with these last fixes I will update my W.I.P. with an accurate parts list of my build.

It feels so good to don the armor once more! Without further or due.....Fett 1.5 lol

I got everything ready for tonights bday troop! #57 as Boba since I started this thread. Im so stoked to don the armor once again, its been far too long. What an awesome troop to start out 2025. The Houston Symphony will be playing along side Empire Strikes Back. Hopefully we get to go up on stage...that would be too epic! It should be a blast I'll post some pictures later of the event. Stay tuned Fetts!!

Hit those knee straps with some weathering!

I also heard Wasted Fett might do a run of harnesses soon.

Did my 57th troop yesterday! ESB in concert was amazing!!! Seeing the movie come to life was crazy. My wife helped us handle. Definitely a fun troop. Doing again tonight!

 

[Krewkid82]

Back to back days at the Sympothy. Troop #58 in the books! My little cousin Casey helped us handle. It was his first time but he had a blast!!

Your kit is looking amazing! Going to look even better with that Clothears vest.

Dude i know!!! When I get the vest, cape, both belts, jetpack and helmet interior finnished im gonna be stoked!

Chin cup aquired!! Now its time to install this bad boy and finnish my helmet! I want to thank the many hunters that have helped develop this thing. I want to thank ord for shipping it to me and I also want to thank Nick for including the little handwritten note wishing me a happy bday...that really means a lot. What has been achieved for the fett community here lately has definitely raised the bar on accuracy when it comes to building fett kits. He even included a mini fig!!

 

[Krewkid82]

Helmet strap installed! My helmet is complete with all vintage parts!! I added the little block of foam under the hardhat basket because I didnt use the correct material for the basket weave. The material I used was the same as the knee straps so its super stretchy. I will build a correct one at a later date but im satisfied with this so far.

 

[Krewkid82]

The helmet basket weave needs some work so for now I went back to the foam

Oh I'm late to the party, it's nice to see the pic of them with the helmets, happy birthday bro!

Did a small update while i wait on my horrorahop belt to ship...painted my current delta 13 ammo belt with alittle brown and dyed my Woodman girth belt deeper red...next update will be on saturday when i get my new cape back from the semstress. Minutefett also came through with somethings that will arrive on monday! Just need to grommet my damn clothears vest!!

 

[Krewkid82]

Got my WW2 US half shelter back from the seamstress today she did an awesome job! She matched Spicyfett's cape perfectly. Mine is a little skinnier than his because I cut it that way on accident but I can still make it work.

I hung it up on the wall and put the projector on it to scale to mark the damage.

Spicy told me to use a few chisels and a hammer so that's what I'll do!

 

[Krewkid82]

Chiseling away like the Flintstones lol

 

[Krewkid82]

I like it!!! What do yall think? Now I need to distress it a bit

 

[Krewkid82]

Decided to work on the infamous invisible spurs I had the jingle bells in the Shin tool pockets but it wasn't loud enough for me.

I used 15 .05 jingle bells, elastic strap, and some sowing string and made straps with bells attached to go around my calves...I think I'm crazy
