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

[Jetpackfett]

Jetpack looks sick! Must be incredibly satisfying to see it on!

 

[Krewkid82]

Today is a good day!! I received my bucket from AFFO$ one day ealier than expected! Its an awesome paint job dude thank you!! I also received my ee3 strap from Diny Djarin!

 

[Jetpackfett]

Wow, that paint job is just a work of art! Looks beautiful!

 

[Krewkid82]

I know dude I can't stop starring at it lol!!

 

[full metal fett]

full metal fett 's hooks and clips are the way to go!

I'd totally go with that. I deliberately over engineer them so the last thing to fail would be the clips and hooks. I deliberately made them from thicker metal than is seen in the reference and include a internal plate to act as a internal reinforcing washer, basically you'd have to pull a inch and a half plate through the jetpack to make it fail. Not impossible,but not likely

 

[Krewkid82]

Well they finally came in!! Thank you so much Full Metal Fett! These hooks and clips are the real deal!! I also purchased your divers buckle..no complaints there at all!

 

[Krewkid82]

I wanted to also point out this man's work! If any of you have had a chance to get anything by AFFO$ just know it's the best youll ever see! I got the helmet liner installed from white shadow..thanks dude!! I still gotta order the lights and servo but it going good!

 

[Krewkid82]

Dang that was fast!! Just got my jumpsuit back from the tailor 10 days early!! I did a quick try on with the help of my wife and I got to say this build just keeps getting better and better! I can't wait till my gloves arrive from Mike M. While I wait for my armor commission that AFFO$ is completing ill have to start weathering the jumpsuit, painting my boots, and painting my blaster in the coming months. I still need to order a few things here and there but so far progress is going great!

 

[AlphaCloneFett]

looks great! maybe bring up the jetpack higher so that the tip of rocket lines up with the range finder like your profile photo

 

[Krewkid82]

Got my gloves from Mike M. Hot damn these things are accurate!!! Thank you so much dude I appreciate you!

 

[Krewkid82]

Dude there is just something about any Boba Fett costume!!! My wife wanted to try it on! Then I put it on and did a photo shoot

 

[Krewkid82]

Just a small little update. I received my rangefinder light kit from JC27 and got that installed today. AFFO$ also has sent me an update photo on my armor. Cant wait till he gets it all finished. Im like 85% done with this fett build all thanks to this awesome community of dedicated guys and gals. More progress to come!

 

[MMcFett]

Looks mighty nice!

 

[Krewkid82]

Thanks MMcFett for providing me with this armor set dude I greatly appreciate you!

 

[MMcFett]

I'm glad to see it going to a good use!

 

[Krewkid82]

Another armor update: AFFO$ has sized the stencils to the RKD armor. Next step is the liquid masking before he lays the yellow down!

 

[droidbait]

So cool!!! Short Fetts represent!

 

[Lilac Fett]

So far, so good. I have those exact same plates for my SE Fett, though they might be a tad small on me, I do like their shape VERY much.

 

[Krewkid82]

Another update from AFFO$: He has laid down the liquid latex mask and painted the armor the appropriate colors. Next he will peel the latex away and start the next paint layer. He said he will also be putting the base layers on the shoulder bells. So exciting!! More to come!

 

[droidbait]

Awesome, I also liking that PC rig in that pic!
