Lowberg's Nomad Fett Build

[lowberg]

I didn't think I would be doing another Boba costume, but I have the itch to do something different so I'm going to be attempting to build the nomad tusken robe version of Fett. Excited to learn some new costuming skills with this as I plan to make most all of my own soft parts.

Going to start with the Robe and upper soft parts and tackle the hakama pants last.

Doing some Fabric research I've ordered some boucle wool blend fabric that is the closest I can find without being absurdly expensive. I think it will give a similar appearance once roughed up and pilled.

I was able to find a few photo's of Temuera's stunt double with the robe off, and assuming the undergarments are constructed the same I'm going to be constructing them based off them. I'm guessing the vest is some sort of fleecy wool and the shirt and neck cowl some sort of silk or linen.

Excited to dive into something different...but still Boba

First sewing challenge down! I built the robe from the boucle wool Honestly came out pretty good as I'm not very skilled on the sewing machine. I used a cheap $10 amazon jedi robe as a template, modified it a bit for larger sleeves and separate panels of material on the bottom.

Big boom stick printed. This thing is straight up stupid at just over 5 feet long.

Lol that's a big gun indeed (and I thought my DLT-19 was huge). Good start, you nailed the robe!

Some small updates as I wait for fabric to arrive. Been working away at the cycler rifle, using KR-Tek's files as a base and making some modifications, such as designing my own barrel end, greeblies ect. It's been a PITA to just prep and fill layer lines on this thing but it's almost ready for paint.

Accumulating some accessory stuff: ammo belt & holster, gloves and handplates and some tri colored rope to make the girth belt.
