Nice! How did you make the flamethrower unit on the left gauntlet? Is is plastic or something else? Was the clip on the right side of the collar armor a found item or did you scratch build that?
You might want to change the belt pouch layout though. In the reference pics, there are 6 pouches across the front ( 2, then a little space, then 4) and the remaining 2 pouches go behind the saddle bag on your left hip. See?
Hi,
I made a resin version of the Flamethower; here´s a link:

I am not sure about the pouches; I think they change the position of them on every pic. I think I have to revise the belt. Thanks for your help.

Here’re some pictures of my upgrades.
I’ve re-coloured the Bobamaker Flak vest into a light grey;
I also changed the colours of the Chest, Diamond, Cod, Shoulder and Collar piece.

And finally I received my brand new PP1 Ammo Belt, made by BBF.
Terry, I am so proud to call this belt my own, thanks man, it’s awesome!
I use the cape material for the upper pouches parts.

Good lord, I ache to see this thing assembled. Pre pro 1 is without a doubt classic Fett. It's even got more character. Everything else matches. But in multiple accounts, it's mentioned that Boba Fett won't get rid of a piece of armor unless it's beyond salvage. That means he'll have mismatched gauntlets and a ridiculous jetpack that matches nothing. ESB Fett is just icky, and RotJ is pretty nice, but too... uniform. He feels less like a person and more like a soldier. Dime a dozen. Pre Pro has the most heart, and 1 especially has that classic taste that screams FETT, and Boba_die_Wix, you've done him a great service. Thanks, I can't wait for more pictures. And is it okay if I pm you with a few tech questions?

You changed the right chest piece didn't you? It's the one thing that really stood out from your paint up. I've just seen in all the PP1 photos that right chest piece is just a whole lot more BLUE than the rest of it. Good lord, I need to buy a bucket already. I've tormented myself enough visiting this site everyday. I've been meaning to get started on my fett, but sometimes it's just too much to take in. So a bucket first. THEN worry about paints while I bondo the dent. Which reminds me, does anybody actually do a PrePro1 cast or anything? I mean, I could get a Jango, but it's been argued to death that the dimensions are all off. It's not really a big deal if nobody does though, I've prepared to dig deep for this project, I mean really, what's a 15 dollar thing of bondo? Pffft. That'll be the cheapest thing I buy for this fett. >.<
Also, Sven when I asked to PM you, I mean down the line, I've got no serious queries up to now. I was just making sure it was cool to ask you questions, you're one of the more active members I've seen, so I was just making sure.
Fettistics, it's okay to swear check this, if I missed one it's truly my bad haha.

I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but it's a misconception regarding the blue color of the the Pre-Pro #1 helmet and armor and this is due to the images which had an accentuated blue hue. I know that Boba_die_Wix (I really like your suit and this in no way a disrespect regarding your work) started this build more then two years ago and this was the accepted fact, but now we know that this isn't true.
The same blue hue is present on the Pre-Pro #3 image too:
And this is the 'real' Pre-Pro #3 helmet:
