So after 7 months of hard work I finally had my first troop as ROTJ Boba Fett. First off one of the goals to finish this was to see Jeremy Bulloch again but this time it would be me as Fett, and I finally got to do it,
it was a very small Con only about 50 trade stands so that gives you a sense of scale, it had a bunch of actors there but there was only one Gent I was there to see, and what made it even better was I was the only Fett there in fact the only other Star Wars related character was Rae from Force Awakens, so it was quite a personal venue, the reaction I had from Jeremy was brilliant he even asked what 501st legion I was from, I had to say sorry Jeremy I am Dented Helmet member
which he speaks highly of, we talked for a long while about the out fit had dozens of photos taken and even a small radio interview I was totally blown away by it all I could never in my wildest dreams picture the amount of attention you get dressed like this, I think it helped the man him self was stood with me
he gladly signed my small scale helmet at no charge (no this is big headed but) he said ''you are doing that suit justice''
Nothing but big grins on my face all day photos here and there, people hugging me, shaking hands, gasps, I have never seen anything like it with all the attention, it is nice to feel a bit like you are on a mini red carpet for a few hours as just a regular person under that helmet,
Sorry for the ramble but truly has been a great day!
This little lad was clutching his Fett doll and came up to me and Jeremy and asked, can I have my photo with you both please and that really does put a smile on your face
As for the outfit it worked perfectly physically and mechanically, everything worked as it should had no big malfunctions apart from the girth slipped a little bit but my spotter (Miss Jack Sparrow) kept it all in check
Changes I need to make after this first troop is to tighten the belt and darken it down more as it looks very red in photo's for some reason? but that's it, I will say to anyone wanting to troop that hasn't yet is install cooling fans as mine worked so well I could not be without them for longer than 2-3 min's, exterior audio pic up helps when people are calling you for pic's etc and the voice amp is a must when chatting it just makes things so much easier....
But all in all really thank you thank you thank you to all the information given to me from you guys you have made a dream a reality and that don't happen for a lot of people but you helped make it possible...
What next......well..... More... I need more of this!
