New to THIS Forum/Boba Fett Build

[Slave1Pirate117]

Hello everyone! My name is Chris Santangelo. I am new to this forum but have been a member of various cosplay forums over the years. I have LOTS of experience making stuff. When I was 12 I started playing in my dad's machine shop (I was lucky) building my own toys and props. Here is a picture of my shop.

I have done various builds were lost to the ages, sold, unphotographed, photographed and lost, etc. Here are a few builds:

Halo themed bike and helmet.

Jurassic Park Barbasol Can.

Brave Heart/William Wallace Baldric.

Jack Sparrow's Snake Belt.

I have my own pirate business where I make leather goods, sell pistols, swords, etc. here: www.jackdawslanding.net

I am going to begin a Boba Fett ROTJ Hero build with hopes of a 501st Level 2 Certification. I have always loved Boba Fett! (Who doesn't?) This has been a long time coming. My plan is to start with the base of the outfit: The soft parts like the flight suit and what not. During this time I will be purchasing the necessary components that I find as I go.

Parts found and ordered so far:
1. Working Casio MQ-1 Calculator
2. US Army Half Shelter Olive

Thanks for having me here!

Are you looking to get 501st approval or just doing cosplay?

 

[Slave1Pirate117]

I am yes. There are duplicate threads here in the introduction forum awaiting approvals. This one is supposed to be deleted. I have already started a build thread here (also awaiting approval. Sucks being a newbie on a forum) All Metal Boba Fett ROTJ Hero Level 2 Mission
