PigElectric's ESB Build Thread - Approved! BH-43666

Update - I am approved. :) BH-43666 !!!

Very intimidating posting a build thread here but someone suggested I should do so. TDH is easily one of the nicest and most supportive costuming forums I've been on.

Bought a collection of parts from a friend, thinking it was 'close to done'. Oh. The naiveté. How cute. :lol: That was two years ago. :oops:

If it is helpful for people, I can provide links to some of the places I sourced parts.

I keep a list of everything and it's status.
This list clearly does not show all the ADDITIONAL costs that come with a Boba (paints, brushes, infinite patience, etc).

I'll start posting pics in the next week when I have time :)

Love your list mate, great idea...and I second how nice people are here compared to some other forums where many are elitists and not willing to give you the time of day

I'm still in the sourcing parts stage and thought I was doing a ROTJ costume but the more I look at ESB, I want to do that version now.
 
Great list. Look forward to pictures. :)
Sorry to hear that some gear was stolen. I know many vendors are also trying to meet celebration dead lines. But have you tried Boba Maker for the holster?

Puttin it together.... looking up tons of threads on here for 'how to attach'.. various things............. oi!!
 
Some more ways I tackled some enhancements:
1. Used heatbond tape to affix a pocket for my battery pack on the vest. You can also see the nice lil button hole I made for the wire running through.

2. Showing off the buttonholes I made on the flak vest to run the straps through (I taught myself about 15 minutes earlier.. don't laugh at the imperfections, I'm so proud of these damn buttonholes lol)

3. Took a curling iron to the horse hair - it had gotten frizzy over the (cough) years (cough) that this build has been going on.

That's a great idea making the pocket with the heat bond tape !! The button holes look like a expert button holer did them !!!
