Hey everyone, my name is Nate, I'm 17 and I'm semi new here after lurking on this site for a couple years without an actual account. I'm currently in high-school at the moment, but graduate this year and have some time to actually build a Fett suit after years of the big what if? and decided to go for it with this being my first Fett costume, Anyway, I'll cut to the chase below.
I'm planning to build the Pre-Pro 1 due to the uniqueness this costume has and how scarce and little is known about this Fett in general, while it being my favorite Fett variant due to the funky armor, I know there will be some flaws due to limited photos of the PP1 Costume but will gladly work through them.
I also have some questions about this Fett specifically the version 1 with the jaig eyes (not ears) any advice, criticism or help is appreciated!
The primary concerns I had with this costume were mostly pieces of armor being used on the other Fett suits, I've tried to find threads about the PP1 mainly and have only stumbled across a few making my options limited with this costume.
- Questions
- Are both Pre Pro 1's the same other than the moving of the eyes to ears and kill stripes on the helmet? From what I can tell nothing is different, but I'd like to verify that with you guys since all of you are very experienced in this and know what you're talking about and can pick apart even the smallest details that I didn't catch.
- The Armor (Chest, Shoulders, Knee Pads) the question I have is, Is it similar to the ESB molds due to the right chest piece having no dent like PP1 and the right shoulder pad having identical dents that of the PP1 or is it just a couple parts that are similar a long with other parts like the knee pads?
- The Helmet, Is it just a super trooper helmet with a big gash on the dome before the dent was added, since from my research at least, I can't find any other details or molds like with the ROTJ and ESB Molds where they had actual engraved damage.
- Gauntlets, Are the gauntlets also just the super trooper before they were painted, since both have the same extended black piece on the left gauntlet and right gauntlet details. From what I can tell, they look very similar if not the same, just painted.
- (Belt and Girth Belt,) Again I have trouble verifying the actual belt and have come to the conclusion that it might be flipped upside down or turned in a manner due to a wonky looking separating of the belt and an addition of having 2 weirdly located pouches but still unable to identify if it was whole different belt then ESB or just ESB with wonky addons. I also wanna ask if the girth belt is the same but just a brownish red rather then that eye popping red used on ROTJ?
- Soft Goods (Flak Vest, Flight Suit, Gloves) Are the soft goods like the vest, flight suit, and gloves the same with minor tweaks to ESB since the PP1 looks lighter then PP2 with a slightly darker tone of brown on the gloves and the vest looking slightly darker then ESB and the flight suit being a blueish hint like ESB or PP3?
- Cape/Poncho, The cape looks to be made of a medium canvas in a dark forest green?
Lastly I would like to thank you for reading this long wall of words that probably made you bored haha, and look forward to working with a lot of you on this side project that I've been scheming for years.
More questions and pictures will be uploaded once all this small stuff is cleared up so I can get the correct items, this will also be a slow process since this is a wonky suit with weird parts that come up every now and then.
