Journal of my Book of Boba Fett build.
What I've invested in so far.
ETSY
=====
Pants, shirt and vest from KohiEnterprises. It was made to measure but a couple of the measurements asked for and supplied didn't match up in the end. Their sizing chart could have been easier to understand. Build quality however was really nice. I need to get the vest shortened by about an inch or so, and the trousers need to be taken way in. I wear a 36 inch waist pants and I'm pretty sure I got a 42 (abdomen diameter, not waist size) from the measurement supplied. Shirt sleeves are the same twill as the rest of the suit, and not the ripstop material. The kama was also the twill material. Despite the sizing issues though the price was exceptionally reasonable for what I got.
Raw silk:ordered from Amazon I think to make the scarf and new kama. Still Need to figure out what fabric to get for the inner liner.
Got a refund from Amazon for the raw silk because it never arrived from overseas. Disappointing. Now I need to find another source.
BOOTS: Accurate Under Armour boots in black.
Spats/toe armor/glove armor: Crowprops, and I'm very pleased with the quality and the sizing was spot on.
GLOVES: EBay black motorcycle gloves and a pair of brown police gloves for inside. The police gloves are SUPER tight though. I may need to see if I can exchange them for one size larger. I did upsize the brown gloves. I was sold on the black gloves, but I discovered that they're not quite right. They'll probably work for now, but will need to be replaced in the future as the ribbed sections are actually too far down the fingers for accuracy.
Helmet: for now, I'll be using my black series Mando S2 Boba helmet. Plan on swapping it out in the future. Ordered a replacement darker visor from Opleprops in Germany. *Installed the new visor. It's so much nicer/darker.*
Does anyone sell replacement more accurate ears for these helmets? Would like a new rangefinder stalk and slimmer ear panel.
Armor and jetpack: got a complete set including vambraces from 3Dcauldron on Etsy. Fast printing and about 95 percent useable without major work. The chest display holes however are way too small, so I'll be cutting those larger. Just started sanding and did a test fitting to check placement on my vest.
Chest display: came from Westaby electronics on Etsy. Looks really nice and came with display tinting stickers so you don't need to add smoked plexi.
Pistol belt. Man these things are expensive! I'm on a budget of sorts, so I did what I could. The main leather parts and holster came from Darmansprops on Etsy. Pretty decent work. And had FUNCTIONAL pouches with magnetic closure! Prefect place to store hotel key or beer money.
I still need to make the base belt to attach it to. The base belt will be made using some 6 oz suede and a fabric/rope kit from Crowprops.
Metal parts ordered from JJIndustries and should be here any day... If it ever frakking stops snowing!
Voice Changer: ordered from Helicalhypercom on Etsy. Also should be here soon.
Ordered a 20k mAh battery pack from Amazon. That should last all day at a con...
And last... Guns, guns, guns!
I bought an original flare gun, but am having a hard time deciding which way to go to do it in metal since nobody sells a conversion kit.
Ordered a 3D printed blaster kit from Traywick Designs and I couldn't be happier. This was honestly the best looking with regards to accuracy and details. The print quality is superb, has a moving trigger with all the rods and bolts you need and I can't wait to get started on that one. A+
And last... As a temporary filler until I can get a good one... I picked up the Nerf Boba Blaster rifle for like $50 off through Amazon. Somebody else posted images of one after repainting and tweaking the details and it looks really nice.
Pics coming soon.
