Not much to report ... final payment made to Boba maker - he is shipping me my jetpack and scuba harness. Also waiting on shoes to arrive as a special order (this is pair #3)
Then it's paint gun, paint shoes, weather cape and attach, drill holes in armor codpiece to fit my waist and we're done
I've started talking "casually" to my local 501st garrison, they want me to speak to their armorer to discuss my costume, but I think I am at the point that if they don't accept me ... I'll just not pursue it further
* they want me to join a "detachment" namely the Bounty Hunters Guild for approval? What's that like? They look super picky especially with Boba Maker's paint jobs ... now I am scared
** Yea, on BHG I see a lot of criticism for the gauntlet paint job I have, the shin tools need to be white with orange stripes, the center decal on the chest plate needs to be silver .....
