Hi yall! I just started my first ROTJ Boba for SWC 2027! Looking for highest possible accuracy within a $2000 budget (501st membership is a lower priority at the moment... just looking to get it done in time!)
I have a 3D printer that I just got for Christmas (Bambu P1S), so I'm looking to hopefully use that to print the armor.
I did some research in the forums for a couple of hours, and here's what I have so far for potential vendors. LMK what you think and if there are better deals out there, I'm open to feedback!
Armor (Helmet, Armor, Gauntlets): MinuteFett (3D Files)
Flightsuit, Flak Vest, Ankle Spats, Cape, Utility Pouches, and Neck Seal (All unweathered): CB Props
Gloves: Bobamaker
Girth Belt: (?)
Leather belt with pouches: CB Props
Visor Clips: MinuteFett
Jetpack: RafalWorks
Metal Rangefinder: MinuteFett (I assume this replaces the one included in the 3D files?)
Shin Tools: RafalWorks
Shoe Spikes: RafalWorks
Jetpack Harness: CuchoGalaxy (etsy)
Visor: Welding visor replacement shield (prob on Amazon)
Helmet Padding: (?)
Tubes for gauntlet: Braided vinyl tubing at hardware store (not sure how to attach it to 3-d printed gauntlet)
Paints/brushes for weathering and base coats: (?)
I'd say the two pieces I'm most concerned about at the moment are the soft parts (especially quality of flight suit from CB Props? If anyone here has experience with them, I'd love to know), helmet padding, electronics, and shoes.
Any feedback is appreciated and I'm very excited to finally be starting this journey!
