SHOWOFF: Chick Boba Fett! done!

[Astro Builder]

It's ultra cool. If I had seen that costume on Halloween, I would have thought it highly original. Nice work.

Hydra's is gorrrrrgeeeoouuusss! There's a lot more creativity, time, and effort visible in that one.

I've been a long time Boba fan, but not nearly as committed as the lot of you.

I wanted to do something recognizable for Halloween, and still do the hardcore costumers justice with some detailed and more accurate bits. It was a big hit!

Anyway, yes, apples and oranges.

vitegeist, Like I said your suit is a great start... I know you wanted to get something out in time for Halloween, and you did very well for someones first custom Boba suit.... :cheers

I know that if you attempt another or improve this one, you'll be one to look out for.

my post wasn't meant to offend your costume.

I know life comes first... anyways I hope to see more of your costuming skills.

looks great,
good job!

 

[vitegeist]

d'awwwww thanks everyone!

I had so much fun making it., but I'm gonna take a bit of a break from costuming for now.

My jetpack is .... a bit defeated.

Awesome job! I recently started my first fett costume (a custom so that I don't have to be too accurate) but when I saw yours I wanted to trim my armor down and make one for my wife!! and maybe my kids too! Great job you must be very pleased.:cheers

I usually dont like the boob armor, like the stormtrooper stuff, But this looks awesome. You gotta be committed to make a costume like this, Yep your a nerd lol.

Vitegeist, if you're still really wanting to have a jetpack, don't fret. I'm starting on a small run of kids sized jetpacks, which might be the perfect fit for you. Let me know if you'd be interested in one, and I can send you the approximate measurements.

thats really good looking. but the armor seems incomplete.i dont know what its missing but its something definite

 

[vitegeist]

thanks Jango72, but I'm gonna hold off on further work for a while.

mandalor - the armour is not very "protective" so it is missing its fundamental purpose (i.e. not very good at deflecting blows to vital organs!) but a piece could be added to the lower sternal part perhaps.

Boba Pat: the boob armour is moulded somewhat but it's not exaggerated like the fully formed chest pieces. I think even a full chest piece that had slightly more subtle boobage would be less "in your face" than the classic femme stormtrooper chests.

and thanks cal196 - it was tough for me having never made an armoured costume, but with the help from DH and the wonders of a heat gun and latex masking fluid, it came together nicely.

To be honest, if this were REALLY the Star Wars universe, and you were hunting me, I would prolly be distracted long enough for you to take me out before I even had a chance to get my guns drawn

 

[cal196]

Ya liquid mask is one awesome product. Now that you have done it once. Next time will be easier, I must have made 6 Boba Fett suits before I was happy. Not that there is anything wrong with yours at all. Its just experience for the next project.

I have made the Mando Female Chest armor out of this, Turned out pretty good.

 

[fleetworks]

An excellent job to both ladies.

 

[Geektress656]

Hey ... so ... I'm a little late here, ya know ... to be watching the progress, but this looks awesome! You've given me a couple of ideas for my own costume!
