Well, I've been working on this a while but I'm getting into the nitty gritty and I figured I can cross post here at TDH.
My BHG build thread is here: Sign In - The Bounty Hunters Guild
The goal is to build a 501st infamous Boba Fett ESB. As screen accurate as possible (a promise I made to Rob at Celebration Orlando).
I already have several costumes under my belt approved with the legion including some pretty challenging stuff so I know the drill pretty well, but Fett is a WHOLE other animal.
Step 1: I did ton of research and talked to a bunch of people.
Step 2: Find mentors. I contacted Rob P and Amy H (BHG DL) as my mentors from almost day one. Knowing that their opinion is largely
Step 3: LOOP IN MY LOCAL GML. Knowing that my garrison GML would be at least my Level 1 (Basic) approver, I run all progress by him as well. This should make approvals pretty easy (fingers crossed).
Step 4: Assemble parts, fit and ITERATE. I don't think anyone can get Fett right on the first try.
Challenges:
Proportion. As you'll see, Im Vader, not Fett. I'm 6'4" tall. I have an athletic build but the size gap between myself and Jeremy Bulloch was a lot. Probably 3-4 inches. This will create issues in maintaining the right proportion of parts and costume. Lot's of customization.
