Newbie Boba Fett build - Scooter - Tuesday 21-Oct-2014

Gidday all. I'm a newbie after finally getting excited about seeing Boba Fett at BrisBricks earlier in the month. If anyone has some advice on where to start, in particular the armour for the Fett costume I would appreciate some input. Thanks. This could take a while but I want it done right.

Hi mate. I hope you got some photos with that handsome devil Wink

Head on over to The Dented Helmet http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/ and to The Bounty Hunters Guild http://thebhg.net/splashpage.php for all things Fett.

Have a read of the CRL as there are quite a few Fetts to choose from. http://www.501st.com/databank/BHG_CRL

There are a few really good armour makers out there shop around is my only advice.

If you have any questions please feel free to shout out.

Thanks Phantom. Just one question. Where do you get advice on weathering and painting of the costume?

Thanks

All on TDH mate. Thats where I got all my info. They have a lot of templates and reference images.

Talk about research. There's a bit in this costuming thing. Helmet ordered. About to get measurements for the soft parts.

Yol Scooter, well done on yr journey before u. You ll buy kit that suits, not suit change direction etc etc all part of the adventure. Im just about to finish my RoTJ then I'm going to post a thread after i fire my photos in for approval. The Dented Helmet (TDH) and BHG are both awesome. Great builders etc. Ive got kit from all over the world from Mexico City, Holland, Arizona USA etc etc Ive a tonne of kit that i didn't end up using as I went from RoTJ SE to straight RoTJ so fire me a PM before u buy stuff and if I've got it I cud help u out and reduce postage cost and time etc etc. have fun and enjoy the journey not just the destination
