Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 10:15 am
I have officially started my boba fett costume on january 5th. Granted it was a very Minoooooote start, but hey... you hafta start somewhere right. I figure on taking about a year or two to finish it.
Right now, I have a few of the very small type detailed pieces and small prop ideas for the different items that he wears. My next move is to make the jumpsuit. I'm still trying to decide on the color of the jumpsuit. making it wont be much of a problem. My mother is a GREAT seamstress. She made my imperial costume in under a week.
But my biggest challenge is going to be the armor. I'm not quite sure how to do that. I've heard of Paint Cans, Vacuum formed armor, and a few other wierd but crazy ideas that just might work. I'm planning on making most of the costume from scratch. I'm not planning on buying all the pieces and spending a fortune on props.
I think that after I do my coveralls, everything will fall into place a lot faster and easier. I have a few really good websites - TK409's, The Dented helmet, Obi'wans jedi academy. if anyone has any more that they thought might be good to look at, just post. I would appreciate any and all help on trying to get this costume accomplished.
My biggest worry and hardest thing to get will be my helmet. There are a few types and styles out there, what to get??? I'm still researching. thank you all for your help and comments!!
