Thanks for the kind words!

Another update!
Final sanding was done today and the rest of the small pinholes and areas that need filling will be filled today as well.

I guess i'd best get on here too.
Most of you saw my Jango Rubies bucket I picked up afew months back, well I now have the chest armor & flight suit being sent my way.
Will post pics when they arrive.
I'll be going custom Mando.

CD, you know Bobamaker is a brit, right?
His stuff is top notch from what I here. (I'll be getting my vest, visor & targeter from him soon!)

For those that are interested, here's his site:

Yep I figured that out hence the .co.uk in his sites URL. Everything in my costume will be scratchbuilt, The flakvest will be scratchbuilt so its a bit thicker than usual.

I know in the future I am getting a full bobamaker kit with all the goodies to make my own ROTJ boba.

The helmet has been getting prepped for a fiberglass mold of it tomorow

3 layers of wax have been rubbed on it. 17 more to go...

Guys, dont worry, I am still working on the costume itself and I am almost done with the helmet, just need to finish the details and the earpieces. I decided to scrap the molding route, as that would be too time consuming for me. So Ill just finish up the costume and join the brotherhood of the sith? lol. It is a sith geared costume.

CD, do you know where to get the motor for the targeting scope besides the guys on 501st?

That's where most people seem to be pointing.
I'm in no rush for it as all I have is the bucket, flightsuit & chest plates so far, i'm just thinking of picking one up further down the line.

Are you talking about the motor for the rangefinder?

If so, I believe hyperdyne sells them.
