San Fran, CA I MISS MY FETT!!!!

I found some pics of my ROTJ Fett Costume. But need to find the one with me and the whole thing assembled. Check the flicks. I Sold it to by my Canon Xl 1s.

Oh man, that kind of sucks that you had to sell it So was it something that you assembled (found someone who made the belts, found the helmet, etc.) or did you put together the helmet, form you armor, and sew the jump suit yourself?

I made all the armor and my mom did the suit. Jetpack, gauntlets and bucket were all in kit form and I did all the painting.I loved that suit.I went to 5 halloween parties that week as Boba Fett. People loved it. Some drunk lady almost broke my jet pack. She started to fall when she was taking a picture with me and used my rocket as something to hold on to. So I knocked he hand away. She ended up falling. That's what she gets boba fett is no gentleman, so I had to stay in character. But that was the most uncomfortable week of my life in that suit. But i do miss it.

Some day I will make another. I still have armor and gauntlets....

 

Great work! I'm glad you still have some pieces I have respect for Sintra armor since I spent quite a few days molding, filling and sanding my own piece on a recent project. The Boba Fett web sites/message boards were a huge help.

Man, I always dread the drunken accident at a party. You are right, she deserved to fall rather than ruin your jet pack! Lucky for you it was in character to push her hand away.

Yeah, she got it!
Are you speaking of thedentedhelmet.com ?

I love this site. Better than Ebay for me.

 

I think there was a message board off of dented helmet that had some good advise on using a heat gun to make compound curves with sintra. There is also a general page with tips on how to sand and paint sintra that was really well outlined at skaines.com

My result is this headband curved to fit my head and awaiting paint & rub-n-buff

I hope it will look something like this once painted

Looks flippin' awsome! Is this for Comic Con?

 

Uh, it was gonna be for comic con. But I'm behind schedule on making the shirt and the decorative resin clips that will have to go on the shirt. I hope the shrit doesn't take me as long as the skirt did, then I'm screwed.

I have not given up yet though!
