Been meaning to post this up a while, costume is nearly done below are older photos. those parts are now fully finished and weathered, the project stopped to
it being too cold to paint, today I have started on painting the Jet pack, so hopefully photos of that soon.

Thanks Steve, It's a mixture of stuff BM, Man o War and Richies, some parts were brought off another member here, others I brought directly from makers
like Man O War, everything I have painted and assembled myself to be as accurate to the original as I can make it.

Nice paint job Tony , some look a bit fake but you really nailed the paint wear on that .Is it an ESB costume ? how did you get on with the jetpack , I
remember you posted a while back with some questions on it . Have you got an EE-3 for it as well yet

Thanks Steve, this costume will be the Boba Fett Special Edition version. You get the cool armour like the red gauntlets and jetpack colours of ROTJ but keep
the awesome ESB helmet. The Jet pack at the moment is a pain, everytime I try and spray it orange peels due to the cold weather, so I'm having to resand.
As for the blaster I was going to make one myself or get one of Si's kits but I managed to bag a MR Boba Fett EE-3 Signature Blaster, they have come down
from £499 to £180. Bargain
 So all that is holding me up now is the Jetpack.

Sounds good mate be sure and put some more pics up when the paint stops peeling ! After seeing this and some other posts I was thinking it would be good to
have some tutorials here maybe in the archives or in a seperate section ,might creat a bit more interest and i am sure a few of us could contribute something?
let me know what ya think

Sweet set up Tony , how many costumes you got on the go
, I need a good
kick up the back side to get my Fett Project back on the go , Nice to see you have got stuck in to the bounty hunter world.
How are the MOW Gauntlets for sturdyness? , been looking at getting as set since my ruffkin gaunts are cracked & splitting already and I haven't even worn them yet  , I look forward to seeing this take shape , it might
even get me in the mood to do more to mine , did you go to CAboots for your boots?
Thats one of the things thats got me stumped as I have heard so many reports about CAboots and accuracy. But saying that everything looks great so far mate , like I say I look forward to seeing this progress.

Thanks everyone, Ian Guantlets are good, very sturdy I've hinged them with a piano hinge and used normal velcro to secure the clam shells, Ind velcro was
too strong. Caboots can look very good with weathering, applying washes of thinned down paint can make a major improvement, there a thread on the DH about
this, I'll find it. You should finish yours off Ian ;) Steve, Tutorials sound great to me.

scratch...Cracking paintjob mate. Nice to see your paiting skills getting a good work out again as they are bloody good.
