I got the jetpack harness set-up. I think the pack may be hanging a bit too high, so I may need to raise the jetpack hooks a bit. My wife took the picks quickly because I was worried the slits I cut in the vest might fray or tear as they are just that, slits right now. Need to get them stitched up before I mount the pack for more than a few seconds.

Some nice folks at the Dented Helmet agreed that the hooks are too low, so I will get those straightened out sometime this weekend. Still on the list of things to do:

Receive toe spikes and attach to boots
Order jumpsuit/pouches/spats
Attach hose to gauntlet

I got my rotj jumpsuit from arkady on tdh...listed under budget flight suit, I think. Real cheap, but awesome work.. she also does the rest of the soft parts, if you need them. I'm just down the road in lisle, if I can help.

I am actually thinking of contacting Arkady in the next month or so, so thanks for the review! I went to college at North Central in Naperville, so am very familiar with Lisle. Thanks for the offer!

Long time no update…

Change of plans recently….though my Fett remains about 90% complete, I've decided to put that on hold and complete a Biker Scout costume for entry into the legion! Have helmet/armor on order and hope to get it done this summer. Main reason I've put the Fett on hold is I want something that I can move around in easier without worrying about something falling off. I ended up putting my Fett on a mannequin and hopefully will finish it someday. Hoping to post some progress on the Biker Scout soon…just purchased an upgraded snout piece for the KS helmet I have on order, and purchased a rivet tool and some rivets yesterday.

Here's where I ended up with my Fett.

Still need a new jumpsuit, to attach the hose on the gauntlets, and a few other odds and ends.

Looking forward to posting process on my Biker Scout and likely finishing the Fett as well!

While waiting for my Anovos TK, I decided to complete my ESB Boba. Ended up purchasing MOW's two-piece jumpsuit and dyed/weathered it the other day. Also attached the gauntlet hose, set up the thrusters and rocket on my jet pack so they're removable for transport , and did a few other odds and ends. I sold my Master Replicas helmet and have a new one on order from a member on TDH. The flak vest desperately needs to be weathered as does the ammo belt, but it's getting there.
