Jango Progress
I figured since I was new I could give everyone an idea as to where I was in the process. Hopefully I could also get some pointers as I go along so that I know I am on the right path to becoming a memeber. As you can see from the photos I have a long way to go, but am bound to keep my progress from slowing.
This is my armor just cut out. Haven't done anything to it in this picture.
This is everything I have put together for my suit so far. I just go the coveralls and need to dye them yet and I finally got around to sanding the armor.
Just a closer look.
This weekend I plan on shaping the cod and shin armor.

It looks like a step in the right direction.... you'd have t dye the flightsuit and do a few other things to it.....
have you been over to the dented helmet? I've been away from it for a while, but it's a great resource.....
Can't wait to see you pull it together.... I always like the Fetts

what helmet are you using? it looks like a rubies, which I think may need some mods done to it, if not by legion standards, then definately by comfort of wear and durability issues. I'd HIGHLY suggest dented helmet as they have TONS of reference photos and guides for many things and will help you through the issues that you WILL encounter. I pretty much have them to thank for helping me turn my starfortress boba crap into Boba Fett. Her'es the link in case ya don't already have it.

TB 0101: What? I thought I had them perfect
Yeah, it's a rubies helmet. I already have many plans to improve it and am also planning on making my own. Like you have suggested I have already been and joined the dented helmet and have some great ideas on how to do both, modify and create. I figure the helmet I currently have will do until I make my own.
This weekend I think I'll be focusing on dying my flight suit. I've never dyed clothes before, so this should be interesting.

I could tell it was a rubies cause it's the same one I had, until it was left in the sun inder a bag and got all warped, I mean warped flat. It broke when I tried to bend it back into shape lolbounty hunter Naush wrote:TB 0101: What? I thought I had them perfect![]()

BTW, I think I'd coat in in a layer of chrome paint or something to REALLY make it shine.
Over the Weekend
I wanted to show what I was able to accomplish over the weekend and get any thoughts you might have.
My armor and helmet. The helmet has been repainted, I am still searching for a new visor though.
My first attempt at getting the right color for Jango's Flight suit. I don't think I got it quite right yet, but I am working on it.
Of course I am just testing dying methods on t-shirts before I actually do my flight suit. I want to make sure I do this right.

Haven't update with my progress lately, so I figured I'll show where I am currently at.
I have been working on a better helmet, one I make myself. Progress has been slow.
I got my flight suit dyed
I have the thigh armor done and shin armor almost complete, but no pictures. I got my cod piece today, so I'll have to paint that up. I am getting closer. I would like to finish before October so I can troop then. I see there is an event in Milwaukee, which would be cool to do. I'll post some more when I get further. [/img][/list]

As you can see it is coming along nicely. I still have to put some more detail into my guantlets and finish up my knee armor. Even so, I am pleased with the progress I have made. I am waiting for my mother to finish sewing the second sleeves onto my jumpsuit and then I am going to redye it. It was suggested that it was too purple and I think I agree. My goal is to finish by mid next month. I should be on track to do so.
Getting closer and closer. I feel like I am doing a pee-pee dance for this to get finished.

My vest and boots should be here within the next two to three weeks. I am anxious to get them because I hear that my place of work is looking into having the 501st visit. I would much rather be trooping than working that day. Until my stuff arrives I'll get my hoses complete and finish up my jet pack. Oh yeah and get my leg armor attached.
Can't...wait....

I was reviewing my post to see what my last update was, and noticed that one of our cat's seems to be very interested in what I am doing as well since he seems to want to be in every picture. Either that or he feels he's photogenic (sp?).
Anyway, I have made more progress and am nearing the end. I hope to have more photos up soon. Just need to stop soon and get more supplies to finish my project.

TK 895 do my parts look out of place? I know I don't have everything attached yet, but I thought I was on the right track. I could be very wrong. I also know that I am not as skilled as Turo. His Jango is absolutely amazing. he's like my hero
Anyway I'll keep working on it. Hopefully it'll come out and meet everyone's standards.
