Boba Fett costume parts (Page 1 of 3)

boots are easy, jet packs not so much. well for the boots i've noticed at the bowling their shoes look really similar to fetts boots, you could get a pair change the color to match fett, and replace the sole with a maybe a boot sole or, well just a bigger sole thats flat, as for spikes... I dont know, with my boots all i've managed to do is get little saw blades in them. if you know how to weld and u got a welding gun that might be easyier.

About the jetpack, I'm making my own. It's coming out pretty good actually.

Hey, Gustavo, got any pics of that jetpack?

Last night I got a pair of boots to be converted into Boba boots. They are nearly perfect for it, and they were only $8.74. So, if you want to convert a pair, I reccomend these. You can get them at Target. But they are signifigantly more if you get them online.

Ok cool I just made my photobucket account. I will post my pics on it and provide a link in the near future.

i made my jetpack by just building a wooden frame to roughly the right size and shape, then i stretched some sheet alluminum around the outside for a smoother metal look. The nozzles i used some pvc plumbing fixtures, lol and as for the missile i couldnt find any thing lying around that resembled its shape, so do you remember those dorritos 3d's? and how they came in those little black plastic tubes? well thats where i got the missile part. all in all the jetpack is pretty unique in its overall design, its not an exact copy of a fett pack but for just a mando it works nicely.

I'll take some pics tonight. Yeah the alluminum is very nice because it saved alot of weight. I'm not too sure what kind of wood it was but it was almost like panneling, like fiber board or something. I stenciled the shapes i needed onto cardboard templates then transferred them to the wood to make like a skeleton. I found the alluminum lying around in my garage but its almost the same rigidness of like alluminum gutters, so it was easy to put on the frame. then i just spray painted it.

I actually did it all from my head suprising enough. I had a little boba fett action figure with a tiny jetpack that i glanced at for the overall shape, but other then that it was just by memory. I mean i've seen Return of the Jedi and Attack of the clones countless times just to watch Boba and Jango lol

does any one know how to make fetts gauntlets please I really need help on this

Best thing I can do is give you the actual gauntlet templates.  You can use Sintra (PVC foamboard) and cut the gaunt pieces out of that, then glue them together using PVC epoxy.  Cover with Bondo, let dry, sand them smooth then paint and your good to go.

We've got quite a few members who have dome scratch built armor pieces, so hopefully that can help you guys out.

Yes, it will.  However, you need to put a different T-Visor in it as well as install a craft ring around the inside bottom to make it flare out like a normal Mandalorian helmet.  It's common for our costuming members who are starting out to use a Rubies helmet.  It's a great starter helmet

Actually, there is a new tutorial on our site for making armor out of poster board using newspaper and modge podge.  It's perfect for kids who are still growing because it's a fairly cheap way to go.
