It's been a while since the last blog entry, but I've not done much worth mentioning. I've repaired my Vader Chest plate, built a E-11 blaster and a Vader neck seal.
But today I came home with a big box standing by my door. I opened it and, behold, my Jango Fett helmet kit.
Yesterday I also recieved gloves for my Jango. They are womens gloves, and need a bit of modding, but I think they will do the job.

Oh no! Another costume build!
And if you thought I was satisfied with two costumes, you were wrong. I'm now working on two more. One of the new builds is going to be a secret, so I won't blog so many pictures here. All I can say is that I've got the "helmet", the softparts and weapon. Now I need the belt to make it complete. I also need to make the suit and fix the helmet.
The next project is a bounty hunter. The father of the notorious Boba Fett. I'll be making Jango Fett. For my birthday, my GF gave me the BM CC helmet. Looking forward to recieving it. It'll arrive in September. CC stands for Cold cast. It will have a top layer of aluminium. That makes totally screen accurate, and won't need painting, except for the blue. IT'll be gorgeous.

Progress report 19.02.09
Now that I've recieved my body suit, I have started getting things stuck to my body. I've added straps to my chestbox to make it sit, and I've added straps to the shins.
Now I need to make that shoulder armour sit tight and not go everywhere and rise up on me. But that will have to wait for when I get my shoulder bells back.
Here I am in most of my glory.

Darth Vader leather suit has arrived
YES! My tailor made leather suit has arrived today.
It's hot as summer on Tatooine, but sweet oh so sweet.
Here you can see me sporting it.
The mesh in the back is for ventilation purposes. I can't even imagine how Dave Prowse felt during the shoots for Star Wars.
Missing for a complete vader now is the belt, cape and robe.
Belt is on it's way.

Dark Lord progress
Been a long time since I updated this blog.
And as time has passed, I've gone and gotten a few more parts for my Vader.
What I've got so far, as you can see from the picture, is this:
Helmet
Chestarmour (Shoulder bells are returned to be repainted ANH style.)
Chestbox (Need to work on the strapping)
Gloves
Cod-piece
Shinarmour (Need to work on the strapping)
Boots
MR Lightsaber
The leather bodysuit is coming any day now, so I'm really excited. Made in Argentina after my measurements. Should be a perfect fit.
I have also several pieces for my belt in order. I'll make all the electronics myself. Exciting.
