All Activity

Always down to hang with the ECG. I'll double check my calendar, but I should be good to go down that weekend

Chopper is coming with me

Is chopper going with you or is he going to be for sale?

Thanks @Backpacks Got Jets . Ive signed up for Saturday the 9th Morning Shirt 10 - 1pm. I took the last slot

Again, keep in mind this is the Mercs costume definition and standards. You can start with that but you should join the BHG and track the status of that CRL as that is the only path to 501st approval regardless of other club standards. At the risk of being repetitive, the path of least resistance is the published Mando S2 CRL and tapping into the expertise of Jerred and others here. You’re going to have to rework your existing components regardless of CRL but it at least removes the Legion administrative delays from the equation. Your choice, and good luck.

Do we have anymore information for this event? Such as the actual address and where we're to meet up before going inside.

HI all I message Sarra and she said this would be good place to start. https://mandalorianmercs.org/boba-fett-daimyo-the-book-of-boba-fett-s1/

If you're considering going chime in here so we can car pool or caravan daown.

The bounty hunter's guild will be in charge of creating the CRL Just that fact alone would make me not super hopeful to see a CRL any time in the short term. If you're dying to do a Boba Fresh the Mando S2 is pretty slick. If you can wait (which may be literal years) then eventually a BoBF CRL will come out.

Not sure how far along any CRL is for BOBF. But check the FB forums, I’m sure it’s a common topic by now. And thanks for understanding that we are not just harping on you. It’s best to get started in the right track rather then getting told later that you might be way off target. Research, ask questions, study references and most of all, don’t give up! You can do it. Just know that Boba Fett is notoriously a long build/approval process. Keep us involved, we are here to help. Best of luck my friend!

Gonna be epic! Can’t wait to see the final result!

I’m going to my storage to take pics of all my kits so I have them for y'all if you’re still interested in them and I have current pics of all them. I hate to have to sell them but health reasons have caused my ability to be in kit to be restricted and I can’t do it anymore.

Thanks all for the feedback. Yes I'm going for the Book of Boba Fett look. I'm happy to take a pause and can come back to this once there is an official CRL for it. Does anyone know if that's in the works?

Lookin good so far!

More progress to close out the weekend. I’ve had a lot of battles with dust and insects ruining great top coats, so I went ahead and setup a paint structure outside of my workshop: and broke it in by finishing the top coats on the abdomen section. Very happy with the seam work and finish on this piece: I also finished trim and paint on the cod, posterior, knee plates: Next up 🆙 is the final armor pieces I need to trim which are the thighs and shins. Getting closer!

Hey just checking in to make sure I haven’t missed anything.

I’m finally past a point where I feel closer to the finish than the start. A lot of delays recently for various reasons, including refining the finishing and paint process for each piece, but I’m definitely building momentum! First, I finished filling and smoothing the seams on the abdominal plate and primed the entire piece for painting. This is the last of the significant modifications for approval/TLJ and glad to be done with slurry: I also assembled and primed the ABS spats. I will upgrade these to the urethane resin ones but the ABS were far enough along I could check them off: Next, I did the Behr gloss white top coat on the forearms and hand plates: And I also repainted the yoke after adding reinforcement to the shoulders and the metal tab for the shoulder bells: With all that, I’ve got the difficult aspects of the upper body build mostly done, minus the details and strapping, and ready to start moving to the lower…

Hi Eric. As was stated above, the version of Boba Fett that it looks like you are leaning towards is from the Book Of Boba Fett. Which (I don’t believe) has an approved CRL yet. When you contacted me on Messenger, I didn’t realize that you were looking to get approved. I thought you were just making that version just for yourself. The most recent version that does currently have a CRL is the Mandalorian - Season 2 - Repainted (aka Boba Fresh or MS2). This costume is almost entirely different from the Book Of Boba Fett costume. Boba Fresh/MS2 is the version that I was approved as. If MS2 is the version you are meaning to create, then please reach out to me and I can help guide you to the correct articles of armor and accessories that you will need. Unfortunately, the current armor and accessories that you have acquired are based on the B.O.B.F. version wishing is currently not an approved 501st costume. - You can continue your build in this version, but you will not be able to apply for approval until (or if) a CRL is released. But again, if you meant to be perusing the build for the MS2 version (the same one that I wear), let me know. I can definitely help you get what you need to get this version approved. Just let me know. I’m glad to help and share my knowledge and experience. here is the link to the MS2 Fett CRL: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:BH_Boba_MandoS2_Repaint Let us know if this is the version you meant to start on and we can help you get in the correct path.
