First note...The comment about not sure what I was getting was from a couple of weeks ago, but apparently I never hit post... My box actually got here a week and a half ago but I have been travelling for work so I couldn't enjoy it much. Easy approval according to my GML. Some photos at the end... I have a bunch of parts laying around so now I just need to make it fit and look a little better. 1. The helmet sits way to low on my head, I can pretty much swivel my head inside the bucket without it moving. Going to add a PASGT harness like on my Fett helmet to the inside for comfort and control. 2. Also need to cleanup the insides of the bucket. The 4 screws that hold it together were not trimmed down so they are like 1-1/2" long which is bonkers. Gonna trim them and put some acorn nuts on them so they don't catch on my balaclava. I also don't really like the chin strap. I may remove it or just tuck it away, not sure yet. 3. Add fans to the bucket. I got some Henry's fans in pretty quickly so I just have to mount them. 4. I may look into replacing the lens material as its super flimsy and occasionally touches my nose and deforms and it drives me nuts. I'd like to find something a bit more rigid that I can trim up and put in, but for now it works. 5. Need to work on a better suit up order. Right now it takes more help to get this on than my Death Trooper which is 10x more complicated. I think this will just be a practice thing. 6. Need to look at others suited up to see what "right" looks like. I don't like my approval photos at all as I can tell my ab armor is twisted funny and I'm picky. My handlers (wife and kids) do their best, but don't always know what to look for. 7. New gloves...Oh do I need new gloves. These rubber things are awful. Thankfully Dave's Darkside Depot is in FL and he was able to take my order pretty quickly. Not sure when they will arrive. 8. The tops of my shins press into my knees and its somewhat irritating so I may add some foam or something to make it hurt less. 9. As with my DT, the thighs hang lower than I'd like so I'm going to build a harness that goes over my shoulders. Belts don't work great as I have a bit of a belly and the belt just slides down my stomach, so I need the support higher up. Biggest problem is making sure its not visible. That shouldn't be a problem on my back, just at the chest level. 10. I picked up an iComm box and amp, so I just need to work the mounting in the chest armor. I may also put in a sound board for preprogrammed stuff, but we'll see. Questions for the knowledgeable folks out there. 1. For your undersuit, do you just wear something like an under armor skin tight suit and the armor over that, or are there multiple layers? RS Prop Masters sent along an under suit for free but its like a pair of sweat pants and shirt and was hot as heck. I'd prefer to just wear my under armor compression clothing, but not sure if that is too revealing under the armor or if another layer is required. 2. Anyone have a source on more rigid eye lens materials? 3. Any tips/tricks for suit up to make it more of a 1 man operation?

Not a whole lot of prep at this point as I am just waiting for the kit. I've been planning on mods to the kit, but haven't made it too far as I am not 100% sure on what I will get.

I've been working on a Boba Fett since May 3rd of last year and it still isn't done. Waiting is definitely a part of the game!

Hello, my name is Dan. I am in the Makaze squad of the Florida Garrison. I currently have an Imperial Death Trooper but also wanted an ANH Stunt. I put in my order today so now its just a waiting game to get my kit and start trooping in it!
