Back around the holidays of 2021 I was chatting with some friends when the topic came up of “what did you want to be when you were 10 years old and, if not, why aren’t you doing that now? A few folks said they wanted to be an astronaut, firefighter, policeman (back then it didn’t carry the stigma of today) or artist.

I thought for a moment and said, “when I was 10? I wanted to be Boba Fett”. So what was stopping me? Nothing really. That is when I learned more about the 501st legion and started my journey building my own screen-accurate Boba Fett costume.

This documents my journey – from the first orders to my awkward first visit to a con to its current state. Read and enjoy!
