Dad Builds His Son A Lego Boba Fett Costume!

Via io9.com:

This Boba Fett Lego costume, created by Dented Helmet member CGS1 for his 6-year-old son, is one of the more technically impressive cosplays we’ve seen in some time.

A graphic designer for almost 20 years, CGS1 spared no detail in the creation of the blocky outfit, which is all but indistinguishable from an embiggened Boba Fett minifig (From the 9496 Desert Skiff lego set, specifically. That’s it in the top image, on the right, for reference.)

“The entire costume is built from scratch using photo references and scans I took myself,” CGS1 writes at The Dented Helmet. “The costume is built primarily out of sintra with pink insulation foam used to carve the helmet dome and a small amount of plastazote foam used on the tips and base of the jetpack rockets.” Which jetpack, it bears mentioning, is removable – just like the one on the minifig.
