Im currently in a love affair with these Bandai Star Wars Figures, this is currently my second one. I also have a cool Sandtrooper waiting in line. I was planning on posting when it was finished but since I am near the end I will post some WIP images.
We start with the head:

The cape is to me the weak part in this kit so I replaced it with real cloth, to resemble the ESB Boba Fett:

Kit is finished but things are only getting interesting. Weathering started. I used the Jetpack to practice my approach. Wash done after paintinbg and decals were done.

Second wash and scratches.

Pastels to add dusty appearance and discoloration.

Started weathering and painting in the helmet. The sides were painted by hand a dark rusty brown color. The decals were not lookoing as real as I wanted.

Thats where I am now so I hope to post new images soon!

What you think?
 
Nice... I did a 1:4 Screamin' Fett not too long ago. One of the most fun and satisfying paint-jobs I've done. Have fun with this one!
 
I built, and love, the R2/R5 figs and your Fett pics are so impressive he's gonna be my next Bandai and replace Black Series Boba in my display shelf.

Great job.

Oh, and great call on the cape. Wow.
 
Thanks for the kind words! I will definitely take better pics. Next in line is a Sandtrooper and Han in carbonite just arrived for the Fett diorama I have planned.
 
Got mine today. Just need to get some paints first. I translated the Color guide earlier for anyone to use, if they want. The listed paints are from the Mr Hobby Aquaeous range so you will need to check for equivalents yourself if using other brands.
