Bandai 1/12 Boba Fett

[Scarecrow Joe]

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.

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.

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!

 

[DizzyStrmtroopr]

yeah definitely weather the heck out of that armor, backpack looks great

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

Yeah weathering is a must here, I just don't want to over do it.

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

For anyone who cares, the Boba Fett figure is finished. I will post better pics later. Im planning a diorama with Han in carbonite.

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.

 

[blakeh1]

Excellent! The weathering on the armor looks perfect

 

[jedimax]

Omg....it looks beautiful. Perfect job on the weathering.

 

[kuwahero]

Hopefully getting one of these delivered tomorrow. If I get a paint job anywhere near yours I'll be stoked.

Looks mint mate!

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

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.

 

[kuwahero]

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.

Recently got my Han in carbonite in 1/12 scale. Here is a pic with the Bandai Boba Fett:

Its a perfect match! Here is Boba appreciating it closer:

When painted it will make for a fine looking little diorama, IMO.

Fantastic weathering on Boba!!! He looks amazing...and yep, that will make for a great diorama!

what a little paint can do, but the cheeks should be dark grey only the top part rust color.

I followed the Bandai color scheme and it seems to fit the ESB Boba Fett helmet colors:

You are confusing the two variations that exist. The Fett with grayish cheeks is the ROTJ version. I made the ESB one which I like more.
