ESB Boba Fett helmet showoff

[godaiking]

With all my work on other projects, I totally forgot about this one. Almost got the wear scheme down. Just need to do the back, clear coat it a bit more and do some buffing with steel wool to achieve the worn look.

I like how it's coming along now though:

Did you go topical, or layered with the paint?

Well, it was all painted on by hand so I guess that qualifies as topical? I used silver as a base. After clear coating it and buffing it with wool, the paint job will be nice and smooth (and flat).

Amazing paint work and weathering! Especially if its topical. Quality weathering really makes a fett stand out. Took me 4 or more full repaints to do my fett..and its still nto that good. :thumbsup

Thanks again guys. For some reason, I didn't receive the same reception at the Boba Fett forum (dented helmet). Oh welll....:unsure

Well, it could also double as the Special Edition Fett (which used a ROTJ costume with a ESB helmet in ROTJ) but I hate that ugly crack on the left side.

Excellent looking ESB! My favorite of all the Fett buckets.

Hmmmm, I don't know why because this is a GREAT paintjob! I'm a member of TDH who posts often, and I don't remember seeing a thread from you. I'll have to find it and give it a bump. I'm sure everyone will appreciate the detail.
