McQuarrie Boba Fett Concept Helmet - Colour?

[PAULH]

Hi All. I've acquired a cast of the concept helmet and wondered whether there is a view on its colour. From checking around, I cant decide whether it should be gloss or matt white, light grey, or something else? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

As it was a concept that only existed on paper it would be up to you. But as the origin of Boba Fett was a "Super Trooper" I would lean towards gloss white.

Wasn't there some parade or something that had the white version in between ANH and ESB? I have some vague recollection of something like that.

Maybe that'll help you peg it down if my memory is correct.

Gloss white seems to be it. Look around 1:36 for reflections in the helmet and armor.

Check out over on the Dented Helmet forum, dedicated Fett site, they’ll know for sure [emoji41][emoji1417]

the McQuarrie concept is different than the above "Supertrooper" pre-production Boba Fett. Again it is ultimately up to you as it was never actually produced and only "lives on paper". For what its worth, I have a McQuarrie concept Boba Fett helmet as well....If I ever get to this project, I will be painting mine gloss white with very slight weathering.

Thanks Bradberry00 - I'll probably go in a similar direction.
