My Boba Fett suit thru the years- pic heavy

The sizing doesn't look bad at all. Very impressive work my friend.

BTW I also like how you weathered your armor. Alot of armor looks very pristine, but your armor looks very well weathered. I really like it. What all did you do to it? :thumbsup

Thanks a bunch for the comments fellas.

Mr. Stripes-

For my armor, I started out with primer, then silver, sanded down, did another layer. Masked out all the dings, scratches, etc with the mustard method(still my favorite :lol) I used spray paint to do the base color of green with (can't remember the brand or color, but found one on TDH that other members were using that was close). I also used various shades of green acryllics until I felt I got the correct hues. Did some black washes and dry brushing. Then, to top it off, I put the pieces in a box with a bunch of sand and shook them up! :love Just to try and get that real worn in look. Also, I used a lighter to get scorch marks on some of the more prominent dings. I did give the armor a clear coat and lightly buffed that down to get rid of the sheen.

Hope that helps!

Thanks again you guys.

Great thread.

Boba is one of the best and meanest looking behind vader and troopers of course.
TDH is a great resource and helpfull sight.
KNowledge is power but it does put a massive dent in your wallet.

Brilliant looking fett.


Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this "tour through history" of your builds.


cheers
