Re: ROTJ BOBA FETT BUILD WIP (big pic heavy)

Did some more work on these parts.

I had to stop because I broke the last bottle of paint I had and needed to order some.
I did start making the boots grey today too
here they were

and here they are thus far

Put the studs on the collar and cod

The chestlights are also in and the backplate is attached to the Collar via the Studs.

The gauntlets are being assembled and prepped for painting.
I also started working on the shin tools using real found parts.
Stay tuned...

I made my own Boba Fett costume a couple years ago, and having made all the parts myself I can truly appreciate how much more accurate builds like this are, especially with Fettpride's parts. Great job on the painting so far, I may try to save up and have this done right for myself.

Could you please post a picture on how you did the modification of the right arm?
Did you use fibreglass or some kind of duct tape to get it in this pose?

Btw. I REALLY like what you did so far! Great work! thumbsup

Re: ROTJ BOBA FETT BUILD WIP (big pic heavy)

I fiberglassed it
i cut the arm apart ,added a piece of bent rebar to support it , then filled the hollow arm with foam and glassed over that.
I also cut the hand apart to get the fingers right.
they need a little more bondo work

Awesome work mate, I'd get you to repaint my armour, but you live on the other side of the world

That's looking great! Which mannequin did you use from ebay? (Maybe you said and I just missed it.)

Soft parts are sewn and en route to me

Re: ROTJ BOBA FETT BUILD WIP (big pic heavy)

The boots are just about finished.

Re: ROTJ BOBA FETT BUILD WIP (big pic heavy)

All of the soft parts arrived today from crazy4bobafett.
They are fantastic as always and I can't recommend her more.
i think these pics will speak for themselves

i have them on the mannequin for placement, they still need weathering etc.
