"Now Boba you're going to stay in time out until you say you're sorry to Mr.Solo!"

Great build, and congrats on snagging the mannequin.
 
Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

Beautiful job, man! I find it hard to believe that this is your inaugural build up. Keep up the phenomenal work!
 
Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

So close now. I managed to finish up the main helmet and have now almost done the ears. Just need to add the white section on the other ear and then finish it off with a few little details. But other than that its done....And will probably be off to its new home next week as well lol

Ive now got the armour, helmet and vest all lined up and should be bought in about 2 weeks, and I may look at purchasing the girth belt this week as well.

Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

whew long time no update :lol
Thought I might as well revive my old WIP means that ive got some parts arriving this week and will be starting back up. So during those long wait periods you sometimes get waiting for something special, ive been doing the odd commission work. Sadly the helmet you see in the posts above was sold off to help finish up the Fett.

Since then ive been working on this particular piece, the customer wanted a accurate to screen ESB lid (minus all the wear and damage from the years its been traveling), and with the customers specific details and keen eye I think the helmet turned out pretty well.

Still got to add a few more bits and change some parts, then need to darken down the red with the clear coat. Got alot of big pieces now in the next few days, so wont be long till I can actually get this thing together.

Hey mate,

Awesome work!! :D

Question: How to you get the chipped paint look that you're performing so well? I could never get the hang of it.

Thanks,

Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

Its all done in separate stages, in what is known as a layered paintjob.

Basically you paint on the silver, then using masking fluid, paint over the sections you want the silver to show through. Then as you paint on the next layer and remove the masking fluid, the sliver shows through. You just then have to do it with every colour you see. Time consuming but looks good.

Hope that helps you,

Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

Thank you very much for those compliments, means alot.

Well I had a big box or two arrive this morning, and its some of the best items ive received to date. Im so happy right now

Yup a big ol' box of fine FP armour, and a lovely batninja vest to mount it. Im not going to go into the quality etc of it as we all know what Chris' work is like. I'll probably start trimming this sometime this week, and will be mounting it to the vest using Bobamakers tutorial.
Plus I got this bad boy as well, plus a few accessories to go with him.

One of Robs excellent helmets, the casting is perfect like all his work. Ive also got one of SSkunkys awesome helmet interiors and one of Booboo Fetts amazing helmet Skirts. And on route ive got one of Mojo's Borden connectors and a RC set up from Salamanderking.

So close now to having him finished, Just got to get the girth belt and blaster, then some small detail items. I'll leave all the thank you's and what nots when ive got all the parts and he's finally done. As theres a lot of folks who helped me out. And to top it all off I finally finished my current commission which I feel is my best work yet.

Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

Nice work Welsh,
Have you thought about fitting the interior with the correct workings ?
 
Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

You guys on here constantly amaze me with what you're doing. I wish I had at least the patience to do half of these things.
 
Re: SE ROTJ boba fett

To have your level of skill at 18 is pretty damn impressive. One of the best WIP threads I've seen. :thumbsup
