I took a picture of it each time I added a piece. Can you tell what got added each frame?

Tomorrow I will take some nicely lit pictures of the finished product.

Congrats! Looks cool set up in your room. One thing I noticed, the shoulder armor should go over the vest sleeves, not under. Looking forward to more pics.

Will the helmet not go any lower?

 

[OdiWan72]

Forget about the Fett...where do you live???? The few pics with the surroundings, house and the 3 or 4 (?) garages showing in the background look great

Expensive toy.

Looks really nice! As someone mentioned above though, will the helmet not go any lower? He looks a bit like a giraffe right now.

Damn! Nice. To quote Ferris Bueller, "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up, it's so choice!"

For me, I preferred to build my HIC and I look forward to building a Boba Fett someday.

Gorgeous, none the less.

Great piece..but the helmet must be lower on the neck.

 

[StarWarrior]

I agree, but that is as far down as it goes. I think I may need to cut an inch off the pipe.

Pipe inside helmet:




I really wish they had made the helmet more like a real helmet, and then had a head shape on the top of the torso that was on a ball joint. That way the helmet could have been more like the original Sideshow 1:1 helmet, complete with electronics and be wearable. The lifesize statue helmet does not have any electronics.

I may need to repurpose my other Boba Fett standalone helmet!

 

[bookface]

Yeah, definitely cut that pipe down a little, it'll improve the look loads.

Oh wow I never imagined that the pose would be fixed and that you would have no real degree of flexibility. I have purposely not looked at what this item costs but I'm sure it's not cheap by any standards. I would have expected the buyer to have been able to pose Boba in more than one position within a certain range of motion. I'm surprised and a little disappointed too. I hope you're not disappointed in this aspect at all StarWarrior, it's a wonderful item and a great addition to what I'm sure is a fantastic collection if the sabre rack is anything to go by!

It looks very badass. Congratulations!
