Boba Fett Empire Strikes Back Build Thread

Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

I finally got my ee3 kit. Take note that there is a lot of clean up work to be done on these kits but after all the prep work and some good paint, the Webley & Scott no.1 mk1 flare gun portion should be able to pass off as looking realistic. Another thing to note is that the stock doesn't quite line up accurately with the beveled edge and the first screw hole. It works but it's not accurate. I will eventually be looking to get a new stock that has a more accurate beveled edge. I knew I would have to do some work with staining and sanding the stock in order to get the taste I wanted. I ended up using 3 different color stains with sanding and weathering in between coats and then topping it off with a semi gloss polyurethane clear coat. I'm pretty happy with the dynamic.

Finished up my first ESB EE-3 Blaster but I'm sure it will not be my last! This was actually really fun to assemble and paint. Might go back and look at some more reference pictures to see if there is anything I missed.

I know that the piece inside the flash tube from the heiland isn't actually in the original but it looks so cool I had to incorporate it. I did want it pushed in a bit so that you really have do be looking for it to see it. I think it's a cool effect.

You have some amazing painting skills!

Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

I did but Combatbaby will make you one at any time or you can hit up RKD for his version as well when you are ready to upgrade. They won't be going away any time soon, especially RKD.
 
Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

Is the Webley brass or resin? Love the heiland piece in the flash tube. Money!

Yeah RKD's looks like it's spot on to reference photo's but man is his pricey!!! $$$

Webley is a hard resin casting of an actual webley no.1 mk1. Thanks! Yeah heiland is the closest thing to an MPP without custom fabricating one. I just wish it didn't say Heiland across the top.

Really nice job on the blaster. Looks perfect.

Thanks Matt, much appreciated ;)
 
Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

I have a brass casting and frankly doesn't appear to look much different than yours. Your Blaster is painted better! Down side is the casting is too heavy.

Well that's the best compliment yet, that and just the fact that people are asking if it's a real Webley. Truth is I was looking at more references of real Webley & Scott no.1 mk1 pictures than I was the actual screen used blaster for my paint up. I really really want a brass casting of the Webley though. And yes from what I hear though they are ridiculously heavy. Do you have pictures of your brass casting?!?! Is it a Hand-Schaub or a Bookie?
 
Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

Quite simply one of the best Fetts I've seen - great job!!! Is your servo rangefinder kit from JC?

Well thank you muchly! I'm almost there, I'm working on my sidearm and a few more bells and whistles including blinking RF LED's and yes that is Justins Rangefinder servo kit.
 
Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

Sidearm Pulce 40 finished! I really wasn't too excited about painting this one just because there were only two primary base colors...but I forgot how fun the weathering process is :D

Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

Man you have some serious skills. What other suits have you made? You're in central cal garrison right? Can't wait to see your suit in person some day.
 
Re: Boba Fett (EMPIRE) Build Thread

Wow the EE3 looks AMAZING mate! Could you tell me where I can get a flash tube for it from please?
