1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

I believe you can find the flare mod in the Fett mod thread:

You'll have to dig a little in the thread, though.

thank you lu

Your franken-fett looks great ec! Which body is yours on?
Im finding that the SS body is not so great when it comes to high/bent arm poses, his gauntlets keep pushing out the hands from the sockets when you get to a certain point.
I agree, SS did some great paint apps but neglected the major things, color/shape. I think my ocd is getting the better of me as well the more i fiddle with it.

On a slim TT.

Just curious, how does the Prototype Boba look in terms of accuracy? Other than the fact that he's all white.

Looks the same, though Im not sure if the triangles are painted or sculpted.

 

[eczamurai]

Can anybody give some tips on any mods that can be done to the helmet at all please? (or if anyone knows what page such tips might be on?)

Im not really liking the helmet, it looks a little too 'big' or something. something just looks off.

Thanks

Hmmmm, I actually really like Medicom's Jango. I was waiting to see if SSC does one, but I should just grab Jango.

Looks great. Who's the guy in the suit standing in front of Vader?

 

[scottyb]

Thats tony soprano. He looks really good im person those pictures make him look terrible.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Tony needs to eat some burgers

Or a fatsuit. They all wore fatsuits on Sopranos, but in the last seasons they didn't need them anymore at least according to the guy that played Bobby Bacala.

Its the pictures haha he could be a little fater but i have padded that body out the pictures give it the illusion he looks skinny.

probably a bad angle photo , but will take some more later today and upload . Also I am doing a custom Mandalorian using a spare SSC boba fett , total repaint and making up my own character I might take some pics of that later but post it on the customising forum instead

Here is a better shot , -- I made the wookie braids from yarn I purchased from spotlight ( a fabric and sewing centre) . The hardest part was getting the correct colours . The vest was an easy easy fix , just take off the plastic thing from underneath his jacket then take off the chest pieces. Then used hot glue to position the plates . This way , if you make an error, heat it up with a hair dryer until the glue melts again, and carefully peel them off. . In terms of the colour of sideshow , while I agree the armour plates look somewhat too light , the colour is correct .If you watch the BLUE RAY version of Empire , you notice it more when he is standing in the corridor waiting for Vader while they torture Han . The green is the same, but the logo should be dark blue. On the other hand, when he turns around , the back of helmet appears to be marine blue rather than green. Its actually dark green, but this is where the sideshow version fails. But I still like it a lot ! The belt peees me off though its 100% inaccurate. I have done the flare mod , and totally reshaped the visor to its correct width .

FOR ESB wookie braids : I am using smoke grey for the long braid , cream for the short braid and black with a red tie for the looped shoulder braid . I then used a Pet Hair combe to fluff out the ends of each braid .

heres a couple of shots of a custom bounty hunter im working on .
originally intended to be a complete repaint of the SSC boba armour plates. I was happy with the outcome of the chest armour but decided to make a new character using the pieces I had instead .

These were test colours, so when I finally decide to complete it , I will strip the parts down again and repaint them properly . It was just a quick colour test so its not my finished figure yet . The helmet had been modded but will be totally repainted once iam happy with the final colour scheme.

should I finish him or should I ??? This is the question I have been asking myself for months.

 

[joda76]

Finish him as said in Mortal Kombat!

 

[MidnightClad]

I like it so far I would say keep going. I have thought for a while boba would of looked better black with red highlights but just never brought myself to do it. Like what you have going on though. Are you going to keep a light colored jump suit or go darker?

It would fit nicely in Mass Effect. I like it.

I just picked this up from a fellow freak. This is my first 1/6 Star Wars figure and I like it! Sideshow Darth Vader Deluxe is next on my list.

Congrats Plastik! He's a great figure! Great futzing on him, too!
