Boba Fett Medi Mod

[McHaleyArt]

Modded a Marmit helmet, switched out the range finder, repositioned the shoulder armor, added a gun strap (as seen in ESB)and made up some thinner wookie scalps. Still haven't done paint touch-ups yet.

Darned ace figure, always one of my favs and I have to say the helmet does look good. Think I am gonna try it on mine and see what it looks like..

Had to see what it looked like on my Fett.

You can straighten out Hasbro's droopy range finder by heating it up a bit with a hair dryer, run under cold water while holding it straight and then brush on some nail Gel Resin to strengthen it.

great tip mate thanks.

medi helmet looks better imo..

Dorgs thats a hasblo helmet not Marmit, PS I like the Marmit mod better then Medi, though now the chest armour seems the wrong colour

Yea...the Medi chest armor has a wash on it that makes it a bit dark. The dark matches some screen shots....but that was the lighting.
I still have paint touch-ups to do between the armor and helmet so it looks like the production matches.

This is the ROTJ and SE helmet. Completely different than the ESB helmet. I think that the reshaped marmit helmet with replaced rangefinder matches the shape, scale and dimensions almost perfectly. At least I'm happy with it.

That's true, I suppose... hadn't looked closely at the differences in Fett between films before...

in fact, here's a pic of ESB fett that matches the marmit/hasbro one..

but the medi is def a ROTJ

Wow, to me this is damn close to perfection. I was curious, is this on a Medi body? The reason I ask is that the lower legs look a bit short. Perhaps that's just the due to the RAH body? Still, looks awesome! I need a Boba in my collection.

Yes. It's still on the Medi body. I think the legs are ok...but will look again. Nothing some 1/4 leg extenders couldn't fix. I'll try them out. Just don't want the figure looking to lanky.

It could even be as simple as moving the knee pads up just a tad. Honestly though McHaley, great looking figure!

Looks that way to me too, just slide those up and you're golden. Nice figure!

 

[lerath666]

am I the only one who's considered cutting the visor out of the medi and replacing it with a polarized lens?

 

[Boba Felder]

Your Boba looks VERY cool....need to get my hands on one sometime!!!

That did the trick.

 

[McHaleyArt]

I think every 6 months or so I have to tinker...always a work in progress. Still have to detail the helmet a bit...along with some other things.
Testing chrome contact paper on the barrel (need to drill holes), re-detailed the scalps and added some slight ankle extenders.

 

[unsung hero]

Looks really nice, the one suggestion I have is to remove the visor and add one that is flush with the inside of the helmet. I don't know why the sculpted in visor bothers me so, but when the light hits the sculpt lines it drives me nuts. My own personal opinion, of course, but seeing as how you are striving for a more accurate looking Fett, I figured I'd throw that out there.

The chrome looks really nice on the blaster too.
