No...but I used a new Medi-naked. Jango head was from the first release...but I think it's the same as the 2nd. I wouldnt use SSC Knee armor. Just go back in my thread to see what I've done...it's all there.

I was hoping that Sideshow's Fett blaster would be an easy replacement for my custom...alas...they really, REALLY botched it up. The details are nice and sharp with great paint apps. It looks very cool...but far from accurate. Medi and Marmit both have inaccuracies as well, but (at least they got the shape and overall proportions correct.
As I said, I liked the sharp details of Sideshow's so I took the bit I like the most and cannibalized it with the Medi Barrel for a more accurate shape. Angled the Stock, added custom strap, chromed the end, add paint:
(Quick pics with my phone)

I put the blasters in boiling water to loosen the glue and pulled them apart (hard to do still). Yes...heat to bend the stock. Contact paper is like a sticker....just a sheet of it. I've had a sheet of it from an old model kit for reflecting fiber optic lights. I've seem them in craft stores as well.

Yeah, the SSC rifle is a quandary - gorgeous detail, but not screen accurate in so many ways!

The greeblies below the scope are totally wrong, the stock is the wrong shape, it has the step in the middle of the barrel (which wasn't there on the proto...)

The Marmit is pretty accurate but nowhere near enough detail in the sculpt.

Yea...I kept my Marmit blaster intact as my back-up. My custom still has inaccuracies, but the shape/size/details are good and sharp.

Picked up a SSC stand...makes everything look much cooler than I thought...I dig it.
Fett is on a Indy Medi body, as the structural integrity is much, much better than the older medi's. I didn't notice the neck on this body is a long neck, so it needs to be switched out still to bring the head down just a bit. Also lowered the Jet Pack (finally).

Damn, the Marmit really has one hell of a sculpt!

Love the toque, McHaley! How did you do the jetpack mod? Velcro? Did you have to cut the plastic hooks off to make it flush against the back?

Yes the Marmit bucket is still the best shape-wise though it could probably use a repaint.

No...didn't cut anything off. Just fashioned hooks on the end of the plastic ones.

...some day.

Good news, managed to mod the Tomy earpiece to replace my lost earpiece! I actually prefer it's shape!

If only I could somehow find a Medi rangefinder.. Anyone got a cast of it?

 

[eczamurai]

Untill my second Fett helmet is finished he is at least standing on the shelve! Need to futz the jetpack shoulder armor a bit lo, sits rediculous!

 

[eczamurai]

Better.. Glued the top armor to the vest to keep it in place.

looks like our beloved boba becomes a mix and mash of 3 different figures.
