I think the actual green armour plates are fine, its whatever lies underneath and maybe partly the backplate's fault... I got my rotary tool and sewing kit on standby to do as much as it takes to that boba! I'm also doing a body swap and may even end up darkening his green a bit (that is if he really is as green as people's cameras make it look - although atm i think thats just the cameras)

you actually wanna repaint the helmet??

Update on Boba... turns out just heating the lower armor in water and reshaping (an earlier theory) works just fine and is easier. Billy Ray did it to his... turns out there is a plastic piece behind the armor causing the box effect.

Just don't heat for too long as the back piece can melt easily.

Dreaded are the evil dollie melting hairdryer they are mmmm.

The only problem I see is the neck/shoulder armor is overlapping the top chest armor, there should be a gap as seen below:

With the medicom it was getting that part to stay down that drove me nuts lol.

As the saying goes "it's always something" Hate to nitpick but it really overlaps alot.

 

[galactiboy]

Some pics the armor doesn't overlap, others it does... I think that's a futzable issue. But one you'll probably have to mess with every time you change his pose.

I started a Boba Fett mod thread to collect all these things... It was getting to be a pain sifting through page after page of nothing just to see the mods.

 

[galactiboy]

Good call Flosi... I think there are now 3 total methods discussed; sewing, heating and cutting.

 

[FLOSI]

Yeah, I think I copied all three. If I missed any please feel free to add them.

I have to admit, I'm a little curious to see what would happen if the back of the vest was just pulled in tighter, with a bit of extra velcro added to keep the bottom sucked in?

 

[galactiboy]

The cutting image was not actually done by that guy... but Rubio did so I'd include some of his "after images". I think he'll post some pics of the alterations later.

Also, you might edit Darklord's post to include the information about the mods. Due to the ordering his post is first and is a bit confusing.

Here's the excellent piccie Feroze painted and printed for me, and the doopydoo E-11 i put together and painted.

 

[Chakaman]

What a great looking display! Feroze's print and your custom-built blaster look fantastic together. Well done mate!

Very Nice E-11

But it's all wonky waaaa.

I still have to finish making the hooks for Boba's blaster yet.



I also have to drill out and fit in proper lenses for the E-11. I'm using a cheap telescope and the lenses are practically a perfect fit.

 

[barryo]

those blasters look awesome..............

but you should change out the hooks to something a bit more stylish that matches your work...........just a thought........

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah i couldn't find any hooks so i made those myself. I may spray em a different colour though and file the edges round or something.
