Boba Fett (ESB) gets his helmet!

Post by Postie »

The Vader quote written on the shipping box "This will be a day long remembered" couldn't have been more fitting, after 2+ years of waiting my most prized helmet has arrived!
Boba Fett as we saw him in ESB has been my favorite character from the first time I saw him & now to finally have him in my display room (even just as a bust) brings a smile to my face every time I look at him :woot:
I hadn't planned on getting Fett a jetpack as the bust sits up against the wall but it's such a large part of the costume I now have one being made.

Outstanding! You mad man :)

Can we please have a close-up or two as well? And an overall room view that (I believe) shows your other life-size busts?! :blink:

That is so cool, beats the helmet I wanted so long ago. When I was 11 I took my mums motorcycle helmet and repainted it like Boba Fett, she was not impressed. :blink:

That is a such a nice job on that, looking forward to seeing the jet pack on it as well. :)

Here's some close ups Armante asked for (sorry been crazy busy!)
I've tried to focus on some of the cool little details that have been added by Eric,the artist
On the front on shot,the crack found on the screen used helmet,running down the cheek.
Underneath the kill stripes, top layer of paint has come away when the masking tape was removed as per the screen used lid.
Oil/greasy finger prints on the the dome on the back of the helmet.
The famous white paint thumb prints on the kill stripes (someone picked up the helmet with paint on their hands during production & it was too difficult to remove)

Just amazing Postie. Man I love those masking lines/ thumb prints detailing that's some crazy research there :)
