Life size ESB Boba Fett build

Post by Postie »

Hey everyone,
I've started converting my Fett bust into a full body display. It's taken around 3 years of slowly sourcing & then waiting for parts for this guy but finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Hopefully the boots & gloves will arrive by the end of the week then in the coming weeks it will be time to tackle what I think will be the hardest to get right,Bobas forearm gauntlets after that the shin tools & sidearm/holster a ton of weathering on the flight suit!
Fetts by far my favorite character so I'm trying hard to get him looking right.
Thanks for looking & all things going well I'll post a few pics of a complete Fett in the coming weeks :boba:

Pics looks great, and I'm sure the detail and accuracy is thoroughly impressive in person.

Sorry for the late reply Edward26, I've only laid down the jetpacks base colors so it's a work in progress still & never fear Fetts got his blaster!
Gloves and boots arrived the other day so I've been keeping busy weathering all the soft parts.
Thanks for the kind words & Cheers for looking.

Hey Armante, to answer your question yes!
While I got to say trooping/cosplay isn't really me when ordering all the soft parts I got everything in my size ;)
In reality Fett will see out his days in my props room with the rest of the crew.

Thanks Matt
I took queues from your display area to be honest!
The room is slowly taking shape, the themed wall panels & corner flooring took a bit of getting into the little room & up in place but i like how it looks!

Whoa!

Matt said it - those backdrops to the troopers and Fett are amazing.
I'm not even making time to do small ones for my 6th scale figures - and you're doing them life-sized! :blink:
