ESB Boba Fett 1:1 bust wip

Post by Postie »

Finally slowly but surely the Fett parts I've had on order are starting to turn up! Still waiting on a bunch of things the most obvious one being the helmet! :cry:
I haven't had much luck with Mr Fett, with waiting times for some stuff upwards of a year & suppliers with delusions of grandeur acting like it's a privilege to give them my money!
Anyway here's a few pics of where I'm at, still a huge amount that needs to be tweeked, twisted, bleached & dyed but think Boba is coming along nicely

Don't know why but the colour of the armor in the pics appears darker than it really is.

I always found that with photography when I was a professional photographer a long long long long long long long time ago.
by the looks of your displays and work that goes into making your busts, I might have to get you to do one for me. :D

Nice.

So, you're going to attack it with a few weathering techniques?

Lots of airbrushing to get the vest looking grubby & have bleached/dyed the flight suit.
I revisited the armor going over the scratches & dings then dusted areas with pastels :)
Some good & bad news, my "wookie" braids (actually made of horse hair!) Are on the way as are a pair of hip pouches the bad news? The ammo belt is anything but accurate so have contacted a local leather worker to see if they can help!

Progress!! Had a bunch of bits turn up for Mr Fett so have been plodding away finishing the body
New parts added
Horse hair "Wookie" braids
US Diver buckle
ESB ammo belt
Cloth hip pouches (light grey then dyed with "China Blue" fabric dye)
Sleeve details stitched in (4 bands around the opening & folded front seam
& finally I replaced the cotton woven girth belt with a screen correct twisted mohair version
Gutted to say still no word on my helmet (1 year & waiting! )
