alright guys ive finally gotten aroundto starting the post sarrlacc armor.. im building it like i think it would have looked from reading the story a barve like that.... progress will be slow but in the end it will turn out good im hoping
Discussion on Boba fett Post sarrlacc armor WIP within the Boba Fett Costume forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; alright guys ive finally gotten around to starting the post
alright guys ive finally gotten around
ok here are some details about what the suit is going to be like... there will be no jetpack as it exploded in the sarllacc.. the back plate is going to be blown off with the jet packs accept at the corners.... the chest armor is goin to be missing chunks here and there.. there will be no left shoulder left sleeve left gauntlet or left glove.. reason is his left arm was broke and i got the implement while reading the story that his left side got more damage.. the right shoulder will be scarred up.. same for the codplate. there will be no amoo belt.. im sure the stomic acid or jet pack explosion would have cause it to get destroyed.. there will likely be only pants leg of the flight suit and one shoe will be severley cut up... there will probablly not be a cape..
Pics, Pics, Pics. We want pics!
ok lets get to the first progress pic
i will paint it soon.. ive got to find a green thats close to rotj in a spraypaint can
any and all comments are welcome good or bad..,,
Love the idea man!
I would suggest giving the paint a slight chemical burn look to simulate digestive acids. You know that wrinkled bubbled look you get when you use paint stripper on old funiture. But keep in mind that the sarlacc slowly digest his prey so these details would be more subtle. The green color of the armor should be faded and washed out and dulled as well. Just my own thoughts. I love the idea! This sounds fun as a project!

Didn't he strip off all of his clothes and armor before climbing out of the pit? In that case, the post-sarlacc-pit wouldn't be too difficult. Just wear the helmet. And nothing more. Oh yeah
No, but seriously, though, this is an awesome idea! And the chest armor looks good. Can't wait to see more pics!
Something I drew a long, long time ago......
I like to call it "Soups On"
Maybe a little more inspiration for you!
Maybe you could add some tentacle parts to your costume and don't forget the blood stains and scars you'll have on your body from nearly being eat alive!
ok im having trouble finding a yelllow in a spray can that looks right... anyone know any colors that will work??
Bahaus Gold from Krylon, or marigold from rustoleum painters touch
hey will this yellow work... what do you guys think
You could always claim the sarlaccs acidic fluids altered the colors hues on the armor a bit
Cool concept. Like the damage on the armor.
Color change due to the sarlac is a possibility, personaly i think its a little bright, mabey a little dirt to dampen the brightness? Just a thought, but would love to see some more picks, ive been following this since it first posted, keep up the good work, cant wait to see the helm!
Any more progress on this??... I sold my supertropper and want to start a similar post sarlacc pit Fett...this thread is inspiring Mandalorian01!!
wow its been awhile.. ive had alot goin on in the past, Wow its been a year. i will be getting back to working on the post sarlacc fett as soon as i can. which will likely be around christmas when i hve any updates. thanks for everyones patience, im looking fwd to it
Mandalorian01- glad to hear you're getting back on this. This thread inspired me to put one together with left over pieces...I spent way to much time on the helmet, and tenacle then got in a time crunch on everything else. here's some pics- Good luck on your post!

anyone have ideas as to which color green would work best in a rattle can???
another small update. yellow on the rest of the armor. im going soon to get spruce green rattle can paint so i can finish the chest armor
another small update, started on knees. made from 4inch pvc.
update. Both knees are done with the dremmel/shaping work.
[COLOR="silver"]- - - Updated - - -[/COLOR]
update, painted rest of the armor, please give me some feedbck on this, im new to layered painting
My concern is, if the metal was eaten through that much, what are you going to do about your soft parts? Ie vest, flightsuit, neckseal. They can't be less weathered than the plates.
