this is my boba how is it

WOW! That's a huge improvement from when I first saw it ;)
The suggestions I've heard are right, toning down the weathering blotches to defined patterns with yellow around the edges makes a vast difference. To weather the jumpsuit, just lightly mist around with black and browns, and go a bit heavier on the legs. Just do a search for reference photos and I'm sure you can make some shin tools froms scratch for now.

Very impressive, you are definitely on the right track. Just look how I started out with my first couple 'versions' before TDH!

it takes a long time to get it right... i "finished" my suit in september, and look at the difference from then til now:

i've still got a long road ahead, but the progress is (at least to me!) very obvious ;)

i have a page up nitpicking my own costume... it might help for you to see the observations i've made on my stuff:

my only negative comments on your suit have already been said: the gauntlets look a bit "over-weathered", and the chest armor looks a bit big. otherwise though, it looks worlds better than my first troop ;)
 
Only thing I can see that's missing is a nice girth belt. Tack one of those on your suit and you'll be spot on. Very nice though. :cheers
 
Looks good, but you need to dirty it up a bit more, the legs especially.

Boba's suit has a "I just waded through a swamp up to my knees" look to it.
Here is my display suit to show what I mean.

I weathering tip, if you can't see the weathering under flash or bright lights, it is not done enough.

My jump suit and ankle spats are the exact same material and color, this gives you an idea on how much I weatherd the jumpsuit.

Hey Lynn... Is there a hint of blue i see in your weathering? or is it just the flash? I really like it... what materials/colours did you use?
 
i was also wondering if i should some how stretch my helmet or something cause u know boba fett has a very widened helmet and mine is not :( and i think that might make it look more like boba fett. if u guys have some tips for me that would really help. u guys have already been a big help :)
 
:D hey that's getting along great!!

well the important thing for a set of tools if you dont want to, or cant buy is the measurments of your own shin pockets, then dremmel or hand saw them out of plexi-glas or whatever and smack some paint on.

the tools can be done really easy, and you won't lose much on accuracy.

only tool I worked out was the knife :p

(thnx for the compliment on my gaunt thread Pave!! You could have just as easily thrown in your own thread, they make excellent tutorials!!)

i dirted up my junmpsuit even more i took your advise and i did the legs darker

Now you are lookin like a Fett! Is your vest weathered at all? What I did was pull all the armor off my vest then put the vest on the jumpsuit like I would wear it. then I weathered both at the same time to get it even. Just don't forget to lift the edges of the vest to get under it a bit!

R_Boba, thanks you as well. I have to say though, your gaunt tutorial rocks!

what sort of helmet is it? the wideness in mine comes from the bucket being huge ;)
 
Not to take take over the thread but Im looking to weather my vest. Do you guys usually just hit it with a misting of gray spray paint?
