Boba Fett 1313 helmet finished up

Here is a Boba 1313 helmet I did recently for a client. The helmet is one of my Coldcast fiberglass Jangos. I didn't go with the traditional Jango paint, I tried to match the ref colors. There is also not as much contrast between the 2 colors on the ref. My colors do look darker in inside light. The ref didn't have any layered paint just lots of scratches and dirty, so that's what I did. I may do another for myself as I like how it turned out but I might add a bit of layered paint ;)

That came out awesome dude! I agree that I'm not sure if the paints are the same as Jango's, and the fact that Jango's helmet was destroyed is now considered canon (CW), it opens it up to use whatever blues ya like anyway.
 
You know...I think it would look even better if you did the damage more like the ESB damage, by that I mean make it look like small chips were taken out a bunch of times....even in the same patern as ESB...Right now its almost like theres to much damage?

The weathering does look great though, I just think the damage on the blue looks to much like it was placed on there not like it happened. Also maybe some physical damage (not sure if the customer would want that) but like the ROTJ and ESB and PP helmets all had some physical damage....

Ya I was thinking about using the esb stensels and using grey white and blue layered paint on the mandibles if I do another. I would be a cool Jango - boba mix I think.

Love it dude!

Thanks Man
 
If this is some thing people would want, I could do light kits with different color LEDs.
 
Jangos RF isnt hollow JC...so unless you were to use a Boba RF and modify the ear it wouldnt work very well....

And YES thats a brillant idea Animefan...the colors would work well too!
 
If anime were to offer his hollow topper with the kit, I could do it. I would have to order different color LEDs which is easy.

That would be a cool idea, dark blue leds would look cool. Unfortunately the jango RFs and stalks are solid, as well as they are static and don't go up and down. I will make a new ear set so that my boba stalks and RF will work but I just haven't had time yet.

Thanks, I think I will give it a go once Ive finished up a few of the projects I have on the go ;)
 
No worries. I have plenty of boards and other parts, so let me know.
