ESB or ROTJ Version?

...on the 501st front, I think that some people on here are more anal on accuracy! If I recall, spending $150 on an original calc for the pad and circuit board??? Thats not anal at all is it?

Anyway, I prefer the ROTJ color scheme, so thats what I'm building. Although have to be honest the ESB helm is cooler. Later I might change to SE ROTJ...
 
Well, coming back to the original topic....GO FOR THE EPISODE 2 version!!! :lol:

Seriously, as costume version (from the neck down), go the ROTJ version, since there are more reference pics from ROTJ, rather than ESB...specially at Exhibits. For the helmet, go for the ESB version (Special Edition version put all together)...more detailed and unique in it's weathering. ;)

Well, put it this way: ESB is more simple, due that it's just one color for the jet pack and the gauntlets (I believe the same color) and the helmet is more detailed, with simply silver weathering. ROTJ is same concept...but the opposite around....it's the "MULTI-COLORED" and detailed jet pack and armor, but the helmet is with the same concept as the ESB jet pack....just silver scratches. :facepalm

I've learned a lot of lessons while in this group....specially the "ACCURACY BUG". I finished my Fett 3 years ago, and I'm still upgrading. :eek:

hey, i resemble that remark ;)
 
Of couse you are all forgetting about the other 4 versions of the costume that exist, albino, Pre-pro1, pre-pro2, and pre-pre3.
 
Just the reference CD came in the mail. I purchased evrything Bobamaker builds, including the new jet pack. He is also doing all the painting. Putting everything else together now. This site really helped me to put it all together. Should be completed in 4 - 5 months.....Will be posting pics when completed.

Yeah I guess you can say that. Since I want the "BEST" & it to look like it is right out of the movie, I decided to have Bobamaker also do the painting. Since my skills are not up to par, & I have the funds, I decided to go this route. Looks like the only item I will put together & paint is the EE3 Blaster kit I bought from Sidewinder. I really respect & admire all of you that have built & painted your Fett's. Now if only I could find ROTJ gauntlets......
