ROTJ or ESB paint? How about ROTESB?

My favorite jetpack paint up is the ROTJ version.

My favorite helmet paint up is the ESB version.

Will the Fett police show up if I do an ESB helmet version with ROTJ paint colors? I have never liked the ROTJ battle damage (it looks lazy to me). I like the colors but not the detail. So here's my problem.
I have always tried to be as accurate as possible but have never attempted to enter the 501st, nor do I plan to at this time. I do the Fett stuff for me, myself and I but I do like to hear feedback from other people who have the same passion. At this point I have started painting my scratch built bucket in the ESB style, however, I'm torn. Do I stick with the ESB colors now or do I do the JEDI colors with the ESB battle damage?!! Why must this all be so complicated?

Anyone else had this problem? Hopefully when the Boba shows up in a new movie they'll combine the best of both Fett's so I can have my ESB helmet and Jedi jetpack!

What you want is called the ROTJ SE suit, more exactly the scenes shot for the ROTJ Special Edition ==> http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/gallery/g528-boba-fett-special-edition.html. It is described as a ROTJ suit with an ESB helmet, but there are lots of differences in the suit to call it a clean ROTJ one. There are pieces from the ROTJ Hero, 1 or 2 ROTJ stunts, Pre-Pro #2 and ESB Promo parts.

Rafal, as always, you are my hero! That's for the info, you just made my day!

From reading tons of posts from all the major helmet painters on TDH over the years, they usually say both helmets are equally as complex of a paintjob to get accurate. So I'd say no, the ROTJ is not lazy. It takes just as long to paint.

Probably shouldn't have use the word "lazy". It's just not as crisp as the ESB paint job in my opinion. It looks like they painted it in a hurry. Not as much dimension as the the ESB. Good point, wasn't fair to call it lazy haha

I think that it and the PP2 look to be much harder to replicate.
