    I'd have to check the ESB ref pics, but on RotJ suits, the top of the shoulder bells should be even with the top of the chest armor.

    Re: ESB Boba V1.0

    I think it looks AWESOME!! One other critique...the right shoulder should be more of an orangish compared to the left shoulder which is definitely lighter...leaning more towards the yellow.I used the UP Armor Yellow on my knees and shoulders and I misted the "Milwaukee road orange" a bit on my right shoulder and knees and it looks perfect!


    Can't wait to see your finished product

    I think I've got over 500 hours into the painting of my helmet by now Hopefully I'll have a complete photo shoot of my ESB this year.

    When you said you where doing an ESB Fett I knew you would nail it, minor flaws to the picky eye aside, that looks fantastic.

    Looks great overall. As one perfectionist to another, is your center diamond a little closer to your right?

    Re: ESB Boba V1.0

    Thansk everyone. I'm hoping that I dont ever have to do a version 2.0.

    So with the help of all you guys I'm gonna try to get it right the first time.

    Bobafettish - Thanks for noticing that, but I'm aiming for the chronicles Fett look
    with ESB colors. I love the spacing in those pictures.



    DL44 - gotcha man, the orange is in there, but I guess I need some more. I went a little light. Time to hit the hobby store again. Thanks man.

    BobaFettslave -

    Helmet - MSH2 by Fettpride and painted by Rogue Studios.

    Neck seal - by TK409's wife

    Vest - TK409's sister. I modified the shoulders flaps and modified to fit me
    better.

    Chest armor - by Fettpride painted by me with Rogue Studios colors.

    Jodo Kast - like Tylerdurden said, the pieces move around a bit. But believe me its dead on straight. heh heh. thanks for noticing that. Sometimes I need someone elses EYE. thanks man.

    thanks for the feedback and help everyone.

    Turo

    The look I'm aiming for.

    That is coming along great Turo!
    The only thing I see is the shoulder bells look like they could come up a hair so the top corners touch the seam.
    The paint job is really well done!
    Cheers!

    Re: ESB Boba V1.0

    Looking absolutely fantastic!

    If you're looking for constructive criticism, it seems like there's too much vest material showing at the bottom, and the shoulder bells look a little too wingy; might wanna raise them up a little as E2K13 said.

    But what a great paint/weathering job! Did you use US Med. Green for the armour?

    Cheers!

    WOW! that looks excellent SEEKER! Can't wait to see more! I especially like the look of your weathering. How did you weather the tk409 vest and neck seal?

    I used all kinds of acrylic browns. I watered down the colors with Windex, then apply the colors with a sponge brush.

    I used the snap method. glued the female side on the chest, then attached the male on the vest.

    Made the few adjustment requested above. reworked the placement of the shoulder armor and painted the right a little more orange. The lower part of the vest comes later.

    Re: ESB Boba V1.0

    Now that looks about perfect!!! Way to go Seeker!! A bit of constructive critisism if its OK...the RF top is angled quite a bit on your bucket. I have to fix mine too Looks to me like the original was pretty much horizontal. Your suit is shaping up awesome

    I got to see SEEKERS Boba this past Saturday, at the Michigan Prop Party, and I must say it looks fantastic. Very nice weathering on the armor and the vest. And the bucket is incredible .

    It was great to meet you too, Arturo.

    That's pretty hardcore.... that he even has the a Fett tattoo on his forearm. That's really cool!

    Now I'm thinking of getting something like that for my next tattoo.

    I hate you. Why dont you go back to the hole you crawled out from? What was it called? The Sarlaac? Oh wait, this isn't the real Boba? Could have fooled me.


    Turo, you nail it so often, I wonder if you have any nails left.
