Boba Fett (Boba Fresh) Colors?

[Gee2]

Anybody have a solid list of the new armor colors? I know there's been a lot of discussion and Montana Gold has come into play along with a few others, and at least one of the colors (Melon Yellow) I'm having a heck of time finding. What I've gathered to date;

• SMARAGD Green
• JUNGLE Green or MILITARY Green
• MELON Yellow (may have to substitute w/ SHOCK Yellow)
• ROYAL Red
• GREENERY Green

Anybody?

Montana black Storm seems a likely frontrunner from what I've gathered so far for the armor and most of the helmet. I am currently printing my helmet and will be using that for the body but probly the smaragd for the back panel, since those look to be different similar to the original trilogy paint schemes.

melon yellow for sure for the shoulders and either cardinal red. rust red or royal red for the vambraces. testing to come and i'll let you kow what i see if youre interested.

Nice, much appreciated. I saw that the Storm was mentioned but didn't see any follow-ups as to how it looked after application. For what it's worth I did come across a Montana Gold Purple Red matte when looking at all the different reds, looks pretty close but without seeing it in person...

curious to see how the 3 diff reds come out after weathering. the cardinal looked good on a video i watched but it was pre-weathering so might end up too dark afterwards. ill def see once it comes in the mail. ill take good photos and poste here after.

So I slapped those 3 reds I had from Montana on a scrap piece of 3D print. Rust, royal and cardinal. Threw 2 levels of black wash on each. In the pics you’ll see heavy wash on the top half and a lite wash on the bottom half of each.
Rust Royal Cardinal in that order. Not sure which I like best. Thoughts?

Honestly I think the Royal? Hard to tell from photos obviously but the rust looks too brown and the cardinal looks too purple in my opinion.

yeah i think so too but not sure. might need to keep playing with them. although looking at them online the Montana Purple red, Royal red, and Cardinal red are all so close its probly not going to make much of a difference. think i might sand them down and respray. maybe hit them with a matte clear since the royal and cardinal dried shinier than i expected them to.

Did another color test. The poor print I used was throwing me off so I smoothed it more and repainted. Rust, royal, cardinal fresh. Then light black wash, the heavy black wash. The bottom of both black wash is still fresh for comparison. The more I look the more I lean towards royal.

 

[TerranCmdr]

Personally I think Royal also looks best.

Did another round of paint testing just now. This time the green. All Montana paint. Storm, Smaragd and Jungle. In that order. The photos are a little brighter than in person for all 3. I think it solidifies my choice as storm for base armor and dome with jungle as the back panel for the helm.

I'm using

Krylon MAXX Pumpkin Orange
Krylon Farm Implement Old Equipment Yellow
Montana black Storm (Green)
Tamiya Sea blue
Rustoleum Hunt Club (Green)
Tamiya Tan (Spray)

I haven't chosen the color for the mandibles yet. The Old equipment yellow and the pumpkin orange are for the shoulders once I decide which color to use. I think they look more orange then yellow.

I went with the Montana colors:
Storm
Celtic
Tag green
Cardinal
Melon

Gave everything a wash and looks pretty good to me.

Hi does anyone have any alternatives to the Montana colours for the Ears? Tamiya or Vallejo??

Looks amazing!! I have a question though which green did you use for the armor of the 3 you listed? Was it more of a layering of the 3 ?

Thanks

The Montana storm was used for the green on the armor. Then some washes with black and browns.

Hey brother your armor looks great. I'm about to order those colors. For the green did you layer then or did you just use Storm on the armor? Was curious what you used the tag and celtic for. Thanks for your help.

I'll look for you when I get home, The tag and Celtic where used for the helmet back and upper cheek. The dome and lower mandibles are the storm green. All the armor is also storm.

Hey, this thread has been an absolute saving grace for paint, but I had a question I may have missed? What Montana colors are used for the rangefinder side ear piece and the cheeks color? Thanks!

Hello there. For the back panel of the helmet. Did you use a mix of tag and celtic? What was your process if you dont mind me asking?
