    Nate's (Duder777's) ESB Boba Fett Build Log

    I modified the right hand (to hold the rifle), and right shoulder so the arm was angled away from the body in order to fit the stock of the rifle in there. I ended up using an old curtain bracket that I cut and filed to fit in the opening of the mannequin's shoulder, and screwed it into the...

    Now that the grey gloves are on my manufactured hands I need to show the updated version of Boba. Thanks to everyone and the site for all your help. I am feeling good about this build.

    Stuffing/filling out the pouches

    Foam is easy and you can cut in imperfections so they are not perfect boxes.

    Question on getting a smooth gloss finish

    Wet sanding will actually make it dull, even if you use 2000 grit. I have wet sanded clear coats followed by a cream polish and foam polishing cone on the end of a drill. Then buff with a microfiber rag, just like if you were polishing a car. That makes the clear coat like a mirror. Not sure...

    T's ESB Boba Fett Build

    Looking good. I like that side arm. I actually did the knees the same way with the velcro all along the inside and on the ends of the straps. Great progress!

    I always love admiring the fine details. Are your brushes actually just one strand of hair? :D

    Ha! The gloves are horrible. They do look a bit pink in the pics, but in person it is more of a beige. It was a botched fade job, and rather than try to fix it I am going to get a nice pair of St. Nasty's whenever they become available. Nothing says B.A. bounty hunter like a pair of pink gloves!

    Nate's (Duder777's) ESB Boba Fett Build Log

    Update for tonight - I am very happy that today I finished my base that allows Fett to stand up without tipping over, and hands that actually hold the blaster in place! Over the past month I have made little progress, but did knock out some little details that were bothering me. I think as soon...

    Snapped some pics this evening with chest beefed up a little, and back armor and jetpack attached! I will be doing work on the hands and gloves next. The gloves are a horrible color that I need to fix. Getting the hands to grip the EE3 will be a challenge. And I need to weather the knee...

    Red Collar Stud Tops?

    Hi TDH, I have a question on the collar studs in ESB. I am seeing some tops that are red, but am not sure if there are multiple ones. In the pictures from the screen test I see a red top on the left side closest to the neck. In the film I see red on the right side closest to the shoulder. Is...

    Ha! that is the one room in the house besides my garage my wife let's me keep the way I want it. The maids come tomorrow, and as usual I will tell them not to go in my office.

    This guy was found in my office last night! Still need to get the back armor and jetpack on, plus some more fixing/weathering here and there. I also need to beef up the mannequin's chest a little so it is somewhat closer to mine.
