It's been a long time since I've made a post here and wanted to share a project I've been working on when I have spare time.
I wanted to make an as accurate as possible statue of Boba Fett and I choose to go at 1:3 scale. I choose this size because awhile back I purchased a 3d printer with a goal of remaking the Riddel Star Wars helmet line. So ofcourse I started with Boba Fett, and once the helmet was done, I had to have a stand for it. So what better way to display than to do a whole figure. I originally planned to just do the shoulders, but once those were printed I thought, why not keep going?
So here is alittle of what I have done so far:
Helmet: I bought a really accurate 3d helmet and printed, sanded and primed. Then designed and 3d printed all of the interior components. I used thin straps for the Chin and helmet liner. I found thin black vinyl for the visor and attempted to make the interior as accurate as possible to the known ESB helmet.
I purchased all the exterior paint and realized that painting details at this scale would be challenging. So I thought for a bit and decided I would try to print Rafalfett's templates on vinyl sticker paper and use those as a temporary solution.
More to come. I'll post some better photos of the helmet as well.
