Indeed they are.

Do my boots look weathered enough?

Repainted my helmet, well I tried. I think 3rd times the charm.

There's not any blue on the dome for ROTJ, though.

Well darn. I was going off these templates: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/boba-fett-rotj-helmet-stencils-42184/

Well you've used a dark blue, as opposed to more of a grey blue in the templates. Don't forget to check out the reference pics of the actual helmet in the gallery as well!

Time to repaint! This bucket was more for testing anyway, I'm getting a real bucket soon.

Now to find a rocket................

Neo Fett · Oct 16, 2016

Bought soft parts from Arkady, Armor from RKD, and helmet from tommyboy. Now it's a waiting game.

Oh and a rocket from DVH.

Met with some 501st people today and one of the things they pointed out was my gauntlets were the wrong shade of red (among other small details on them) so I'm off to redo them.
