Boba Fett RE-ARMORED BUILD 3d printed *updated*

[Theboba]

Hi everyone im starting my repaint build and i wanna say thank you all for the great posts. They have been fantastic help.
I have multiple 3d printers im using to make this suit and ill be painting it myself.

Heres what i got so far

These hand plates i printed out of tpu so they are flexable

I opted for a rubies boba helmet as my head doesn't fit in black series helmets and it wasn't expensive. Ima do what i can to change it up. I already got a new visor

Good looking stuff so far. What files are you using? Also I love the TPU handplates.

Hi, not yet but im curious as well. Im still in the priming stage. So if i get to the paints ill let you know.

Update. I ended up picking up the soft peices i needed like the vest,belt and scarf. The armor was sewn on so ima have to take it off.

Next i got to working on the armor finally. Very exciting. I smoothed out the armor with uv resin but not too smooth to give it a extra layer of worn.

i jumped ahead and sprayed silver over some.of the peices but then remembered i want to still lightly rubber coat it to give the paint a sandwashed look as a base.

im using the back plate as a test peice to see what it might come out as. At the moment im using hunter green, ive been looking for a better green but couldn't find any my local stores. I like it but i know its not the accurate color, ima keep looking for a better green. I feel like its more of a lighter green. I weathered it as well.

Been reading through a lot of posts about color. Montana gold Storm green looks good. Montana Smaragd green looks good too. I also bought Montana Jungle just for S&G’s. Plan on doing some testing and trial soon. I think the Kelly will be good for the back panel of the helmet perhaps.

New update. I found congo green at home depot and its not too bad of a green. Ive painted alot of the armor so far. I may have gone a little overboard on the weathering for a fresh boba. I like it though.

Heres the texture i was mentioning, its like a sand blasted metal look. Gives more of a rustic vibe id say.

found the gloves on Amazon. It came in a pack of a pair of black and brown gloves. Both gloves for only 15$. Crazy good deal.

and finally the soft parts. Going to take off the sewn on armor next and add the velcro for the printed armor. Im also printing more accurate belt pounches and the bullets for the belt as I like that look better for the belt.

That is a great deal for the gloves! Armor is looking nice, I like the color.

what were the link to the gloves if you dont mind? seems like a great budget piece.

While doing all this i was also able to print out his E-33. Not the new one though, still amazing and not done yet lol

 

[Theboba]

Hey guys update time. I repainted the shoulders and knees to a orange yellow which i feel is more accurate. Love how it came out.

Then i started the gauntlets

I used cardinal gloss red for these. Going to use it for the helmet too. Next i added a cheap led strip to the chest plate.

And lastly working on the helmet

 

[Theboba]

Update again. Missile is resin printed

 

[The FreshMaker]

coming along nicely. love the resin printed missile. not looking forward to post processing my FDM one. are you planning on using a matte clear coat on the glossy paint or leave as-is?

At the moment i think ill keep the red as is. Its not to gloosy when its dried which is great so far.

Todays update.

And lastly the missile is painted. Love how it came out.

Thanks!

You mean where? I got them from a website called magic wardrobe, but i dont recommend them to be honest. Good quality but size is not great The vest is too short and the braid belt is nowhere near as thick as it should be. I bought it from there because it was very cheap but thats the downside of buying cheap i guess.
