Hello all,
I have a few general questions for all you Boba pros.
I originally wanted to build an ESB Boba since I liked that movie the most. But after researching the costumes, I like the ROTJ more due to the more interesting paint scheme.
Since I am not up for trooping, my goal is to build a statue. And here's my first question:
Should I buy a male or female mannequin, since Boba seems a little on the short side?
As with my lifesize Terminator, I am heading for the actor's appearance. I have googled, but could not find Jeremy's heighth.
Would you go for fiberglass or vacformed ABS? I know that fiberglass is sharper in detail, but what is more movie accurate?
I am not capable of sewing, so I'll have to buy all the soft parts. Also, I would like to have all metal parts like the shin tools and jetpack beacon in real metal. A few electronic gimmicks like the chestplate lights and servo'ed rangefinder are also on my mind. What would you pros estimate the cost of a complete ROTJ costume? More expensive or cheaper than the sideshow figure? I can assemble and paint, but most parts will be bought.
Thank you for looking!
Thomas
