Hunter
Let me start by saying I dont have any access to a scanner right now, but I have some cool sketches that I can post here soon.....
I just recently rediscovered my love for this Star Wars character that I thought I forgot about like 8 years ago....I dont have the time or money to build a replica Fett costume (as much as i wish I did), but I do have a bunch of more modern and some vintage tactical and war gear. I started thinking...what if I combined a Fett Helmet and some Fett-esque armor and gear with a little bit more modernized suit and accessories? Almost like a mix between a modern Special Forces Soldier and a Mandalorian Warrior. I wouldnt ever blaspheme the Fett by wearing this at some convention or anything like that, but it would just be a fun costume to wear at Halloween or something.....This is hard to describe without the preliminary pictures that I have, but heres the basics to what I'm thinking:
-The Boba Fett helmet would not change, except for maybe removal of the RangeFinder, since it would look sort of odd in this setup. I would likely paint the helmet a mix of black and steel-gray, with some red accents.
-The under-suit/jumpsuit/whatever its called would be some sort of black flight suit, similar to the original film one, only much darker in color.
-I would ditch the jet-pack (classic Fett, I know, but again pretty out of place with my idea here) and maybe replace it with some sort of utility backpack or maybe nothing at all in place of it.
-the chest and shoulder armor would be a little more modernized, AKA maybe a black kevlar-ish chest protector with reinforced panels that are similar in pattern to the unique Fett shaped armor from the films. I would probably ditch the shoulder armor altogether, I was thinking of putting patches sewn on the shoulders instead (with that Mandalorian skull design thing) <----I've forgotten what thats called, I've lost some geek-hood I guess
I would also put the circle-diagonal slash insignia (again, whatever that thing may actually be called I dont know) on the chest, in keeping with its placement in the films.
-The gloves would remain pretty much unchanged, only black in color rather than gray.
-I would likely ditch the wrist gauntlets, since theres no "real world" equivalent of those that I can think of, well nothing that wouldnt look out of place at least....
-The utility belt setup and pouches would be almost the same as the originals, only black instead of brown, in keeping with the rest of the color scheme. I dont know what is actually in Fetts pouches in the Star Wars universe, but on my utility belt I would probably include: A Flashlight, Handcuffs, Spare Ammo pouches, maybe a knife, and some other small assorted pouches. (Again, this stuff would just serve to "present-day" up the costume. I guess I'm trying to imagine a modern day bounty hunter/mercenary/commando type thing here, only with some Fett-ish elements to it.
-I would keep the shoulder cape, just because it looks awesome and he would look naked without it. I think I'd lose the wookie scalps though....
-I would keep the knee pads, only they would be black instead of yellow.
-The boots would be similar to the film ones.
-Now, the weapons....this is where I wasnt sure what direction to go....
Obviously, Im going for the modernized mercenary look, so I figured I would modernize his selection of weaponry as well. What would a typical "assassin" have in his arsenal? Well, I would venture to guess it would be a mixture of lethal and non-lethal weapons. I would probably go for a dual-holster setup (on the thighs) a la Jango Fett. Instead of laser pistols though, I would probably use a regular styled handgun in one, and a tranquilizer pistol in the other (they dont always want 'em dead right?) I would replace his blaster rifle with some sort of compact carbine/submachine gun. I would also have a silencer of some sort on one of the guns, an assassin has to have a silencer right?
haha well I just sat back and read all of this and my idea seems kind of silly, so I'm sure you guys will think Im nuts, but I think it would be a fun little experiment to kill some time with. I love to paint and draw, and Im already having alot of fun doodling with my ideas. I have a new found interest in the whole Boba Fett thing, and this might just be a good way for me to take my mind off college when it gets to me![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
Let me know what you guys think! And remember, its just for fun and for my own entertainment, so dont make fun of me too much![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
