Sorry I hate being pessimistic. That being said, realistically Boba Fett would have had the information displayed on a HUD in his mask...not shown in a small screen that would have reflected onto the helmet and would be hard to see in low visibility conditions.
You could achieve the scene you want with the topper. However, you would need to set the image in the clear acrylic top midway between to cast the image onto your mask. This way it would be invisible to people when the finder is in the upright position.
Crumdum, no apologies necessary. I mean I am walking a very fine line here myself as my very first kit is not intended to be any sort of accepted recreation of any kind what so ever exactly. I'm first putting together my MacFett kit (Scottish Boba) for yucks and grins. With the level of passion for a screen accurate reproduction that I have seen here, I can only assume that I am driving some of the forum members here to drink with this asinine build that's more for humor than for any sort of accuracy.
That being said, my second build is intended to be a 100% (or as close as I can get) screen accurate RotJ build which i hope and pray and dream
might gain me acceptance into the ol' 501st. I intend to use the Boba pieces from MacFett toward that hope for end so I am looking for an extreme amount of accuracy as well. I'm still separating the details (where the devil lives) between the ESB kit and the RotJ kit. And this is still a very helpful thread as after a complete RotJ kit I will build at the very least an ESB bucket!
So much like my question to Fett 4 Real, what would the RF have been used for or how exactly? Because (at least in my mind) If there existed a HUD
and an RF, which I agree seems likely, how would they have been used together? I mean from an ESB stand point, it would seems to me that the RF lens would have displayed...something in addition to the HUD. What would that be? How would they work together? To what end?
I always assumed it was an enhancement for targeting in addition to the HUD. Perhaps for enhanced visuals in low light, fog, thermal, something. Perhaps the working final view (again for ESB at least) would have been something akin to this:
And I do have to wonder that even though the RotJ RF has no lens in reality, was that a conceit on the part of the costumers as Bobas role was so brief and the planned shots full body or no closer than chest up. Given the production schedule I can easily believe this. So employing some suspension of disbelief it would be no great leap to posit that a 'working' RotJ as intended to function in that fictional setting would indeed have had a lens, screen, something! In which case I may add one anyway just for the cool factor and cause, hey, it's my kit, and I wanna!
