ROTJ Details

So for the ROTJ (not SE) Fett:

Boots have black stripe or no stripe? I’m getting ready to weather them but I can’t seem to find the answer. Some photos seem to show a stripe and others don’t. I don’t want to paint it in only to find out that it’s incorrect. can anyone answer this?

Looking at pictures it looks like there is a black stripe but it's weathered.

Here's a picture I look at Power of the Costume tour...

I'm thinking that Boba in The Power of the Costume was an SE. But I'm also thinking the boots are the same...

Thanks folks. I guess if I weather them enough it would probably not be an issue either way. I’ll put the dark stripe on and weather it up nice. Thanks again for your input.

Sounds like a plan...Good luck on your build, I'm looking forward to your progress pics !!

Thanks Hvacdon!
That’s an awesome reference thread! I’m gonna do a repaint on my helmet soon. This is some great info.
My build thread is on the CT Garrison site:
https://ctg501.com/community/index.php?/topic/202-building-boba-fett/

This all started with intention to build a Halloween/comicon quality Boba Fett. And then I shifted gears to focus on possible 501st acceptance. So the beginning of the thread shows that I was taking some shortcuts at first. And I am still kind of a newbie to costume building.

For ROTJ reference check out the ROTJ image gallery ==Boba Fett Return of the Jedi | Boba Fett Costume and Prop Maker Community - The Dented Helmet. It is good to check out others work for inspiration to boost your build, but I would recommend to use only images of the original suit as reference:
