Boba Fett Customizations/Modifications: Image Thread

[shockwave]

I am nearly completed w/my custom. It's a mix of SSC/Medicom & HT TT body.

Whew what a project for this novice....

Ok I still haven't added the Wookie braids, SSC jetpack. Also this pics are pretty bad. Fett looks a little short/stout.... I did some other mods to the rest of the figure. Too much to list maybe.

I also have an issue w/the legs. The body is a HT TT. The lower calf section/boots are SSC. Sometimes the figure would tip over if not posed correctly.

I know I didn't do a better job placing the HT joint w/electrical black tape to fit into the SSC lower section.

Sorry to ramble please enjoy...

Well, like those in the thread before me, I cut the clear plastic behind the chest armour, then I microwaved a cup of water for about 2 minutes. BE CAREFUL YOU DON'T GET BURNED! Then I dunked the ab plate vest section into the water for about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it in case it curled or melted or something. Then I took it out, wearing gloves and I CAREFULLY bent it with my hands. When it bends to what you like, just run it under cold water and there you have it.

USE CAUTION when handling this piece. It will be VERY HOT! Good luck.

Thank you very much, Brinn. (for the step by step method.)

I'm almost done with mine. Medi/SS/HT fett. Following a great recipe I only need a few more parts.

I've made all the mods now, I'm not 100% on the look of it but it's growing on me

All the pictures of Boba on a Slim makes me want to do it. But I'd break my figure doing it. Oh well.

Anybody have any 1:6 templates for the kill stripes on Fett's helm? Saw some over at the Dented Helmet but they were all 1:1.

 

[mortifactor]

I got the 1:1 ones and reduced them 6 times

Just ordered my Boba Fett. Can anyone summarize the best way to do the chest piece mod?

take off, carefully cut away the excess plastic on inside as much as you can.

Then, use hairdryer - carefully

 

[pixletwin]

Thanks Matt.

But how do I tell what is the excess plastic?

Thanks Matt.

cut the plastic keeping the shape of the armor

 

[pixletwin]

Thanks Rodan. It will probably make more sense when I have the chest piece in hand.

Anyone thought of maybe (slightly) bulking the legs on a slim up enough to take the "stickliness" out of the leg area? Also, where are you guys drilling holes in the back of your Slims for the screws? I'd like to see a pic if anyone has one.

Boba's legs are skinny, so the tt slim's legs look right (look up a couple of pics from ESB to see what i mean) If anything, I found the legs looked too padded already due to excess fabric in the legs, had to futz it out.

I didn't drill his back, I found double sided tape worked well, but you can probably drill into it anyway.

Ok, it's just that one person (with pics in this thread) can't remember who, had theirs on a slim and the legs looked like pencils.

I was able to put black electrical tape on the HT knee peg. From there I was able to attach the SS/Fett lower leg section into the slightly modified peg. It's ok but a couple of times the figure would fall over; so I make sure to give my custom Fett a cool yet safe pose...

I remember the one you mean, I think it was either it was actually a slim medicom body, or a tt slim with the medicom knee straps (which would be very tight). People who just put the ssc on a slim straight up, have no such problems.

edit: dug up some pics of boba on a tt slim just if you wanna check

What benefit did you find from this? just curious lol

Black electrical tape turns to mush in a year or 2, watch out in case you get a sticky gunky mess!
