Boba Fett Customizations/Modifications: Image Thread

[mortifactor]

Too light and too thin but thats just my opinon! I love what you did with the helmet though!

Yeah its a bit light until I darken it, about the thinness though, I'm going off of ESB screencaps where it is a tight and thin looking fabric but I'll see what I can do

well mine turned up today at last, overall pretty happy with it, looks better in person than in most pics.
Course, 1st thing i did when i got it was the cut the clear plastic behind the chest armour, heat and bend the ab plate with a hair dryer, makes a massive improvement:

i also noticed the shoulder armour is too high, close and the wrong angle, so tore them off and re-glued them with a bit of extra padding:

something i've noticed is missing, is the white strap that goes from the bottom of the codpeice up to the kidney plate. that'll be the next thing i add to it.
Overall, more impressed than i thought i'd be, compared to my full Fett suit, its pretty close, think the armour colour is too light, but its so nicely painted i don't want to repaint it!

Very nice mod... how do to managed to bend the amour while using the hairdryer? Any tips on doing that? And how long does it take to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Got my Fett today, have done all the Mods & body swap except the Helmet which I'll be doing, out of the box it was a bit awkward, but looks superb on the slim. took about 45mins start to finish

Thanks to all of you who posted here, I finally did my Boba mod. Please forgive the bad pics:

Bent the ab plate, fixed the right belt pouch, and put him on a narrow shoulder truetype, but used a slim's forearms. I thought he looked a bit too dainty on the slim. I think he fills out the outfit better this way. On the slim I found he was swimming in his suit.

Thanks again for everyone who posted their Boba modding techniques.

I still have yet to add the elastic from his jock to his back.

What did you do to the right belt pouch? Use another left?

Yep. I was lucky enough to score an extra belt from TA.

A couple more:

May I know how do you bent the ab plates? With bare hands or any tools? Do share and elaborate further.

Thanks in advance.

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.

Just another Sideshow Fett on a Slim TT . . . . . .

Slim Fett always looks good!

But no one ever puts the Slim Fett next to a regular Star Wars figure so we can see the height trade-off.

Really? Looks close enough to me . . . . . .

Looks great there, but is that other clone on a slim as well?

Nope. Still on the stock Pro body.

Very good then! Don't suppose you have a pic of Fett next to a Tattoine Luke or Tatooine Han or any of the older human characters? Kind of want to see how these new figures are stacking up against the old ones. I think they are shrinking, right? The Pro's pretty small.

Medicom - Boba Fett on TT Slim - Custom Boba Fett on stock body

Strange, the slim seems so much shorter than the 'stock' Fett in that picture, yet looks good next to that clone above.

This is why I'm confused -- because I have the stock Fett on the Pro body and he is about the height of my Piett and Greedo (since he's standing next to them both on my shelf right now) and a bit smaller than Tatooine Han Solo. On my shelf, the 'stock' Fett looks about correct height. Any smaller would look off in conjunction with a collection.

 

[swsqueakquels]

Funny how the SSC and Medi look roughly similar in height yet there is such a big difference in scale of bits like the belt, chest armor and knee armor.

Great pic TK. These guys look bad ass together.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

My Boba on a Slim aligns perfectly the my stock gree figure

 

[automaton]

looks good but perhaps a little thin... lanky... like he hasn't fully grown into the costume.
