Boba Fett Life-Size Bust!

[bobafett]

Yay, suddenly it's working. Don't know what the problem was before, maybe the unit got too cold on the truck. And no, I didn't just realize it needs batteries, lol. Anyhoo, taking pix now.

Congrats BobaFett!

I can't wait to see your pictures (without flash please)!

 

[bobafett]

I'm having trouble uploading pix here, any tips?

Ok, I was able to create an album on here, but I can't figure out how to let everyone view it. So I'm trying imageshack now.

 

[masterside]

You must upload your images with imageshack by clicking browse and then open.

Then once the download is complete. Use the links to the forums and copy them on this subject.

May the force be with you!

Did the best I could. Hope they give you some idea.

Looks great! Thanks for all those photos!

 

[slynger]

is it me - or did the mandible pinch get straightened out a bit?

Dude, how'd you get your head to turn up? I have the worst time getting mine to turn side to side. I'd kinda like to anle mine down a bit like the GG bust.

 

[bobafett]

Qrest, it just moves from side to side. It may be the angle(s) of the shot(s) which make it look like it's turned up. When it goes way to the left of right, it does appear turned up. As to the pinch, it's gone. The photos seem to distort the look of the helmet, which Qrest can probably confirm. I don't know why. But when you see him in person, it's very well done. I'm VERY picky about stuff like that. I give this bust at least a 9.5 out of 10. Sure some fans could do a better paint job. But I think the Sideshow paint job is well done. Plus, one has to remember no two Fett helmets actually used in the films or for publicity are painted exactly the same.

What did they do to the paint? Maybe its your camera..but it looks like a whitish green...looks way too light colored in the photos

 

[bobafett]

The camera washes it out a little. But it is not as dark green as the PF Fett. But he looks very realistic to what you see in the movies.

This guy is huge and he will not fit into a Besta so over my Christmas break Im going to have to modify some Besta units to make some space for him. He is way to wide and way to high to fit.

Overall though I think he is awesome.

I've got my 1:1 busts in Bestas as well. What are you planning on doing?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Uh, it should fit based on the measurements and the dimensions of the Besta themselves.

I got mine today, a day earlier than what my e-mail said. Good thing I was home. I have one question, how do you put his little cape thing on?

Never mind I figured it out. Pics to come later tonight.

Congrats DarthTrafford! How do you like it?
