Rank badge looks fine. They even got the semi transparent look of the blocks right.

I need to add a single, annoying loose strand of hair to this sculpt, then it will be perfect.

Your customized Tarkin will be the envy of the board.

I had been thinking the same thing. And have a tiny fan blowing wind on it so it moves from time to time.

[FONT=&quot]Tunic, Olive[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For 501st approval:[/FONT]

• Fabric is a medium weight suiting material exactly matching the pants.
  • Gabardine style weave is most accurate.
• Tunic is double-breasted with a left over right closure on the tapered yoke.
• Yoke comes up across the shoulder to the top shoulder seam.
• The standing collar has square corners and is about 1.25" (31.8 mm) tall.
  • Collar closes snugly and includes a modesty panel behind closure.
  • Collar edges are closed with two eye hooks.
• There are code cylinder pockets on both outside panels of the jacket from about half way between the top and bottom on the arm hole.
• Sleeves are long, and without decoration, cuffs or buttons.
• Sleeves contain 2 seams.
  • One along the bottom and one along the back.
• Tunic is constructed with no top-stitching (stitches visible on the exterior surface of fabric)
• Hook and eye fasteners on the uniform should not be visible.
• ROTJ Line Officer tunics can have double-yokes down the front of the tunic, below the collar, as seen on Moff Jerjerrod's uniform.

Those hands.........

This figure could use a set of sculpted forearms to achieve his iconic look. Ssc did this with a few of their dead figures. I mean it's not like he needs to hold anything. (Don't say Vader leash either...) he could have the chin hand and pointy finger hand, (telling Leia in a way she has a determined the choice of which planet will be destroyed first)
Yes , no, maybe..........

I think that's a good idea.

My 1/4 HT Boba is a couple feet below my air conditioning vent so every now and then the cool air sends his cape flapping in the breeze

Hey I just want them to match up is all lol.

Really happy for everyone who's dreamed of owning this figure! I do wonder what a repaint would do to it; the sculpt is terrific, but adding some red to the eyelids and the skin below the eyes, along with a few touch ups, would bring it to life.

I think the sculpt although fantastic, is a little on the full side compared to Peter's more gaunt look. That being said I'll be looking to PO this as soon as it goes up. This will sell out pretty quickly IMO.

 

[DarthAlias]

I agree, I've seen this in person and sculpt looks too wide and full for his character. Not gaunt enough.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

That is my issue on it also.

 

[ST1138]

While perhaps not perfect, this looks pretty darn good. It'll be a hard one to pass up, I just have to decide how badly I need a 1/6 Tarkin.

 

[Adam1138]

I've stretched the head sculpt ever so slightly in Photoshop to illustrate the point that I'm trying to make. Original picture on the left and modified on the right.
To me the modified picture looks more like Tarkin.

 

[Aliaz]

I have to disagree. Right Looks more like RO Tarkin.

 

[Futurion]

Original is better.

 

[TaliBane]

That image is taken from a fairly low angle, making the face seem shorter. Other pics seem to show it better and more evenly proportioned.
