Well at least the ash is really easy to completely remove if you want it clean again, or if it was an accident.

 

[eczamurai]

If you want it clean WHY COVER IT WITH ASH IN THE FIRST PLACE?

 

[zeiss]

not sure lol, does it look that way? bought mine second hand

The neck seems to look slightly longer. However, that could be because of the way the outfit is futzed.

maybe, dont know

Been ages since I posted pics, but wanted to post the pics of the " final " product.. Am happy as he is on the shelve.. for now, I know I can do WAY better than this but I have failed to aquire a nice other Boba helmet 1/6th scale to repaint, thing is.. I found out Medi's plastic basically loses alot of detail when you use nail polish remover to remove the paint, which means the helmet's sculpt is softer than it should be.. WHICH SUCKS. because the helmet repaint was awesome lol.

Anyone got a better idea as to how to start painting a next helmet should I acquire one? Nail polish is no good, ruins the sculpt. Just paint over the factory paint job? :S

anyway, here he is with his earpieces which I haven't repainted yet, beefed him up a bit, fully weathered his clothes, repainted EVERYTHING apart from his gauntlets and gloves and jetpack, dyed his clothes the proper color, and lowered his jetpack.

Will see this as a test piece from now on. Next Fett I take on (Sideshow, medi, doesnt matter really) will be bloody PERFECT.

So this is basically a request for anyone out there getting no use for Medi fett, if you want to sell the helmet, PLEASE let me know, I need another shot at this!

and if not.. I pray sideshow will do good at theirs!

That looks sick man... best Boba (even incomplete) I've seen.

Nail polish remover contains acetone. You should never use it on plastic as it will devolve it to some extent.

thats the whole point. It IS really nice. Repaint wise I couldnt have done much better, it's completely screen accurate but that _____ING ACETONE in the nail polish remover softened the sculpt so there is that loss of detail..
But it can be SO MUCH better. Really takes the piss out of me.

[FLOSI]

[Americruiser]

I agree... Just outstanding! Do you have any other cusom Mandalorians?

 

[eczamurai]

nope just Boba

 

[eczamurai]

GREAT news! Found not one, but 2 more Medi helmets, I'm going to have a blast making the very best Fett ever.
Will also be putting him on a Slim TT, as well as my Jedi Luke and Emperor, just so they all match in scale!

Will hopefully post pics in about 2 months!

Sounds great, congrats on your score!

Will also be putting him on a Slim TT

Did you buy a stock pile? I've been wanting to get a few more of these, but they are way too much on ebay. Hopefully they will be releasing these again soon.
