WTC's Customs & Mods: ESB - FETT HELMET

[Waste Time Continuum]

No plans to make a kit. I have a ton of modifications to do as well. Theres a hand full of minor inaccuracies to address, and I basically have to make the leg articulation from the hips down to the toes. I want to make the hips, knees, ankles, and toes articulate, but if I can't make it work, I'll have to settle for him being a statue from the waist down, but that's the last last resort. I think I can make that articulation happen though.

It is already a masterpiece!
I hope you can make it work
I loved the design of the character from when I watched the episode

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

Finished printing the forearms and the hand plate. I still need to print the pistons that go on the left arm. I’m using OT Stormtrooper hands since they are just plain black. The tough part about the hands is going to be the minute finger digit armor and finger tips. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Wow..that is so awesome. I love that character design. I have purchased a 1/6 digital sculpture of the head and having the head printed on Shapeways.
Thanks so much for sharing the in progress efforts.

Been busy over the last 24hrs. Made the hips and thighs. Here’s some pics of the prints. second pic is a scale reference.

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

Here’s mostly every part all test fit together. Let me know if you guys see any glaring accuracy issues. I trust your judgment. Nothing but skilled customizers in this neck of the woods. Second pic is for scale comparison.

I’ve been working on knee articulation all day today. Not printing just playing with Meshmixer, which is a 3D model editor.

Had a flurry of great articulation ideas for the knee and ankle. I’m overbuilding it so it’s not going to be fragile or delicate, and no rattling loose joints or armor plating. I want this to be able to be displayed next to Hot Toys without looking goofy.

Check it out. I know this just looks like a droid leg, but that’s the point. It’s what I’ve been working on all day. And it just looks like a droid leg.

There’s parts from 3 different (modified) models at work here. But it looks like Zero’s leg, so I’m happy, and I learned so much today to help me be better at this. Those with a sharp eye might see one or two bits from the parent models, since I didn’t have time to completely clear off all the extraneous bits.

Brilliant!

 

[Stryker2011]

Looks very cool.

 

[Cagoda]

Wow!! Excellent job

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

Been pretty busy over the last couple months.

I did manage to get some work done on a couple things, Here’s some WIP photos.

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

I found a better body formulation than I was originally using. I’m seeing Fett now more than ever.

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

I’ve also finished formulating the body for Zero. I’m having to basically make the hip articulation, which is so fun. I’m really learning a lot about figure construction from this project.

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

I’ve started working on a Rebel Fleet Trooper.

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

And an Imperial Navy Trooper ANH version with the unusual tunic..

 

[Chakaman]

Good stuff!!
