[YakFace]

Tamer: Thanks for the front page always makes my day.
botwt: Thank you!
JLaban4: Glad you like it!
ActionFigEmpire: Thank you brother! I would love to see a nice Fett offered as a collector piece from Hasbro.
JediMindtrix: Sorry homie I was in a rush! Thanks for the comments and of course your honest opinions.

So Im going to post up some wip shots that I took on how I made my Fett helmet. Im at work right now otherwise I would take a shot of my custom helmet next to the vintage Fett helmet so you guys can see just how much bigger mine is. I think you will at least get an idea of how I got this thing to work, it is held together with Super glue, green stuff, and about 50 "F - bombs". Haha!

Very cool Boba!!! Impressive work on the helmet.

[YakFace]

The white parts are from a vintage snowtrooper helmet that I cut up to achieve a larger dome so my custom head sculpt could fit inside the helmet. I used the pit of carkoon Boba Fett head for the front and back of the helmet. After I bashed the parts together I dremeled out the insides and used Kneadatite (green stuff) to add a smooth finish over the helmet. The side details are all sculpted by hand using green stuff as well as the rim that goes around the backside.

Looks great! I love the attention to detail shown here. You have captured some great poses in these shots! Loving it!

[CloneSniper78]

Ah man this Fett looks great. I've got the parts all ready to put together a ROTJ Boba similar to this. I think yours is probably better. Again, great job!

[Mungo Baobab]

Wow...that is an awesome Fett! I would call this a definitive figure.

[YakFace]

Thank you guys for all the great feedback on Fett. I have completed my next figure in my Return of the Jedi series Im working on. Good old Bib Fortuna, I did some minor tweaks to him like I resculpted is mouth and teeth along with making his "Leku" seamless by sculpting over them. I aslo didnt like his belly sash that used to hold his knife so I cut that off and sculpted my own that lays flat instead of sticking out. Then I just repainted the whole figure and ended up with what you see here. Enjoy! P.S. All my pictures expand when you click on them!!!!

Jabba no bahddah! Awesome! Love this update! ROTJ has always been my favorite over all SW film. That has a lot to do with the Jabba scenes, so seeing you apply your master skills to it is just icing and cake!

[YakFace]

@AFE: Thanks Sam! Yeah I always loved ROTJ and was the first SW movie I saw as a kid and the whole Jabba scene really stuck with me. Thanks for the praise homie.

[Mando Assasin]
