Hello all!  I've wanted to do an actual Fett kit for years, but the crazy level of detail has always been intimidating...well, with the new look I finally decided to start my build!  This build will, more than likely, be very slow at the start as I'm active duty and preparing for a move over the summer.  So I won't get to really start digging in until we get settled at our new location.  This is what I have so far:

Shirt and pants have arrived


I got the 3d files for the buckle and rifle from KR-TEK:



I found the boots on Amazon:


I'll be getting the rope, for the girth belt, from Wal-Mart:


and after a tea bath it comes out like this


I got the files for the helmet, gauntlets and knee's from Woodtec



I also have a file for the jet pack.

I'm gonna have the wife make my vest and spats, i'm just waiting for a pattern for the spats.

I'll be cutting/shaping all of my armor out of 1/4" thick sintra and i'll be doing my own leatherwork for the belt/pouches!

Hey man. Great start! I am working in this as well. Where did you source the shirt? That seems to be the only bit of puzzle in still working out

[Jaster Fett]

MOAR BATHROBE BOBA!

[Bryn Cin'Prudii]

Gonna follow this thread cause I have a feeling it will be delightful.

[Macdm]

Jupp me too, I wanna do some robe Boba myself one day, especially cause it will suit me just fine.

 Keep going!

Finally i found a use for my well  fed body.

I was a little worried about that rope until you dulled it down.  MUCH better. 

[Rhax Stohl]

Just finished printing/assembling the pistol!

[Rhax Stohl]

So, i've pretty much printed everything I can before the big move, so here's what i've got done:









I've got the leather for the belt, holster, and pouches and i'm gonna try to get the spats done before the move.

The good news is that even if the printer is packed, its not like youll have a shortage of things to sand.

[Rhax Stohl]

Hey all, it's been a while since i've posted BUT, I have been making progress!

Finally got all the rope for my girthbelt:


I cut a small piece to test out tea bath's and I think i've got it figured out:


Got the leather for my belt/pouches/holster:



Cut and dyed the extra fabric that hangs down like a half kama:


Been doing A LOT of printing:






Started on the jet pack (almost done):




I've also got the boots, leather for the spats (currently being made), and I just ordered my flak vest!  At this point, I just have to finish printing the jet pack and the rifle and i'll have everything!

[Rayne]

Glad to see you’re making progress! Now the sanding beings 

[Rhax Stohl]

More progress, it's moving slow, but getting there!

vest came in last week


EE3 is printed and I started to glue it together.  I'll wait to mount the scope and some of the smaller pieces until after painting




Belt/holster/pouches done



started to glue the jetpack

[Rhax Stohl]

Got my soft parts finished and tried them on together for the first time!

[Rhax Stohl]

It's been a loooong time since i've posted, but I FINALLY picked back up on my Boba build! 

started working on the texture element, took a bit of trial and error, but I think I got it:





I went with the Montana brand paints and I'm really happy with how they came out!

This was after paint, but prior to black wash:





This is after a black wash:





Finished product:


Here's the armor:



Jet pack:

You have a really good start going on, it's going to be a nice kit when it's done.

There are just some things that I can see, that I want to mention

The belt buckle don´t seem to be accurate in comparence with the CRL and reference materials, and the double sleeves looks to be on the larger side, could use some tailoring.

It could be due the lighting in the pictures that the left turn signal looks green. Just want to remind that the CRL says that the left signal should be painted navy blue, and finally just make sure that the paint chipping and weathering on the helmet are painted to match visual references as closely as possible in weathering, damage, and overall wear.

Keep up the good work!
