Fettski's ROTJ Boba
« on: Sep 24, 2013, 08:35 PM »
I have been posting updates over on The Dented Helmet and figured i should share here as well.

So far i have purchased:
Armor and gauntlets from RKD
Helmet from ASOK CC budget Boba
US army shelter half
hoses for gauntlets
chest display from Fettronics
soft parts( flight suit, vest, spats, pouches, and neck seal) from Arkady
RF remote kit from Salamander King
RF top lights from JC27
decals from lucksy31
jetpack, Girth belt, ammo belt, gloves, boots- MOW
jetpack harness-Kcr7pr
Wookie Braids- woodman
Collar/cod studs-jodokast89
Resin EE3 kit from an unknown origin


Here are some of the latest pics.


cod and collar- painted, weathered, sealed.




shoulders are reversed in pic, the one with decal(worn on left) is painted weathered and sealed. the other is painted and weathered.



right chest, painted weathered, sealed



compared to other chest, still needs weathering by the display cutout.



All of them together



remaining are just a progress update for my new rear belt armor, gaunts, and back

Your armor looks really good vod, I'm bookmarking this so I can see it completed  :D

I've always been curious about this process though, before I found the Mercs I wanted to do a canon Boba Fett costume. So I was wondering which paints did you use to get the green, the yellow, and red?

Thanks.  The colors i used can be found herehttp://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/stormtrooperguys-rotj-armor-rattlecan-colors-27235/.

Here is an update on the gauntlets.  The remaining greebs are being painted and will be attached shortly.

Most of the painting is done.  The left chest is having the weathering around the display added.  the gauntlets will have the greebs added soon.  the knee darts will be added and some weathering shortly.  Soft parts should be in by mid November then i will begin weathering them and adding Velcro for the plates and getting the alignment correct.  Hope to be ordering Jetpack and Harness soon.

Here is the last pics of the armor until I get my soft parts in.  Gauntlets will be getting greebs and electronics soon.  Then I get to start the painting of the helmet.  The Remote RF is coming along and is already fabbed up, just need new electronics for the top and then disassemble for the paint up. 
Things i need to buy, frame for jetpack, jetpack, boots, gloves, ee3, girth belt and ammo belt.  I really hope to have this ready to debut at Dragon Con next year!!!

Looking good! I would give all your armor a rub-down with #000 or #0000 steel wool to deaden the yellows and dull the silver a bit.  It helps to blend all of the colors together a tad and give the plates unity. 

I prefer the #000 but all my steel wool pads are nice and worn out.  If you use brand new ones the #0000 might be a better bet.

It is a shiny material.  It is not the same fabric but very close, its just that it has NO weathering on it and you can see so much of it.  Once i get the plates mounted on it and a little weathering it should come together better.  I havent had a chance to do another test fit since then but i am concerned about the diameter of the arm openings, they look a little tight now that i look at the pic.  I'll have to try it on again and take a closer look.
from CRL: Must be light gray in color and weathered.
The actual fabric is on the right.

Here is a very initial test fitting.  Plates will be adjusted, weathering will be added, etc.  I was working on attachment method and really wanted to get a pic with what i had on just to see how it looked.  The black spot over the chest plate is part of the wiring for the display that hasn't been routed yet.

Nice kit!

The shoulder bell looks like it needs to come up a bit. As you mentioned the chest armor is not placed right.

Your thigh pouches look a bit low and the legs are a bit baggy, you could sew the crotch in a bit that will pull the thighs up and tighten up the baggy look.

Good choice on the ROTJ, too many ESB's out there  ;)

The legs have had me pretty upset lately as a matter of fact. I am thinking about folding the suit over itself under the vest to pull the whole lower body up a little bit with snaps.

Looking good! The chest/ab looks like it could come up a hair, as the ab is hanging off the bottom.

That's one way of going about it, but you'd have much better success sewing a panel out of the midsection rather than just bunching it up and adding snaps to keep it up.  That will lead to problems in your midsection with so many other pieces going on.  Many Fetts have issues here anyway getting a cod, girth, ammo belt, divers belt, and vest hem to all sit properly.

Decided to try a new test fit since some flight suit alterations, could use some feedback as i move forward if anything needs to be changed. Bear in mind, weathering will be after i get it all looking right. I was hoping to have the girth belt on but it is too big and will be exchanged for a smaller one this week. Once this much is sorted out, i will add the connection for gauntlet hoses in the flight suit and start getting flak vest and plates aligned.
