My ROTJ Boba Build

[Mythosaur]

Here's the progress on the shoulders, I still want to add some of the scratch marks but other than that and a clear coat, I think they are pretty much done. I wish I had taken a "before" picture, because I think they look a lot better. I also have the chest armor pieces going, but I'll take pictures when I'm further along with them.



update: my attempt at doing the scratches

I've been working on getting the chest armor all done, I've had to make a few adjustments to the connections for the vest, the extra thickness made them fit me just slightly differently.



I've also repainted them (except the diamond, I forgot to grab it when I painted), trying to lighten them up a little. I've always liked the Hunt Club Green, but I also think it is a little dark. So my goal was to mix up a lighter green to mist over the Hunt Club. I tried to get the my green close to the Pantone swatch (2409 c) 501st has up for the armor green, but in reality I think it looks more like the Weyerhauser green, maybe a little darker.
Either way, I liked it so I tried it out and it gave the armor more of a medium green color like it should be, I don't think it's perfect, but I do think it is much closer. Here's some more pictures in different lightings, let me know what you think.

Hey all! Hope everyone had a good Easter, my family took a trip for the weekend and I had finished my repaint right before so I still have everything put away, but I am pretty happy with how it all came out. With that done, I decided to focus on my black braid which I didn't have put together quite right so I took it apart and rebraided it.



I also braided in the silver horsehair instead of painting it, I've kind of always wondered how it would look doing it this way, I think it came out pretty good.

Hey guys! Been a while since I posted, I've been gearing up for Comic Con Revolution! We went yesterday and had a blast, even the kids! There were a lot of people that wanted pictures with me and I got some good compliments which makes me feel pretty proud of the work I've done. My wife did get some pics which I want to share, but I do have to say there were some AMAZING cosplayers there and wish I had tried to get more.

This guys Maul is awesome, up close it looks so great! They both got their makeup very even too, I found myself wondering later if they had used body paint.

I was trying to figure out what to do with my hands, they wouldn't let the blaster in (yay California!) I think I look goofy lol

This dude said he's also a Fett, love to see your costume if you are on here man, also a fantastic Cyclops.

I was so impressed with the IG droid, but all these guys looked great! Fennec and Kelleran almost didn't get in the pic but I am glad they did.

Shoulder bell came unbuttoned, but otherwise I really like this photo.

and lastly, we met Young Boba himself, Daniel Logan!

I got him to sign my AOTC DVD and let us get a couple pictures since I was all dressed up. He's a very cool dude and it was really nice talking to him. Definitely a highlight of the day.

Thanks for reading as always, I'm gonna have to do this again next year we had so much fun, I do feel pretty beat though, I spent at least 5 hours suited up (though I did take a break halfway) so time for a little relaxin'!

Awesome pictures! You look great. So cool you got to meet Daniel suited up.
That IG-11 costume is wild too, people are so creative!
