Worked on this model last night. Downloaded a ton of reference photos from TheDentedHelmet.com for the RotJ Boba Fett armor. I have a complete log of which paints I used for each part if anyone wants to know what a certain color is. Hopefully soon I'll get a light box setup and can take better quality photos with better white balance and a more even coverage of light.

I have a second one of this model that I'll be doing in ESB colors(even though the rifle and ammo belt don't match that movie's props) and I will likely pick up 2 more to do prototype and a preproduction versions as well. Weathering this little guy will be a challenge. It's a very difficult scale to work on such a complex character in.

Sorry for the focus being slightly off. Didn't notice it until I uploaded the photos!!!

Looks fantastic. I've always enjoyed compiling photo references for the projects that I work on. Great job!

looks great! you have good brush technique and the colour choices are great.

have you considered adding a dark wash such as nuln oil to the crevasses and undersides of the cloth and armor to help give the model more depth? it really helps the paint job, Pop!

Your paint work is great, but I dont understand why so many of the same guy?

I'll be adding a wash very soon, after all of the base colors are down. Then highlights, then weathering.

As for why I want to do all 4 major variants of Boba Fett: I'm a huge Fett fan. He is far and away my favorite Star Wars character, and as such I try to collect as much of him as I can. I also plan to get the Bandai 1/12 model of him to paint up which I can do more movie accurate weathering on, but sadly the kit only includes parts for the ESB version. If I'm insanely lucky someone will make a set of resin parts to convert it into RotJ.

This model is far from done. Only the major base colors are laid out right now.

I have the Bandai kit on my pile of 'todo' projects at home. Those kits are insanely well done for the price. $15-20? Outrageous!

I also have the old Kaiyodo vinyl kit (1/9th I think) waiting to be built. Too many Fett's, too little time

All of the recent Bandai kits are insanely impressive at insanely great cost. They have the experience from the huge gunpla industry that we don't really see in the US, but their ability to make affordable plastic injected kits with amazing detail is years ahead of anything produced by Western companies.

Here he is after a full wash of Devlan Mud and then some further shading around major areas using a water thinned black ink.

Now to clean things like the shoulders and knees back up then layering highlights on the jumpsuit.

huge improvement. looks solid!!!

The jumpsuit is giving me some problems. It's a very small scale to do any decent layering in. Preshading didn't work as well as I had hoped. At this point I may repaint it from scratch. Thank the Maker for thinning my paints and using a wet palette.

Ok. So he's about 99% done. I'm still not in love with the jumpsuit. I know I can do better, but for the time crunch I am on it's good enough until I have time to redo it. Still need to add at least some semblance of the mythosaur symbol on his left shoulder and weather the missile on the jetpack better, as well as dirty up the jumpsuit with some pigment powders.

I tried a couple different photo techniques since I'm still working with just my cell phone and a light that uses a European refresh rate(gets really annoying at times) and no light box.

Criticism is encouraged. Be as harsh as you want. I can't get better without perspective on where I need to improve!
