Yeah, Pedro's still 5'11", but the helmet is shaped more to him, so it would work on probably at least several inches shorter.Īs for slight.
How to mod boba fett series#
I have high hopes rumors are true and the next - or one of the next - Black Series helmet(s) is Din's from The Mandalorian. A decade ago, I'd suggest a Rubies two-piece Jango for someone between five and six feet, but they're harder to come but these days. That said, I'd only recommend a 1:1 Boba for someone six-foot-plus of average or more build. Look past the shoulder and collar plates, which can bulk one up a bit, to see how big 6'1" Jeremy Bulloch was in comparison to the helmet. It can be easy to forget that, back in 1980, that thing was a bit more of a bucket on Boba: I mean, maybe? We're used to a certain fitted-ness, from Jango and Din. Until I can get things set up to photograph more, here's the best side-on shot of the HBS so you can compare to the side shots of the Pre-Pro 3 and ESB Hero posted on the previous page: But I'm probably demented, so there's that. Or, in simpler language, how much is your time worth? Unless you're someone like me who likes the challenge. versus less of the first but requiring more of the second. It's an equation: Initial outlay in $$$ to minimize time, effort, and cost of materials on your end. Everything off about this one can be addressed with time on the part of the end-user. Anything out there more accurate out of the box is also more expensive. In detailing, there are discrepancies, most of which I'm addressing (and part of what's taking me a while): The bottom edge is straight, where the original has a slight concave "kink" to it at around the ears, so the front "tusks" framing the visor should be about a centimeter longer, which will shift the location of the left-tusk rectangular notch (that is missing, anyway, and that I added in what turns out to be the wrong spot) the upper-right earcap needs to be extensively reworked, not least is shifting the whole thing up a good half-inch and not all the molded-in damage is in exactly the right spot (never mind issues with the killstripes or the really fiddly scratches and weathering), but I'm not bothering with those, since I'm not building this as a Boba.Īs to the pro/con versus a cast helmet with lineage? Well, for starters, ya gets what ya pays for. Size-wise, it's so close as to make no nevermind.

For starters, they made it symmetrical, overall, where the original so wasn't (the right side of the sculpted helmet that all six fiberglass helmets were pulled from is almost an inch longer on the right side at the ear than the left). It's a lot for something a lot of people would never notice, but if the objective is to see how close we can get this lid to the originals, I feel like I gotta at least make the attempt.Īre you talking paint apps, or overall physical shape? Both are close, but not 100%.

More, it will mean cutting and re-shaping the bottom wedges of the left and right-lower earcaps. To prevent any cracking along the extension, d'you think I should use a thin-thin layer of plastic glued down over the exterior? I'm thinking my paper-thin. I'll go back and clarify the language in my previous post.ĮTA: From rough eyeballing with a straight-edge held up to the monitor, and using both the pic I posted and the one you posted, MMM, it looks like correcting that lack of kink on the HBS will add 3/8" to 1/2" at center-front.
How to mod boba fett plus#
Because it would mean the interior, as well, plus having to make a completely new visor, rather than re-using the stock one with more protection.īut that's no excuse for getting snippy. I'm still on the fence as to whether to correct that on the HBS and, if I do, what approach to take. Hoping for critiques, insights, or suggestions. I was just a little honked off that y'all were commenting on that rather than the mod in progress. When I said the original helmet, I meant collectively the six Lucasfilm assets made in 1978, as opposed to any replicas, toys, or other reproductions made since. It's been a rough several months and I'm on edge more than not.
