Roberto, thanks so much for bringing your awesome vision of Boba to the Shipyards. I was going to PM you at RS and see if you would join here...you must have felt the vibe. Any way as I have said before this is looking great and can't wait to see this when you are done. Welcome to the Yards my Lord!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome LS, and the kind words everyone about this custom figure.  I feel a bit self-serving posting this thread in a few sites, but it is my continued hope that the high-visibility of a figure like this will inspire Hasbro to produce better and better products.

Of COURSE it is self serving, but that's the point of these forums, to self promote your works of art!  I think he definitely came out excellent, the ultimate depiction of what he should look like, and your tutorial is out of this world!

This is the post of the year!  Your details of Fett are spot on and really interesting to read.

The build of your custom Fett is great and the final figure is the best representation I have ever seen of  Boba Fett!

Thanks a million friends!  But don't forget:  This figure is NOT YET FINISHED. There are still MANY final details pending that will be covered in future photo updates so stay tuned! ;D

Roberto, that was one heck of a first post, my man! I too was riveted by your history and commentary of the various boba Fett releases and enjoyed being able to compare all of those figures side by side.
  Your in progress work-up of your boba project shows a passion and attention to detail that is unrivaled by many who don't have your obvious wealth of Patience. I cant wait to see your next update and your further endeavors.

Welcome to the Shipyards!

That was outstanding to say the least. :o  I wish I had that kind of patience to build a figure like that. I can't wait to see some your other or future work. And I was wondering if you do custom vehicles and dioramas too. With your attention to detail and high standards I would love to see a vehicle or a dio from you. Thanks for joining the Yards and sharing your knowledge and skills with us.

Wow, what a great helmet. I know I echo all of the other sentiments, but that hemlet does look good. I can't wait to see how the rest works out. I must say I seem to recall a DarkLord that had a major vintage boxed collection that got water damage and that Darklord redid all of the boxes in a new type of vintage style I thought was just over the top. I probably do not have the right DarkLord, but welcome to the Yards!
