HenrikLego Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Earlier this year Jeremy Bulloch, who played Boba Fett, visited my hometown Fredrikstad (Norway) for a sci-fi festival. I found out I wanted to build a model of Boba Fett and show it to him when he got here. Unfortunately I underestimated the task so the model wasn't 100% complete when he was here (and not at all stable!). But I brought the model anyway and showed it to him (I even got the stand signed!). Here are two photos from that day: Bulloch was really nice and the cinema manager wanted to send him a copy of the model once it was complete. Talk about giving a Lego-builder performance anxiety! I got back home and decided to redesign the structure of the whole model. I got a lot of inspiration looking at other builders way of solving figures like this. Finally, after a few months of testing and trying (hey, I got two small kids), I feel done! Here are some pictures of the completed model: The model is now packed carefully down and will be shipped to mr. Bulloch next week. I can't wait to hear what he thinks of it. My own copy (with the signed stand) will stay in my shelf together with my BB-8, which is the same scale: Edited August 10, 2017 by HenrikLego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XBrickmonster Posted August 10, 2017 @HenrikLego This is very good! I love how sleek it is, and very realistic!Nice addition of the cape as well. My only issue with it is that the helmet is a little wide, and it might look better if you make it a little taller? That's a very cool story that you got to meet Jeremy Bulloch! Boba Fett is one of my favorite SW characters. Nice BB-8 too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MovieMocs Posted August 10, 2017 It's great. Love the idea and the way you formed that Idea into a model. I do agree with Xbrickmonster. The helmet is a bit wide and I think so is the body. Besides that It's great. Love the jetpack :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenrikLego Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks to the both of you, and yes, I agree that the proportions are a bit off with the body and the head. Right now my mind need a bit of time away from the model, but I will look into this in the future and remember your ideas for improvement. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenrikLego Posted September 14, 2018 About a year has gone, but now I finally found energy to look at this model and try to improve it. I am actually going to give the updated model to the guy on the left side in the picture on top. He turns 40 tomorrow. We became friends after that picture was taken and it therefore seems like a nice gift. Here are some pictures of the updated model, hope you like it: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azani Posted September 15, 2018 As it runs, the latter model certainly looks a bit more like Fett with respect to the upper legs and the flaring of the tool belt. Nice work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
