Thanks for the mustard. I already bought some!
So today, I did some more cleanup and detailing of the eye slot. I also squared the cheek hollow on the outside, so that the corners are sharper and not rounded.
After photographing it, I decided to sell it. I posted it for sale on TheDentedHelmet, and someone spoke for it pretty quickly, so payment's pending.
Honestly, I'm very good at
starting projects but not finishing them. I have too many "stokes in the fire" as it were:
1. Darth Ugly
2. Golden Armor Vader
3. Rescued Don Post Deluxe
4. Homer1138 DP DLX recast
5. Rubie's Supreme
When I looked at how complex Boba Fett's paint scheme was, I thought it was too big a distraction. I couldn't justify the cost of the paint to go into a Golden Armor Fett when I have 5 Vaders (e.g. Darth Incomplete, Darth Unfinished, Darth Come-on-You-Moron, Darth Hey-Quit-Slacking, and Darth ARE-WE-THERE-YET?!) waiting on me for more detailed work.
So this concludes the Golden Armor Boba Fett. It turns out it was based on a 1995 Don Post. However, Golden Armor did a modification to make the face wider to make it look more like the Sgt. Fang "Mystery" helmet, so despite its flaws it really does have some charm.
Let me get those 5 Vaders out of the way first, and then I'll re-examine Boba Fett. At that point, I'll probably go for a SgtFang or something else. But, knowing me, I'll probably have two more Vader investments quite soon....
