Group Project #13 - Jango Fett

[CHEWIE]

That looks really good!  Is quite a bit of it sculpted?  Wow, really good work!  I"m sure this will put my entry to shame!

Hey Chewie,

Thanks for the compliments. All of the leg armor and most of the holsters was scuplted using premo and epoxy putty.

[Nerfherder]

Here's something different... My vintage style Jango Fett. I made this a couple years ago.

My microman arrived today. I guess I should get the dremel out and get cracking or this will end up like my microman Scorch.

[CHEWIE]

Started on mine today.  Might have it up tonight, keeping fingers crossed.

 

[CHEWIE]

Whoo Hoo I got this one up before the deadline!  Been so busy around here so I'm glad to get this done.  I hope I didn't do too much of a rush job on it.  His paint looks a little darker than it really is... seems to look a bit better in person.

I wasn't really too happy with how the armor looked... liked the color, but thought it didn't look like I wanted it to.  So I repainted it a bit, and this pic looks more like what the figure looks like in person.



 

[Phrubruh]

I do like the repainted version better. It seem cleaner to me.

Chewie, Jango looks alot better the second time around.
Very nice work.

Wow guys all those Jango's look great!  It's cool because each one has its own look and feel yet all remain very much Jango-ish:)

After seeing so many cool Jango's lately and seeing how the Group Project is Jango Fett I figured I would bust my butt and finish mine.  It's not entirely finished, but will give you a good idea:)  For the helmet I'm using one of Glassman's great casts.  I will probably repaint his 'back-up' jetpack as well since I'm more partial to it.  his pistols I'm finishing up too.

My first SW-related custom was a Jango Fett back in 2001 (or thereabouts) and so making this was kinda special for me and so I'm also including a pic of the original. . .please bare in mind i was but a padawan at the time, hehe.

[stormtripper]

thats easily the best jango I have ever seen, without question. WOW that makes mine look novice!

Aeseven - that looks AWESOME.  This is going to sound totally perverted, but can you provide a close up of the detailing around the, uh, "crotch-area"  It looks you've you've got some amazing details in the holsters, straps, etc..

[Glassman6]

Beautiful AE77, Just beautiful. 
Did you sculpt over the legs of VOTC fett? 
I'm still deciding how i tackle the legs.

As always, stunning work.

[Phrubruh]

Excellent work guys! Just a reminder that this group project ends on tuesday.

Here's mine, I just need to get around to ordering his helmet.
