WIP Boba Fett: The Book of Boba Fett

[EColson6]

Here is what I have so far.

Which CRL are you using so we can look at it.  

The only active Boba Fresh CRL is the Mando S2: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:BH_Boba_MandoS2_Repaint

If your end game is to get admission into the 501st you'd have to follow this one.

@Swiftcloud could be a great resource on this build.

So right off the bat, if you’re going for Boba Fresh and the S2 CRL, the helmet will not pass.  It’s a RotJ style model with a Boba Fresh paint.  There are subtle but significant differences in the helmet called out in the CRL that are judged for basic approval including the dent and the turn signals:

The helmet, including its shape, proportions, details and greeblies, is not an OT-style Boba Fett helmet but is true to The Mandalorian series version.

The dome features the iconic dent but is noticeably smaller than the ROTJ Hero dent, in the forward-left section of the helmet.

There are 2 “turn signal” details above the band in the front of the helmet that are noticeably smaller and farther apart from each other than what is seen in the ROTJ Hero version. The left-facing turn is painted bright red, and the right-facing turn is dark blue.

I haven’t looked deeper yet as the helmet is a pretty big starting point…

P.S.  Not to pile on, but the jet pack is also the wrong design for this version and the belt would not pass muster.  Unfortunately, you’re going to need some significant changes to align with your goal.

i would strongly encourage you to step back, carefully review the relevant CRL, and start working from that road map and keep us posted here on a regular basis as you continue.

Hi Eric.

 As was stated above, the version of Boba Fett that it looks like you are leaning towards is from the Book Of Boba Fett. Which (I don’t believe) has an approved CRL yet. When you contacted me on Messenger, I didn’t realize that you were looking to get approved. I thought you were just making that version just for yourself.

 The most recent version that does currently have a CRL is the Mandalorian - Season 2 - Repainted (aka Boba Fresh or MS2).

 This costume is almost entirely different from the Book Of Boba Fett costume.

 Boba Fresh/MS2 is the version that I was approved as. If MS2 is the version you are meaning to create, then please reach out to me and I can help guide you to the correct articles of armor and accessories that you will need. Unfortunately, the current armor and accessories that you have acquired are based on the B.O.B.F. version wishing is currently not an approved 501st costume. - You can continue your build in this version, but you will not be able to apply for approval until (or if) a CRL is released.

 But again, if you meant to be perusing the build for the MS2 version (the same one that I wear), let me know. I can definitely help you get what you need to get this version approved. Just let me know. I’m glad to help and share my knowledge and experience.

here is the link to the MS2 Fett CRL:

 Let us know if this is the version you meant to start on and we can help you get in the correct path.

Thanks all for the feedback. Yes I'm  going for the Book of Boba Fett look.  I'm happy to take a pause and can come back to this once there is an official CRL for it. Does anyone know if that's in the works?

Not sure how far along any CRL is for BOBF. But check the FB forums, I’m sure it’s a common topic by now.

 And thanks for understanding that we are not just harping on you. It’s best to get started in the right track rather then getting told later that you might be way off target. Research, ask questions, study references and most of all, don’t give up! You can do it. Just know that Boba Fett is notoriously a long build/approval process. Keep us involved, we are here to help.
Best of luck my friend!

The bounty hunter's guild will be in charge of creating the CRL

Just that fact alone would make me not super hopeful to see a CRL any time in the short term. 

If you're dying to do a Boba Fresh the Mando S2 is pretty slick.  If you can wait (which may be literal years) then eventually a BoBF CRL will come out.

HI all I message Sarra and she said this would be good place to start.

Again, keep in mind this is the Mercs costume definition and standards.  You can start with that but you should join the BHG and track the status of that CRL as that is the only path to 501st approval regardless of other club standards.

At the risk of being repetitive, the path of least resistance is the published Mando S2 CRL and tapping into the expertise of Jerred and others here.  You’re going to have to rework your existing components regardless of CRL but it at least removes the Legion administrative delays from the equation.

Your choice, and good luck.
