A good start. My crits for now are the upper side edges of the visor should be square and not pointed. I have a Lucasfilm Boba Fett Magazine, I'll scan some pics tomorrow and post them up, failing that head over to www.theforce.net and check out their multimedia section under characters https://multimedia.theforce.net/image...jpg&img=16&tt=

Good start though

The model looks good. I look forward to seeing how you texture the rust. You'd think a bounty hunter would have enough money for a drycleaner though.

Don't forget to back up your files next time.

Boba's armor is Mandolorian, its ancient alien technology that is extremely hard to reproduce.
(the clonetroopers look the same, but its different material)
Fixing his armor would cost him more then half a spaceship armada user added image

Oh well, back to real life, and the model... its looking great!
Cant wait to see his weapon user added image
