From the moment I saw Boba Fett on the big screen in Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, I was smitten. The enigmatic bounty hunter spoke no more than four lines and had a grand total of six and a half minutes of screen time in the entirety of the original trilogy. Nonetheless, he made such a tremendous impression on me that decades later, I would build a faithful replica of his costume from Episode VI - The Return Of The Jedi.
The helmet replica in this album was masterfully painted by Grant Baker who meticulously recreated every paint and weathering detail on a kit that allegedly had lineage to the production helmet.
