I painted the brown leg bits black and took off the soft goods at the waist. You already hit it with the dull coat, but otherwise, it really improves the look of the kit, in my opinion.
Aside form toys and everything, i am really enjoying looking at uncle robo trying new stuff. Sometimes even for young people doing new stuff is not easy, may feel scary, but thriving forward with creativity and grace for someone who may not be a youngster (haha i absolutly mean no disrispect). Freaking inspiring. Shoutout to Robo's creativty for not aging a bit. Happy holidays.
Hey thanks I appreciate that. I just like trying and learning new things every now and then. Hard to get out of my comfort zone but I get excited when I do.
This kit was my absolute very first one and it certainly did take some elbow grease lol. But I had so much fun making it! I put together a Grogu recently and am gonna move to Mando soon
Watching you shakily apply decals and paint was giving me second-hand anxiety, and the music didn't help! You've mentioned having shaky hands before but honestly, I'm like half your age and shake just as much, if not more. Great job on this! I've seen some Star Wars model kits at decent prices at department stores, and I might give one a go... whatever the easiest one is.
It doesn't help that I drink a lot of caffeine in the morning, haha. But, the trick is to hold the piece you're painting and cup your hands together, get them both shaking together. And all the kits are about the same level, human types are fairly easy. Then there's C-3PO with a couple of tricksies, and then the most difficult is probably Grievous. Cue some to swoop in and comment about "It's no Gundam Master Grade" haha, but even with easier kits there's a learning curve if you haven't done them before, like I was before these Star Wars figure kits.
Hey Robo, for an idea for the tubes on the arm, go to Wal-mart and get a pair of shoes that has the tree looking thing holding them together because lots of times they have that rubbery string on it and that works great to replace the tubes with, it is nice and stretchy i have done it with Black series figures, just glue it in place, hope this is an idea for you and great video as always.
This is Robo's first step towards making ASMR videos. He'll cut the music for the next one, giving viewers a false sense of security before he randomly shouts "ULTIMAAAAAAAAAAAATES!"
Hey Robo, I just noticed this in the Mandalorian model kit, The additional Boba Fett armor can be like the one with the episode where Mando gets the armor from Chapter 9: The Marshal. Also, in Chapter 10 where he got ambush in the first scene and speeder got destroyed, so he bundled up and hang with a metal stick. Can be a cool idea to be pose for the mandalorian model kit.
Hi Robo, I just finished building The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor) Kit!!! These kits are a lot of fun!!! I painted all the Beskar parts using Tamiya X-10 Gunmetal...Looks fantastic. Have a wonderful Holiday Seasoon!!! Peace!!!
Great little tutorial video, Robo. I will most definitely be using this video when I'm building mine. Also, its a good looking model kit, and obviously seems very similar to the Mandalorian model kit (which I have experience with) so building this shouldn't take long. Like you, Robo, I will never use the Temora Morrison head sculpt (unless Casting Cave or someone else makes a fully painted one for this kit) and those plastic hoses annoy the hell out of me. I really hope that I can mix the original Boba Fett parts that came with Mando, and the parts that came with this Boba Fett, cause that might be an interesting extra for my shelf.
I just ordered another original Fett kit to do another Franken-Fett, gotta use those extras. And yeah, most of the kits are similar in build, takes me about 2 hours all said and done.
Neat how they interlocked the different colored sprues. Me, I’d have. A bunch of bowls ready for each small part. Then again, I do Lego in my lap while watching movies on laptop.
Great video & enjoyed the almost speed build....build with the music background. Probably wouldn't have watched a 30min video of this but this was perfect & worked great. Would love to see more of these Robo
My Boba tubes broke, so I used the rubber tubes from a black series IG-88. They're dark grey rather than black, but you get enough length, they're a good size and they look good. I just super glued it in place at each end.
I do love me some bandai model kits. It's been a little while since I've built one, hopefully Santa leaves this under the tree for me! (And by Santa,I mean my wife.)
I really liked the build, but I had SO much trouble with the decals. I couldn't get them to peel off the paper at all. I wanted to research and see if this was an issue with others or if I just happened to draw a short straw at Target. The assembled kit still looks great but I would love to be able to add my decals.
Love the Bandai kits! I think I got a Han that I haven't put together yet? Maybe that will be my rainy Thursday afternoon? If the kitties let me off my bed, they're both cuddling on my stomach asleep (I've had to pee for over an hour but can't bring myself to wake them up)
what a fun kit! I used the alternate shoulders and gave it a repaint to turn mine into his acid wash look from the tragedy episode. was a super fun project and I like it way better than Hasbro's attempt lol.
I almost bought this today. I’ve never built a model in my life (I’m 35). This looks easy enough but I didn’t want to have to paint anything (which it doesn’t look like you have to). I don’t think I have a snipper tool though…
Too be fair they do HIGHLY recommend you paint these kits, whilst they are close to average toys fresh out of the box with some paint they turn into the best collectables on the market, I think so far I've spent about 30 hours fully painting my boba model kit and paint wise is close to being on par with Sideshow (except the head I can't paint faces for the life of me)
Ok I really enjoyed that. A bit of insight into the equipment you use please. Even just as subtitles if you don't want to talk whilst making the model. Thanks for the content.
Could totally just use that head on the clone trooper body if you wanted an unmasked clone. The funny thing is how forgiving the sculpt is when it comes to painting it. I chose to paint mine as he was seen in the espidoe "The Beleiver" because I liked all the scarring and acid wounds. it lacks some of the scars for that version, but it doesn't look that much off. So if you wanted to, it's an option. I have seen a couple people make the clones more human, with face sculpts.
Sooo...it is technically possible - with a repaint of those silvery parts - to create a weathered, "The Tragedy", look? If that were the case, I would exchange the fabric parts. They look a little goofy to me. The brown pants are fine, if you give them a little black wash, as his pants were a little dirty during the whole ordeal.
I think the belt is different, but apart from that, I don't see why you couldn't make it work. It would definitely look pretty cool. One good tip for easily adding battle damage like that is to use a sponge and dip it lightly in paint. If you do it right it'll create a really nice mottled effect.
@@marvelsomething1952 Hmm...I might not get this one. After a closer look at the Hasbro Black Series Tusken Boba, I decided to get another one of those. His articulation is sufficient for me, and the pants and soft goods look much better IMO. I will rob the flak vest and armour off of a Deluxe Black Series Boba and put it on the Tusken guy (after I removed his sweater thingy and the belt).
@@marvelsomething1952 Yes, I know, but it is not sufficiently accurate for me. To get this right, it needs a little work. Also, for some reason I do not like the headsculpt on this version, but on the robed version. I have seen a video of somebody who kitbashed the weathered Boba out of the Deluxe and the robed one, and it was perfect. So I will follow this route. I considered this Bandai model kit, because they are usually of better quality. But on the model kit, the pants look somewhat...off to me.
It's been too long since I've done a model kit. Probably won't do Fett, but you got me itching to do something. Also, can we expect another Franken-Fett in an upcoming Play Day?
Hi Robo, im from Italy, I wanted to know if you know a site where i can order the Bandai model kit for a fair price, because on amazon or ebay i have to pay around 100€ for one, thank you, much love, i love your video’s
Idk why I'm watching this, I mean I'll always watch Robo, but stopped watching SWs content because to me it's dead with a few good projects anyway interesting video Robo 🔥🔥
Great video as always, Your Videos convinced me to get into model kits. I was wondering if there's any news on the Skeleton figures? how is production or anything? thanks and have a good one.
Seems like 80% reuse, which is ok since it's the same guy in the same armor and the base figure was already great, but I will stay with my own Tython and BoBF customs from the original figure, with some soft goods and paint, really satisfying to have some unique pieces (and I find a bit sad they didn't paint the head, like they did with stormtrooper Luke and Han)
I painted the brown leg bits black and took off the soft goods at the waist. You already hit it with the dull coat, but otherwise, it really improves the look of the kit, in my opinion.
Okay, that trick with putting the muzzle on the rifle barrel BEFORE clipping it out? That's genius.
Yeah, it's way easier than fiddling with that tiny part all loose and running away from you.

Ooo, not a bad idea, give them some stretch.
thank you,yup i used it on both Boba and Jango😁
you can just buy elastic string in various diameters at hobby lobby. they even have gold and silver, as well as black.
That's actually really clever. I think I'm going to try that on my copy.
I got this guy at the end of august! I still have him as of now and is still fun
Need more videos like this!!
This was very satisfying to watch.
@robo it was satisfying to see you put this together.
This is Robo's first step towards making ASMR videos. He'll cut the music for the next one, giving viewers a false sense of security before he randomly shouts "ULTIMAAAAAAAAAAAATES!"
Did you miss my Stranger Things Demogorgon ASMR video?

Great video Robo! I’ve got the older Bandai Boba Fett chilling in my backlog of kits. Might have to dig him out! Thanks!
Excellent kit!

Me, I’d have. A bunch of bowls ready for each small part. Then again, I do Lego in my lap while watching movies on laptop.
Planning on getting this as my first bandai kit.
I really enjoyed this. So satisfying. I like the music too.
Honestly Robo is number one! You’re the best TH-cam has to offer. Thanks for the content 👍🏼
Gotta be hones this was kind of fun to see, I gotta be honest tho, as a fellow model builder I kept saying "nooo take those nubs off" 😅😅😅
Haha, I know what you mean, but I look at it as going in with my other toys, and they have those blemishes too. Plus I'm lazy on that end of things...
@@TheFwoosh it's all good, thanks for the awesome content as always Robo!!!
Robo, you're allowed to have moods. Take'em when you need'em. All that said, I enjoy this format. It's kind of chill.

I think that music while building works
Far better than Hasbro stuff.
Outstanding

I was the person who asked if u were gonna make a vid on the boba fett in one of ur fwoosh lives
yayy model kit! great music too!!
This was actually really relaxing to watch. Also made realize I should actually build the kits I picked up awhile ago.
How cool is the new uniform of the Book of Boba Fett figure!
😎👍
I do love me some bandai model kits. It's been a little while since I've built one, hopefully Santa leaves this under the tree for me! (And by Santa,I mean my wife.)

You can also use the mode kit to make a tython rearmored boba fett. Going to do that and make a little diorama with the mode kit Mandalorian
I like this style of video.
That reminds me, I have the Empire Strikes Back version of this to still build... 🤔
what a fun kit! I used the alternate shoulders and gave it a repaint to turn mine into his acid wash look from the tragedy episode. was a super fun project and I like it way better than Hasbro's attempt lol.
In my kit use headphone cables with a clip to made unbreakable tubes for the arms

just imagine, doing this assembly work in a toy factory day-in and day-out, geez.
You should just start doing these live and have a couple of drinks and goodies and answer fan questions?!. Just saying. Thanks for the vid!.,
Models are so much easier now. Back in the days, you have to glue and paint the kits.
Yeah, that's why I was never too into them, too much work and supplies and skill involved.
Too be fair they do HIGHLY recommend you paint these kits, whilst they are close to average toys fresh out of the box with some paint they turn into the best collectables on the market, I think so far I've spent about 30 hours fully painting my boba model kit and paint wise is close to being on par with Sideshow (except the head I can't paint faces for the life of me)
Hey robo quick model kit tip! If you cut away from the part leaving a bit of the sprue you can make far cleaner parts!
Ok I really enjoyed that. A bit of insight into the equipment you use please. Even just as subtitles if you don't want to talk whilst making the model. Thanks for the content.
Could totally just use that head on the clone trooper body if you wanted an unmasked clone.

So if you wanted to, it's an option. I have seen a couple people make the clones more human, with face sculpts.
strange that they didn’t do the photo scan for the face like they did for stormtrooper luke and han
I forgot all about the Han and Luke, they did do the face print there huh? Maybe because those kits were 95% reuse?
Love these videos. Even though I missed your voice, those tracks were mental. What were the called?
Black mechanics wire usually at dollar tree
if you can find thin black twist ties, I would try that for this cables. amazon might have or sometimes in package with electronics.
I love your videos keep up the great work
Edit. Sick toy

theres something amazing about a good pair of nippers cutting parts off of sprues.
i spray all of my figs and models with matt spray now. knocks the plastic/wet look right off of everything. thanks for that tip!
I already hate it when action figures have soft goods…but for this figure, I especially hated the soft goods.
🤘
we need to get Fwoosh some Godhand nippers.
It's been too long since I've done a model kit. Probably won't do Fett, but you got me itching to do something.

Are you going to make the grogu model kit?
Idk why I'm watching this, I mean I'll always watch Robo, but stopped watching SWs content because to me it's dead with a few good projects anyway interesting video Robo 🔥🔥
No face printing on the headsculpt is pretty lame considering the Luke and Han kits both had it
Yeah, I forgot about that, but those were also waaay more reuse, maybe that's why they sprung for the facial features?
Great video as always, Your Videos convinced me to get into model kits. I was wondering if there's any news on the Skeleton figures? how is production or anything? thanks and have a good one.
I like this style video. Hail Lord Fett! How long did it take to edit out all the "F-Bombs" and other cuss words? :P #LongliveRetro
Haha, only one F bomb, when I dropped one of the jetpack tube covers and it went bouncing off the table into the pile of Mezco and old model boxes.
Can't never go...
Robo, when you don't want to talk, something must have really gotten to you. I hope you're feeling better.
Is easy?

I don't know if it's that much reuse. Upper arms, maybe torso armor? Knee pads? Helmet?
tremors?
Can he sit on a throne?
I never liked asmr until now.
i don't like it
the baggy pants look weird and i feel the color is bad too
This model kit was disappointing for me. I agree with th pancake collar. Looks terrible. Unfortunately black series is better than this one.
early!
