And it’s no surprise that the fantastic 控訴 took first place at this year’s Burlington Toycon 条約 in Ontario.

Both 抱擁する fans of the 星/主役にする Wars series and the Lego brand, Mr Sheppard has 以前 made two other Lego 小型の 人物/姿/数字 designs for his son, learning and perfecting his (手先の)技術 with each 試みる/企てる.

建設するd using using Sintra, a lightweight but rigid PVC 構成要素, Mr Sheppard was able to 建設する the torso, 手渡すs, jetpack, antenna, 脚s and most of the helmet.

While inside the helmet, Mr Sheppard used pink insulation 泡,激怒すること board to carve the ドーム 形態/調整 and a の近くにd 独房 泡,激怒すること called Plastazote to carve the ロケット/急騰する tips and exhausts 設立する on the jetpack.

But it's the attention to 詳細(に述べる) that really makes the 控訴 something special. Not only was the 衣装 spray painted and (疑いを)晴らす coated but Mr Sheppard even printed vinyl adhesives to copy the graphics on the tiny toy.

If that isn't enough, both the antenna and jetpack are in fact removable, just like the Lego 見解/翻訳/版 of the 教団 character, giving his son, Caillen, a welcome break from the 十分な 負わせる of the 控訴 and turning him into a real living, breathing Lego Boba Fett.

However, Mr Sheppard has an even more ambitious idea in the pipeline and hopes to create a 星/主役にする Wars Lego 小型の 人物/姿/数字 衣装 of a character that has not even yet been built by Lego.

Mr Sheppard said: ‘I've been a fan of 星/主役にする Wars for 35 years and never made a 星/主役にする Wars 衣装 until now, If I hadn't a child, perhaps I would still be 説 the same thing.

‘I've turned my attention from sculpting my own work to making 衣装s for him. We love the 星/主役にする Wars Lego culture and Boba Fett is a 広大な/多数の/重要な character to recreate.

‘Every 皇室の 人物/姿/数字 would be awesome to build, but Boba Fett is so lush with colour, and has 詳細(に述べる)s that are both challenging and visually 控訴,上告ing.

‘Making a 星/主役にする Wars 衣装 for a child is 冷静な/正味の - children are the perfect dimensions to bring the 小型の 人物/姿/数字 to life.

‘Caillen has an 広範囲にわたる Lego collection that 含むs の中で others, 星/主役にする Wars. His love for the movies, characters and 小型の 人物/姿/数字s sort of rebooted my passion for both the 星/主役にする Wars fan culture and the Lego brand.

‘I think the 小型の 人物/姿/数字 is 反映するd in a child. They 株 an innocence and playfulness and I believe that's why people 反応する so 前向きに/確かに to these types of 衣装s.

‘Considering this 衣装 was both 星/主役にする Wars and Lego, I was 確信して that it would be 井戸/弁護士席 received by fans of both communities. However, I never 心配するd the 衣装 going viral.

‘My partner is very supportive of my 事業/計画(する)s and loves the results. However, she's not a fan of both the mental and 環境の 大混乱 they create. 最終的に, she knows why I do it, for my son, and that makes her happy.’
