Boba Fett, Deconstructed

Vanity Fair has posted photographs from The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and my favorite shot is of Boba Fett's costume and gear.
The Boba Fett costume was built by several crew members and painted by Joe Johnston. “I painted Boba Fett’s outfit and tried to make it look like it was made of different pieces of armor,” says Johnston. “It was a symmetrical design, but I painted it in such a way that it looked like he had scavenged parts and done some personalizing of his costume; he had little trophies hanging from his belt, little braids of hair, almost like a collection of scalps.”
And, yes, I have a Boba Fettish, in case you were wondering.
