Finally completed my boba fett bucket. It is a resin cast from my friend Animefan on the Dented Helmet. I have included a before and after picture. May the force be with you.

Loving the lid and photos,
did you go layered or topical.... or mix it up?

Its layered...over 61 hours of hands on time. Not including drying time.

Great paint up. Did you use stencils, or just freehand it?

Most of it is free hand. The intricate scratches and marks are traced with tracedown paper.

Nice one, looks great! The colours are really vivid and it looks well beat up. Did you try and copy the damage/weathering exactly like the original screen helmet or did you do your own thing based on it? Either way you did a good job, nice helmet. I would love to do one of these.

The dents and scratches are as close to screen accurate as possible. I took really high res close up shots of all sides and put in as many little details that I could

Awesome paint job. I have one of Animefan's Mandalorean kits. They are great castings. Haven't had the time to work on it yet. Hopefully after the next few months I will start.

I just got an animefan bucket as well. Do you mind sharing the stencils? The ones from TDH don't fit right.

It looks great, excellent job done! What all was involved in prepping the helmet for paint?
