Re: my new project... ???
hahaha, yes I want to make a Boba Fett helmet now... maybe just because I want to paint it. I think the damaged surface is very interesting.
anyway, I m planning to build the helmet similar to the one GoldPointProps did:
http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=229905. But because I dont have such awesome skills with metal sheets I will probably go an easier way starting with the use of a simple bowl instead of building the whole dome by myself. so this helmet will not be a 100% movie accurate one, but hopefully a nice and cheap piece to display. I also hope my welding skills are enough for this thin material.
Well I have absolutely no clue whatsoever it is you're going to build here ...

however the grin on your face when shooting that bowl is . . . priceless :lol

hahaha, ... the reflection worked well. was not sure if anyone will notice at all. by the way: when I got this bowl and saw the reflection, the long history of mirrors in art came to me in mind. maybe you know the famous drawing by M.C. Escher...
another famous example is this painting by Van Eyck:
for painters, mirrors were a way to show them self in the picture and in a way, to express their vanity
anyway, these round mirrors are always kind of interesting. unfortunately I ll have to make everything a little bit less shiny before paining.
