Boba Fett helmet build, ongoing project.

Re: Boba fett helmet pep build (my first build) WIP still...

This is a beautiful helmet build. I enjoyed scrolling through all the pictures, and it does look good with that primer - I understand being impatient to get to that part.

Your finish work is looking great! My helmet is also paper with Fiber glass, Bondo, and some wood filler with resin coating. It was easier to work with for the minor holes. Here's my progress with the whole suit about a month into it. I'm looking for a pattern for the Rocketeer bucket next.

Looking forward to seeing your paint job.

i am working on this still but it's taking an extensive amount of time to get those sharp details.
working on the mandible, to sharpen the edges but i just seem to keep adding filler, sanding , adding filler... you get the idea.

pictures despite lack of noticeable progress.

my camera makes the helmet look much more narrow than it is, its not as slim as it appears.

man that is such a nice ass build. To me you look like you are done. If anything you should fly over here and work on my bucket haha

Honestly I thought your black and white pics from your previous post looked perfect.

are you planning on molding it?

i wish i was done, i love working on it but i would like an end to it.
you should know by now that pictures on the internet can be deceiving.

as for moulding personally i dont think its worthy of moulding so i dont know yet, but i'd love to have a few boba fett helmets sitting around to do with as i please.

I hate to say that I just breezed through a year and a couple months of work in a few minutes, but I too would like an update.... This build is amazing!!
 
Re: Boba fett helmet pep build (my first build) WIP still...

I'd love to see some updates too! :thumbsup
 
Re: Boba fett helmet pep build (my first build) WIP still...

First off, i dont like posting with nothing to show, but just to let you know (you few select people) I am still working on it, I'm actually working on it right now, hopefully I will have proper update for you in couple of weeks.

Thank you crank, roblenzz, magneto, and sdmicp for your interest in an almost dead thread.

No problem buddy, it's been fun. Looking forward to updates!:)
 
Re: Boba fett helmet pep build (my first build) WIP still...

Any updates? I am looking forward to seeing what kind of paint job you put on this most excellent helmet.
 
Re: Boba fett helmet pep build (my first build) WIP still...

So this probably isnt the update you were expected but I'll have some thing more worth while within the next week or so. For now here is my snowman from this year.
Enjoy
