Boba Fett ROTJ SE Helmet Replica

[FamousFett]

Hello everyone! I am new to the RPF but certainly not new to creating things I mainly operate out of The Dented Helmet and Instagram. I wanted to share my replica Boba Fett helmet that I finished painting about a week ago. This helmet was painted on a lineage Boba Fett helmet which means it came from a mold of the original helmet. I believe the helmet I painted on is a 3rd generation of that original mold. Anyway this helmet is the ESB helmet but as it was seen in the Return of the Jedi Special edition which feature some more scenes with Boba at the beginning. This is definitely my favorite version of this helmet because of all of the extra damage on it since it was scene in the ESB. Thank you for checking out my post and I look forward to hearing from you all!

The silver/white scuffs on the helmet near the dent, is it paint or white pencil? I have two black series fett helmets and may add some extra weathering and damage to it.

That is paint that I applied very lightly, I would dab the brush on paper towel first and then dab it on for the marks to make them look faded

The exposed metal is really convincing and gives it lots of weight. Great job

Awesome work!

Fantastic work!
I have a Bobamaker helmet that I need to ‘upgrade’ with some of the subtle shading and other details- quick question, what is your technique for doing the black and white ‘spots’ at the front of the kill stripes- they look too well defined for airbrushing, are they just brush detailing? Thanks.

Absolutely stunning work. I’m blown away. That looks like the movie prop!
Do you take commissions for painting? I would love to get you to paint my Boba Fett helmet just like yours please?

Happy Holidays!
