Boba Recall -
Reimagined Boba Fett Helmet titled "Boba Recall" by Tom Spina Designs | eBay

The As You Wish store, with the other amazing helmets from this project: Donate, Wish items in Make-A-Wish Foundation Store store on eBay!


Hey all,

We've been waiting a while to get the official OK to share this...

I'd always hoped we'd have the chance to participate in one of these projects where a group of artists all start with the same raw material and then each put their spin on it.

For us, we wanted to do something that would be a tribute to classic, old-school, practical movie FX magic. The concept came out of a long lunch of bouncing around ideas with Mike and Pat from the studio. Rob Bottin's brilliant work on Total Recall burned an image into the mind of everyone who saw the film and we thought it would be fun to try to bring that to life for the project.
I sort of broke down how the piece would lay out and what the "sections" would be. Pat did a great job chopping up the helmet, then re-assembling it in its new, stepped configuration. I did the paint work on the helmet, a challenge unto itself, and we sourced a great life cast of Arnold which I painted and haired.

We've been showing step-by step shots of the build on our Facebook Page and if you like that sort of thing, please click the "like" button and you'll get sneak peek pics of a lot of our projects.

And we've got a video on Youtube as well: Boba Recall - Star Wars - As You Wish Charity Project - YouTube

Now here's the really important thing - they're going to be auctioning all the helmets off for charity starting next week! So bookmark the auction page and check back soon, as there are some amazing one of a kind pieces of Star Wars inspired art in there and it's all going to a great cause, the Make A Wish Foundation: About the As You Wish Project items in Make-A-Wish Store store on eBay!

Thanks for looking!
Tom

Re: BOBA RECALL - our helmet for the As You Wish Project

So, it took about "two weeks" to make?

Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

That is simultaneously the weirdest and coolest mash-ups I've ever seen.
