Completed reelprops Rebels Vader Helmet

[clancampbell]

Freshly finished Darth Vader helmet from Rebels....looks like i forgot to wipe off all the polish...DOH! I ground out the nose, which was flat and had lines incised in it, and i resculpted it to be more concave like in the show.

This is so cool. I typically don't get into Vader helmets not seen in the movies,but I loved Rebels and this helmet jails that look. I love it!

That’s beautiful !! I keep thinking I’ll get one of these myself, such a great job they did on this helmet.

That is awesome!

Can you give a quick breakdown of how you did it?

I'm trying to figure out how to get an even amount of paint inside and outside of the helmet when all i have to work with is my garage

Looks great!

When I saw the listing for the kit, I didn't understand why the nose was not carved out like you have it.

Hi, i know how you feel....i mostly sprayed this in the back yard...

I just used rattle cans....went for nice wet coats as best as i could judge.
Then the same with clear coats, when this was cured, i used Meguires Ultimate compound and microfiber cloths to polish it.

Yeah, i ordered 2 and got 2. I understand Rocketeer has to cast these to order....which, of course, takes time.
