Custom Mandalorian helmet - WIP - Update 1/31

I know there is not much love here for non-cannon Star Wars stuff, but that is alright:rolleyes
I am working on a custom Mando helmet to display with my Fett and Jango (also still in the works.) I was putting off posting any pics because I can be a very slow person - I tend to bounce around project to project a lot, but I do plan on finishing this one so I suppose it will be alright.

I started with a Sgt. Fang bucket, I trimmed the visor but left some resin to help me sculpt some changes in the visor opening. I also wanted to add a Ep. 2 clone helmet fin to this, of course it was sculpted to fit a clone helmet so some sanding will be in order at some point.

I then added some bondo to fill in the dent, and the other "Boba" features, as well as using it to build up the new visor area. I have only done the rough sanding on these and still need to go back, clean then up a bit and patch it up some more with spot putty - expecially on the new visor peices.

I could not help sanding a little on the fin so I could at least set it on the helmet to see what it will look like overall when finished. Not a perfect fit yet, but you get the idea.


Still a lot to do. Next I am going to switch the viewfinder to the other side and start to actually fit the fin, and attach it.
Hopefully I will get some done after X-mas and can post some more WIP pics. :rolleyes:

With the fin on there, it reminds me a little of the old school Cylons. Cool custom Mando so far. Have you checked out the Mandolorian Mercs costume group? They do primarily customs.

Thanks all:)
I am a member of the Mercs as well, a great group of custom mando makers:thumbsup

Moving the range finder to the other side is going to be a pain - I am not sure the best way to do it, but i will start by cutting off the base from its current location. then figure it out from there.:rolleyes

WOW Scott! EXCELLENT design and great work. Probably one of the best I.ve ever seen. I'm glad you filled in the dent. I can;t STAND when people do custom mandos and leave the BOBA dent.

*****IN!

I finally managed to get some work done. The fin is attached, but I still need to make it look seamless with the top of the original helmet. Still a lot of prep sanding and more putty needed, but at least it is starting to look better. :)

Coming along nicely! Kinda has a "Leonidas" look to it with the tweaked visor space and the fin :thumbsup
 
Re: Custom Mandalorian helmet - WIP - Update 1/20

Not a big update.
Just added some Bondo to the base of the fin (and a little on the front pieces), and sanding away - working to make the fin look like part of the helmet.
Being laid-off work does allow for extra sanding time:rolleyes

Sorry to hear you were laid off from work. I really like this custom design!
