First ever Boba Fett Helmet build (Fierfek pepakura)

[RaxusPrime]

Hi guys

So I'm new to the site, but registered after reading and discovering all of the amazing creations using pepakura. I have always wanted a Boba Fett helmet and recently decided I fancied a new hobby, so after finding this and thedentedhelmet site(s) I put them both together.

I have begun my first ever build...I've never even built with lego so a complete newbie over here!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, will post pics so please comment on my progress. The only thing I'm unsure of at the moment is whether or not the ridge is good enough, looks a little messy. I have no experience with bondo, fibreglass etc. so I'm a little concerned that anything that goes wrong in the pep stage, I won't have the skills to amend later....

Anyway, here are the first stages of my build, please comment to help a fellow Fett out!!!



Also, a MASSIVE shout out to Fierfek whose files completely amaze me! Truly awesome work!!

Goodluck with the build! don't let possible mistakes make you give up on this. do not lose the FUN aspect of any build.

Used a Vader fierfek pep file before too.

Thanks pal Will try my best, addicted at the moment haha! I've added the front now, so looking more like Boba at least!!

Little update, begun to add the ears now. Taking a little longer than I had hoped. Do you think it is looking ok at the moment? I'm concerned that the front of the visor is at angle, and doesn't sit perpendicular to the flat part at the back (where the vents go). If you look at the middle pic, it looks diagonal (from left up to right, like a / shape). I understand I haven't attached the right ear yet which could help the issue. Question, if it doesn't what can I do to help this matter? Also a comparison in terms of size next to my Kylo Ren Black Series helmet...
