I´ve been a member of this forum for some time now but never really posted until now. Well last christmas I got this vader helmet on Ebay, I took my chances and bid on and won. It was a ANH helmet wich I wanted to change into ESB. Of course I got a lot of people telling me to keep it ANH but I wanted to make an ESB.
Well I received the helmet and his is how it looked like when I got it. The tusks were broken and also the dome had taken a beating during shipping. You can see the orange stuff, wich is fiberglass, those parts were broken off and I looked through the plastic stuffing in the bag to find them and put back in place. I also had to add detail to the chin and nose ridge and do some work on the upper and lower vents.
So about 6 months work it looks like this. It is painted with automotive paints and clearcoats.
Hope it passes the ESB test.
