Awesome job Ian.
Amy will undoubtedly be very proud to wear this.
You painted that?
Very, very well done.
I applaud your skills

Wow that is the best leather fit and finish that I have seen on one of these!

Maybe a bit more weathering on the leather (darker colors here and there)... but other than that this is one of,if not THE best out there!

Very cool! Any electronics in it, or plans to be?

Ian,
if you do go with the lights, Al (Blastmaster) had some made for Zadrina's Boushh helmet.

Thank guys!! Im sorry it has taken me so long to reply here!

She loves it!! And it fits her just perfect. Yes, its my paint! Thanks for the compliment, it's quite a bit coming from you.

Maybe a bit more weathering on the leather (darker colors here and there)..

I definitely agree, its hard to photograph though. We trooped LegoLand all day in the sun a couple weeks ago, and it tanned a little. It looks just about perfect now. It might be able to use a bit more grunge.. but its so easy to screw up, Im terrified of touching it up any more!

Any electronics in it, or plans to be?

I rushed to get some electronics in it before CV, I have a great little circuit to alternate the lights, but I settled on LED tape - which isn't the most accurate. I plan on swapping the tape strips out with some thin bulbs.

How much did you end up buying it for??

I think Todd sells the kit for around $350 - It's well worth it!

I attached some pictures from CV!
