New MR Fett helmet pics

Man, those were the days weren't they Lee (& natty).
What a great and rewarding voyage of discovery we went on to nail that sucker.
It's fantastic that all your hard work, research and skill has been recognised in this way.

I freely admit that and Chris King hiring me to paint his was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Rogue - That helmet looks superb, roughly how many man-hours went into the preperation and paintjob?

So how close do people think MR will be able to get to this using automation (as an indication is the ATAT the best "paint job" theyve done)

Cheers

Man hours was around 20 or so over about 4 days. It was tough I have to admit.

Great job Lee. I think you should make a video tutorial of your painting skills. I'm sure everyone would love to buy that DVD.

I'll be first in line.

Fantastic Lee. That got to be your best Fett yet. I love the fact that you stuck with the real ESB look (on screen) and not the archive/ROTJ special edition look.

Thumbs up.

Steve.

Thanks for the info. All I can say is it was 20 hours well spent.

So I suppose the question is, how close to your hand-painted beauty will the production versions be, given theyre going to be painted by computer?

Cheers

The 64 million dollar question. But one thing is in stone and that is they are doing ALL they can to get this right and cost effective.

 

[The Death Curse]

Simply WOW.

That level of detail is astounding. Brings a tear to my eye...

RS, you have done an amazingly accurate job on that helm. If MR can correctly replicate that paintjob, then this thing will be the best available Fett replica ever. BRAVO..

Lee, amazing job man. My only concern is that this bucket will cost more than my mortgage to buy. :eek

 

[JRX]

I hope it will be cheaper than their ROTS Vader ...

 

[HDPE]

I can't believe the purity of the paint job :thumbsup

There is no way the mass produced helmets will look anything like this.

 

[USSCassiopeia]

That is one sweet helmet.

Had to breing this thread back up.....

Glad this is staying with TDH family.....they couldn't have picked a better choice.
Congrats LEE... :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

 

[SpideyFett]

Who exactly do we need to petition to have MR make a RotJ variant as well?

But why would we want a crappy ROTJ paintjob on such a nice helmet
