Next helmet Project - Boushh

[hdtheater]

You make that look easy! How many more helmets you got left? You are on a roll.

I don't mean to hijack, but I am 43 years old & have had one question about ROTJ since I got the Scholastic storybook before the movie actually came out. This seems as good a place as any & I know I'm not the only one who wonders.


Is Boushh pronounced- Boosh?
Or is it with an 'OW' sound, like 'bounty'?:confused

I ask here, because if you have the helmet, you have to tell folks who's helmet it is.

Thanks to all, & incredible job on the helmet.:thumbsup

I've always heard it pronounced with the 'ow' sound.

Trent,
Awesome work! Thanks for the progress pics, especially the weathering technique. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Great work. How much time in total did you spend on the build?

...

BTW : I like how you can display your helmets.

It looks like the galaxy´s most awesome bounty hunter´s wall of trophies

Oh, and still love that train track system above the helmets

 

[Sym-Cha]

Wow what an awesome result ... and I love that display of 'trophy' helmets on your wall ... rather erie too as if you were the 'Predator vs STAR WARS'

It really wasn't too bad. I spent one afternoon sanding the mold seam and cutting out the visor and scanner areas, one afternoon to assemble the ear greeblies and scope and to prime it, took a 3 week break to work on other stuff, then I basically painted it and started the weathering in one afternoon, evening, did the leather snout the next day, then the neck piece the next, then spent probably another 2 hours finishing up the weathering.
So all in all, I'd guess about 16-20 hours.

Thanks, I posted a thread a little while back with step by step instructions on how I make the stands out of plumbing parts.

Thanks I missed out on that thread

I did a bit more weathering and redid the back section.
And I still need to do the black pin stripe around the top and above the scanner.

 

[Reel Fakes]

Nice work! I really like the dark areas you added to the leather - very authentic. :thumbsup

 

[Frozenintime29]

Really nice paint job

 

[DaddyfromNaboo]

Don´t we all love Photobucket ... :rolleyes TT, any chance you could upload the images to your RPF photo album?

 

[Trooper_trent]

Sure I can put a few up there.

Edit:
Here you go.
