Some of you may know me from TDH. Others may not.
I dabble in Fett items, but really like to create my own things whenever possible. One of the things I am known for are my rubber items.[...]
It was suggested that I share some of the projects here. I have tried to sign up for over a year, but never seemed to make the timing work!
Currently im working on my boba fett internal foams, as well as internals for a biker scout helmet (MLC Based as thats what was loaned to me for the project).
My previous kits consisted of 7 individual pieces, that went into the helmet.
The looked like so:

They are a very soft (think nerf) with a supple rubber over them. They came in the colors shown, those are unpainted. many people did very nice interiors with them, but they ultimately, left me with an incomplete feeling. So recently I decided to take a fairly popular fett helmet, and build a new set of interiors to fit it.
I began with the buildup of the model to fit in the rear of the helmet.

I then made a mold, and pulled a piece in 30 D rubber (white) to test the placement and the look. Lets face it, look is everything. My originals had too techy a look, so I decided to use some found parts, some millenium falcon parts, some basic shapes from the riddell interiors, and some of my own pizazz, this is the way the mockup looked.
It seemed decent, so I pulled a full black rubber piece, to glue in, so that I could move on to the next stage. The cheeks and forehead.
The black dye was no good, so it has a splotchy appearance, but this picture is included for reference, for the overall look once mounted.
Madness ensues, as I try to figure out the cheeks forhead, gasket for the T-visor and finally a top (the top is difficult because it changes the fit drastically.
Im hoping to have these done in a month or so, as well as the biker scout pieces, which will be a whole nother post.
Input and thoughts are always welcome.
