The MAKING of a Boba Maker ESB FETT HELMET!

[tonkatroopa]

Beautiful work Steve. Just Awesome.

 

[Got Maul]

you're still doing these ? wow, still the best fett helmet painter I have ever seen.

 

[STEVE THE SWEDE]

Thanks all for the kind words. They sure are a pain to make, got about 100 hours in it now but I should be able to have pics of the finished helmet in a week or two.

Thanks again,

Steve.

Hey Steve I had two Questions....

???I see you're sticking with Lees colors as a base...But is the Red on the Mandibles the Called for Box Car REd ?? Or a mix as well???

???And second what kind of Silver are you using?? Brand and Type??? Luster on the Silver Looks Great......

oh and this is the best Fett Paint Job I have EVER seen... :thumbsup...even beats the one on your website..

 

[Rhett J Martin]

g-damn.. Well done.

 

[STEVE THE SWEDE]

Thanks so much spidey, you're doing damn good Boba jobs yourself.

The red on the mandibles is acrylic box car red mixed with quite a lot of Rock Island Maroon. As you allready know that acrylic box car looks a bit funky out of the bottle.

The silver paint is enamel, Humbrol metal coat polished aluminum. It's the same paint I used on Jez helmet.

Cheers,

Steve.

Steve,

That is quite simply - OUTSTANDING.
Prop forgery at its best. :lol

Can't wait to see the studio shots of it. Boba-Maker is one lucky guy to own that.

What do I have to do to get a helmet that looks like that...

 

[Clutch]

Can't let this die.

 

[Goldenrod]

I agree Clutch, this is way to nice to just vanish into the thread graveyard..

I can't stop staring at all the detail put into it. VERY nicely done.
