To start, I'm posting this here and not The Dented Helmet becuse I can't seem to post pictures there, not sure if it's becuse I'm considered new there or what but makes updates difficult.
On to the project.
At the end of Last Halloween my kids started to put in their requests for the following year, my 3 year old requested a Captian Phasma, check that build out here http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=257408
But to my excitement my 6 year old requested a Jango Fett, now I am a big fan of the Fett family just like most Star Wars fans but I have always liked the style of Jango. Now this year is going to be a little special, we plan on spending Holloween in Disney World this year, so if we are doing Star Wars costumes at Disney World they need to be right, time to step up my game.
So the punch list for the Jango costume looks something like this
1. Helmet
2. Armor
3. Westar 34 Blasters
4. Gauntlets
5. Jumpsuit
6. Holsters
7. Gloves
8. Jetpack
Now I have been working since the beginning of the year so I will have to catch you up on my progress so far!
Lets start with the Helmet;
I started with a a basic templet from Wizord of Flight, Then after printing full size I made copies at 85% size, typically others use cardboard when building from these templets but O knew I was going to do some things a little diffrent than instructed so I just started with a light weight card stock.
Also someone is already working on his pose!
In the templet the cheek is shown as 1 piece and in reality it needs to be 2 pieces. So I corrected that and then built out the raised areas with chip board. Also since I already had everything at 100% why not put it together.
Then it was on to resin and fiberglass, once that was finished I cut out the visor.
After that comes the time consuming part, lots of priming and bondo and sanding, then lather rinse repeat.
This is where the helmet was as of last night, in the next post we will cover some of the other parts!
