I know, this one has been done many times, but Droidboy and I put our heads together and decided to do something a little different. We have wanted to build a really good X-Wing helmet forever, but we wanted it to be durable. We went to work on a design that would give us the classic look, be 10x or more durable than vacuformed styrene. I will be posting Droidboy's build and some of my own (I am not as far along as I am working on templates for my own helmet decor).
First, some reference.
The first one is totally straight forward.
And then we get to Rogue One...
Ok, you can't see it in the first image and but the mohawk cap, the front is different. There are other variations as well (also well documented it, I am just laying this out from a project perspective), but this difference inspired us to create a helmet that would work for RO and OT. Seriously we just wanted a sturdy helmet that when we dropped it on the ground wouldn't destroy our hopes and dreams and we wanted it to look and feel just right.
