Nice helmet!!! Great job....

Please dopn't take this personal, but who the heck is BOBBA FETT!!??!!!

I hate it when people call Boba. Bobba. :puke

OK...Point taken....I told you I never made one before....and never really paid attention to the spelling. My bad.Sorry

Tony

great paint job, but your RF its Jango RF, you need change the color to black or very very very dark red :)

Nice weathering job, Tony. Is that one of your helmets?

RF????Range Finder...If this is what you are referring to....It is black and under sprays of grey for high lites...Jango's is a dark blue matching the cheeks...

Boba Fettish...
Yes, This is one from our molds.

Antrock

Thanks for the enlightenment!

As I said please don't take it personal, I don't know how many people is in the stores saying hey look it is Bobbas dad, or where is Bobba, while looking in the toy section or being called "hey, look it's Bobba" while in costume. It just makes you want to scream, even more so when you see it in a Fett forum.

I love the helmet though, is it a fiberglass DP DLX recast? It dosn't appear to be a DP reg.

No offense taken...

To answer some questions for all of you...
1.The helmet was reconstructed from a DP 95 face.
2. The sides wear flared out and built up to get rid of the warping from the DP.
3. The dome was sanded down to even it out.The DP 95 had a buldge in it that transferred thru to the rest of the proportions on the helmet.
4.The back panels where cut off and made from scratch to be straight down the back. The DP 95 curved inwards on the bottom of the panel.

As for the paint job...

1st Base coat of silver...
2nd The scratches where masked off using rubber cement and painted on thick where all silver scratches show thru...
3rd The gray primer coat was added.
4th More rubber cement over the scratch area's to give the effect of primer layer showing thru around the silver, when painting the cement on, you just make it wider around the siver area's of cement.
5th The green base layer.
6th Mask off the viser and rim for the red.
7th Mist spray Black over the red to give it a darker Boba red color.
8th Mask off the Dark Green cheeks.
9th Let dry for 2 days,then peel off all masking and scratch the rubber cement off to reveal the scratched area's.
10th I used a special pen for the details....Kids silver glitter pen!! Rough up scratches and add streaks and dots and cracks.
11th Mask off kill marks on side of dome.14 of em...masking them neat.Then add rips of masking tape on corners and sides of marks randomly to give it that chipped and faded look.
Mist spray yellow lightly until it is a good color,then mist orange over it to darken the yellow color.
12th Mist spray black for blast and soot area's for wethering.
13th Mist spray grey primer to dull the colors even more.
14th A final Matte finish spray to really dull all the colors and make it look faded.

That is about the extent of the paint job.
Soon, I will post a list of the colors used...Gotta run to the garage and pull out the cans to get all the colors right for ya.Can't remember all those names just yet...

Hope this answers a lot of your questions...

Hey Tony, you're not going to believe this, but I helped paint one exactly like that in my garage, last weekend. What's that I see in the bacground of those pics? It looks like......my garage. I thought those pics looked familiar. :)

And a Mighty fine looking garage ,too!!

Many a cool costume has been created in that laboratory there.:):):)

We can put another blast mark on the side of the wall for the creation of yet another fine helmet...

Thanks for all your help and knowledge on this one Loren, couldn't have done it without ya,bro!!

Antrock

Here here! :cheers It was fun,...well, sorta

Antrock:Looks great! Nice colors.

Loren:Go clean up your garage!!!! :lol

For clean-up, there is no time. Much armor to run, yes?

Tony, Loren that turned out awesome!!! Great job guys!!

For a 1st Boba Fett, you did a heckuva job!

Helmet's off to ya!

Beautiful job!

Hey All,
I have decided to paint up a Boba for myself and would be willing to paint others helmets if anyone is interested. PM me if interested....

Antrock

Still sanding my Jango, but getting there. Nice work on the boba.

That's a great helmet! Excellent job. What is the name of the main Green color? It looks very close to the ESB Green. I never thought of using rubber cement to mask off weathering, I might try that soon since I've got a couple of helmets to paint for some guys.

-Austin

I got the privilege to see this thing in the works last year. It turned out great! And I had a blast that day!

Lotsa work involved.

Flan

That's a nice looking Helmet you've got there, great paint job!

Gotta say they don't come any cuter than that smiling lil kid, man. The :thumbsup pic is freaking priceless! :)

Very nice. :thumbsup

Very nice! :thumbsup

What sort of flat clearcoat do you use for a final sealer?
