thanks Freddy :) i will be on later when I'm off work and i will probably have some more bondoing done and if i have any questions i will let you know first
 
glad you guys like it I'm much happier now that the awful shape is fixed.


happy to help Darasuum_Verd.... i carefully scribed down the line with a razor blade then put the stalk down and carefully pried with a small chisel till the glue gave.

i just stopped by boba maker a second ago so i could drool over the gear... im going to be buying his visor and range finder to put on this helmet... maybe the circuit board too I'm not sure yet.

Alright, thanks a lot ^.^

Can't wait to see you helmet finished! :D

ok I'm off work so i will be starting bondo-ing now and while I'm doing that i would like to know a little about Fett's colors ....

by that i mean i know the main green is us medium green by fs or something but the upper part of the cheeks and the back around the key slot area all seem darker?

the reason i ask is Jodo Kast's colors are nearly the same as Fett's but he has maroon kill marks not yellow and a orange mask instead of red... well off i go i will be back real soon (promise) :)
 
this is going to look like I'm making less progress but trust me these areas needed fill and as obsessive as it is, would you leave it if you knew it was wrong?

most of this was deep scratches that came from the original mold

these raised mask parts were not as raised as the rest of the mask so I'm adding 1/16-3/64's of material there

more scratches and mask area that needs raising

this last pic was of areas that had tiny bubbles or missing edges.

after this is all sanded i will have just a little dremeling to do then i can start painting :)
