So a friend of mine wanted a fett bucket so he bought on off the bay..BAD IDEA!. He brought it to me to see if I can fix it. I guess my question is does anyone have some ideas or should I thrash it buy one and cast it for him. Any help?
Is it me or does the helmet look wavy?
That is an MSH recast that's been floating around. I have to say, that one is the worst I've seen yet.
Unfortunately, because it's a resin slush cast, there won't be anything you can do to straighten the
sink holes with a heat gun. It will creep back as soon as you expose it to a hot day in a car, even
if you can get it straight without cracking it. Your best best is to bondo fill the low spots
and glaze. You can likely still make a paintable helmet with a fair amount of umph, but it will never
be quite right. Also, be careful buying one and "casting" it. That's mirky water there.
:cheers

vent and fab one. We will see I'll post my progress thanks for the help.

And some pics of what it could look like
Thanks so much. Yours came out really well. The only problem I am
going to have is the ear pieces are in bad shape, they are way to thin and he didn't get the range finder.
Anyone know where I can get one?
