i m very happy to have this helmet because it's a great quality helmet

congratz, it lookz beautiful.

CAn't wait to see it painted!

Nice looking Helmet! I just got my BM order too. Jumpsuit, vest, and shin tools.

I've got lots to work on now.

Excellent, now get to work!

Just to be sure you know, the Ridell mini-helmet you have in the pic is not accurate in color or damage. I just want to make sure you don't use it as a refrence to paint your new helmet. Good luck, and have fun.

Wow did everyone just get their orders? I got a full set of armor plus jet-pack a couple of days ago. The helmet looks fantastic by the way.

no , i just used the riddel helmet for the reference of interior !
i start the paint job next week.

Looks yummy. Have fun finishing it off.

thanks, i search the reference paint for my helmet (i have the brak's buddy's reference cd) i search the map of the paint

the first stage :

I ordered a BobaMaker helmet myself. I decided from all the info I received in the helmet vs helmet thread to get the BobaMaker one. Some had heard of a member that was going to start making a new helmet, but I couldn't wait. I neither have the stones to paint it myself, so BobaMaker is taking care of that for me too. Have to be able to troop with my kids at Halloween this coming Oct.

i continue my paint job:


in this view the color was more brown than reality , in reality it was more red.
The color is tamiya color spray lacquer "red brown" (number 1)

before i paint this color i used humbrol "maskol" for protect the metal bright

i remove the liquid mask and after i paint one of another color of this part of the helmet.

Great start Dark... I see your using the detail templates? they easy to use?
Keep up the great work

Thats looking good nice damage effect. Looks like you are using the same colour red as myself.
Bobamaker does make a quality helmet

looking sweet so far, look forward to seeing it painted.

Amon, why did you use the Tamiya red instead of Floquil Caboose?

because it's the only color i founded for it !

i put the light grey :

Looks great so far!! Nice work.

i paint the 2 other color of this first part after i paint the black parts :

Great start Dark... I see your using the detail templates? they easy to use?
Keep up the great work

mojo, the detail template it's a good base for paint job but it's difficult to copy exactly it with brush and the liquid mask ! but if you dont have the true helmet next it, you dont see it's not very same....
well if you see the film and you push break on your DVD reader you can see boba fett with différent helmet (little difference) in the same film and on the same action.

i continue my paint job :

Beautifull so far

Looking great keep up the good work, what templates are you using for your paint job?

truly insperational

I second that! Looks stunning.

Man, that looks great!

TIIIGHT!... nice work bro,

Oh My God that is Some Awesome Paint job there!

I've been here on TDH for some time now and I must say, the skill level keeps getting better and better. Boba Fett costuming has come a long way due to this website and artists like Dark Amon.

Man, that's an amazing paint job!

where you get a helmet like that?

Read the first post and title of this topic, it's a BobaMaker bucket. If you want more info google BobaMaker or look him up on here, he's a member of this forum.
