Hi everyone!
Last week my nephew asked me to build him a Boba bucket for Halloween. Since Halloween is only two months away, I won't have time to build him a bucket that will pass his scrutiny. For an 8 year old he's an expert at the small details of a Boba helmet since Boba Fett is his ultimate favorite SW character. So to make my life easier and give myself enough time to give him what he wants, I decided to buy Jango Fett 2-piece injection mold helmet ($25) and convert it to a Boba ESB. Of course I had to OK this with my nephew since the Jango is different from the Boba (ex. right side ear piece and no dent). I assured him it'll look just like Boba's ESB helmet and he agreed.
I've decided to share this conversion progress with you all since I haven't seen any post on this type of helmet (none that I know off). I've attached some pictures of the Jango bucket. You will notice that they made the RF stalk backwards. If I have time I will make a new one since I cannot use this one in reverse. The first thing I need to do is to sand everything down. Until then....
