Yeah, It's a sickness! I just hope there isn't a cure! lol.
Thanks for the compliments. considering this is one of YOUR helmets(skygunbro) from ebay, I guess I'd have to
say that you gave me a great canvas to work with.
I can't wait to paint anouther and anouther and anouther.
Each one is a learning experience. And now that I know about the Ref CD, My next one should be alot more accurate.

Ditto, I agree. You shouldn't compare your work. You are doing a fine job with the helmet. You don't have to go 100% accurate.. everyone knows how that would look like then. I think it's best to go close but a person should also put their own little special touch to it according to their own taste. Besides if everyones was 100% accurate then everyones helmet would look exactly the same! That would get pretty boring fast I think. It's great to see other ppl's creativity and personality reflect on their work.
I have the exact same helmet as you from the same person and you are doing a great job on yours! (can't wait to see more pics!) :D(y)

Thanks for the comps retrovertigo and b.fett!
Retro, Your helmet and armor look AWSOME!
I haven't gotten all of my armor yet, just the gauntlets.
It's all paid for, just waiting to receive it.
You guys do bring up a valid point about personalizing your helmet. Mine doesn't have to be Screen accurate.
I just want to be close. The green I used isn't the Panzer olive grun, but I like it. I painted it before I discovered this Wonderful web site. I could re-paint it but I don't need to, I don't think.
Besides, I'm sure Boba would have more than just 2 Helmets. His Daddy did.
I was thinking about a Snowba Fett costume. All white.
I think that would be cool. Maybe after I complete my ROTJ & ESB costumes. Oh, and Jango : ).
Thanks again for the comps!

I got my Gauntlets from MB. They aren't 100% screen accurate but I think they look good. He sells the gauntlets individualy and they are the lowest priced gauntlets I've found. Unless it has changed, the right one is $28.00 including shipping(in the US & the left is $34.00 including shipping(in the US).
I would like to eventually get a set of FP gauntlets, but I can't get a responce from them.
I can post some pictures of my gauntlets (they aren't painted yet) if you would like.
PM me if you would like more info on MB's stuff.
Thanks,
Robert E.

Looks great, man. Keep it up. Nothing wrong with that baby.

You know, if you just keep re-painting the same helmet over and over, it'll get bigger every time, lol.

Not to worry. When that source is able, they will get back to you. They are very responsible. Just even more busy.
 
awesome job on the helmet!

iam also new to this,and hopefully my helmet will come out at least good enough. I got one of those rubies "latex" boba helmets.I hope using fiberglass will strengthen it.

again your stuff looks great!

btw, I want to do just a mandalorian,like out of the comic "open season".blue visor, like Silas.

may i say what a great board this is!
 
Thanks for all the nice complements.
You guys sure know how to make a guy feel accepted.
Thanks again,
Robert E.
