Progress & finished PICS of my MLC Boba helmet! Opinions?

Well, I got my sweet prized possesion in the mail last Wed., I stayed up late all thru the week painting & here it is-
Thanks to MLC for the awesome helmet! Bountys Hunted- for helping me aquire said helmet & for all of the answers to my questions & Lynn TXP for listing the colors spray paints he used on his bucket a while back, and also his brilliant visor installment method! ....Well, without further adieu(is that spelled right?)----
DP 96 comparison shot-

Annndddd now the finished pics---






Here is a full body shot of my suit w/ bucket


hey thanks for looking! I appreciate the opinions & comments, and I had a blast paintin this rad bucket:grin

That's sweet! I've been looking for pics of completed MLC helmets in fear that they are too big. Your helmet looks perfect.

WOW - man you guys are doing really awesome work with your paint jobs.

Nice!

Nice work!!!!
The only thing I would suggest is to Windex your visor to get all those fingerprints off! LOL

great looking helmet. cant wait to get the two i ordered and paint them.

thanks for the compliments everyone, yeah I thought the helmet looked a little big too, but when its painted and on with the suit, it looks and feels oh so right(I could just have a big melon though)

I know the helmet is nice and wide in true ESB fashion. How is it front to back? I wear glasses and I'm just barely ok with the DP95 but I don;t want to feel like I'm driving from the back seat either.

yeah my face sits about 1-2 inches away from the actual visor, so its kinda different to get used to, but a good different! my face was practically smashed in the DP 96 I had, and now it doesn't fog up on me either
-and yeah it does look alot like an ESB shape to me(got me thinkin)

Wow! You got that painted fast!!!!

Mighty fine job, mighty fine!



Glad you like your new bucket!!

thanks again Rex for helpin me with that! I love this helmet, I don't want to take it off!

Looking good!!
I'm glad the colors and visor tips worked for you!

Lynn

That came out great! You did an excellent job on painting it..congrats!

Would it be okay, if I send this link to Jezz Hill of Starwarshelmets.com?
He might like to feature your painting skills

Mardon

yeah no problem Mardon, I can get you a bigger image of them if you like. thanks for the comments

I'm not ROTJ, but I think it looks great!

Nice job.

what were the colors you used?

Great job on the painting! The detail is great! I have a Don Post and it will most likely be years before I upgrade, but I think you did a very good job. Thanks for posting the pics.

thanks y'all, fett-texas ranger- if you search ROTJ helmet color scheme(or something to that effect), I think it lists Lynn TXP's paints that he used for his, they are great colors, and I found em' all at Fred Meyer and Home Depot(spray paints). Good luck!

Late as usual but hey....


Sweet job on a sweet helmet.

I am eye balling the MLC's myself.

I voted fro the ROTJ paint job on the latest pole.

score = 'Sweet';
} else if (we're all ESB fans >= 80) {
score = 'Super-Cool';
} else if (we're all ESB fans >= 70) {
score = 'Wicked-Bad';
} else if (we're all ESB fans >= 80) {
score = 'Boss';
} else {
score = 'It's all good!!!';
}
System.out.println("Score = " + score);
}
}

Either way, great job on the bucket.

I can't believe I recognized her. (I such a nerd...)

Hey Jango_Fett_Jr.
You be throwing those "while loops" in
there and getting me all confused.

You folks be good and I will see you elsewhere on the board.
