WOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


I have a superb Fett helmet!!!!!!!!


Wooooooooooo-Hoooooooooo!!!!




Many thanks Lee!!!!!

It looks like a realistic piece of battleworn Mandalorian armor. Nuff Said. No higher compliment can I give it.

Pics, Rex. Where are the pics?

Si

Cool!!! Got any pics of that masterpiece?? Would love to see how it turned out.
Damian

I second the call for pix! Don't tease us like this Rex, you lucky, lucky boy!

Cheers!
TJ

WOW! Rex thanks so much. I don't think I'm some awesome painter there are many people on this board who I feel smoke me I just try to capture the look of it being a film used prop and not a working helmet if that makes sense. I hope everyone remembers I did 8 of these at once which lengthend the receipt time back to you. I have much higher build prices but for the money I think it's a great value.

Glad to see you are happy Rex. I boxed up more last night and I am able to ship in the U.S from work. I have one international customer who has been patiently waiting for me to get to the Post office but it's going as soon as I can bribe my co-workers to cover for me while I drive across town on my lunch hour to ship it.

It is my hope that everyone likes their helmet as much as it sounds like you do. It has been a long wait for you folks.

Best Regards


Lee

You frekin tease. This should be our RS helmet shoff thread.

Heck YEAH I'm happy with it Lee!!!

Can't say anything more that conveys my feelings!



And yes, my bad on the No Pix! I was feeling rather jubilant, and rushed to express myself...before pics!

I will do my utmost to get a pic of it. You saw the lineup of helmets Lee did (still don't know how Lee did 8 at once!!) and to actually hold it, stare at it, is really a darn nice feeling. I don't know how the flash, etc will turn out for the colors, but the battlewear is truly what makes this a tremendous helmet.

It's been a rough year for me, and this is definently a high point. My ESB Fett is getting closer! This Halloween marks a two year anniversary in my personal Quest for Fett! It's been a long road, but it's been a fun one too. I have nearly everything I need to complete Fett, just need to snag one more item. (well, gotta get a scope too, but...okay, one scope and one set of shin tools that I've had my eye on for what, 3 months?!?) Hopefully, I'll be able to order them soon.

Man, this is fun. And don't ask me what my next Star Wars costume will be!! I swore I wouldn't start another SW costume until Fett is finished!! Then, who knows? Will it finally be a Stormtrooper? A Sandtrooper? Those Snowtroopers look awfully cool too. (no pun intended...) and then there's Clonetroopers. Do you do the all-white version? The yellow Commander? Red? The Blue and Green which are barely glimpsed in the movie, but figure prominently in Battlefront? Or, the ArcTrooper???

Nope!! It's Fett, then who knows??



take care all,

-Rex

stop teaseing again, show us some darn pictures LOL

kidding

Mikey

Turo, I lost yours I think it blew away in a hurricane yeah that's it LOL .

Man I'm afraid to see any pics myself it's kind of like hearing or seeing yourself on video you never look or sound like you think you do. I feel the same way about these helmets I don't like looking at my own work. Eye's closed.

Man - you dont know how much I'm looking forward to this helmet. This will be my dream quest. Since 1980.

Thanks man.

PICTURES!!!!!!!PICTURES!!!!!!!

You cant post a thread like this without pictures
I was really lucky to have Lee paint my MSH & its without a doubt the BEST paintjob around.
The amount of time & effort he puts into these helmets is unreal.

Nathan

"Fellas..Fellas, I put my pants on just like you..one leg at a time. Except when my pants are on... I paint green helmets!"

LOL. Gotta love that cowbell skit.


Lee

YES! LOVE THE COWBELL SKIT!!!!

Take it from the top, DON'T FEAR THE FETT!!!

I was able to watch Lee work on these helmets.

Trust me...whatever he is charging is not enough. There is so much work in this you would not believe it. Especially with 8 at once!

Good job, Lee

No pictures yet... ?

Jeez dude, just send it to me already and I'll snap a few pics. Then maybe I'll consider sending it back.

take care,

-Rex

sure........ by that time ep3 will be out

hehe

...............................(JEOPARDY music in the backround)........Pics, Pics, Pics..

Well I got my helmet from Lee and it is awesome. My only complaint is it should have had a warning label on box that prepared me to fall on the floor when I opened it. I'm very happy with mine and looking at it leaves me speechless so I'll let the pics do the talking.







Now I just have to finish this baby up.

Man it's weird how flash can washout detail..that is why I kept plugging away on those. I'm glad you are happy and if you guys need anything please contact me.

Lee

Does the happy dance! Muhhahaha! I get to touch it!! :p Nanny nanny boo boo! Right before Holloween too!!!

That is so freakin amazing. Awesome work Lee.

Man, those helmets are...I mean...wow. Words fail me. Washed out or not, that helmet looks **** incredible. I'm absolutely Panzer Olive Green with envy.

Now come on Rex. When do we get to see yours buddy?

Cheers!
TJ

you know with so many helmets going out the door a few things get missed by accident. I looked in the photos and noticed I missed the mild red wash on the mands and the keyslots I have contacted Zam I Ain't to appologize to assist in getting that corrected and it's like a 30 second thing but major to the desired effect.
From what I can tell the reason this color is so hard to match is it's actually 2 different colors sprayed on top of each other and it alters the final look(like he sprayed on the color and was not satisfied so it was redone with masking) You can actually see brighter red splotches on the mands in areas. I achieve this with one of the colors and then doping the look with the red wash. So technically there may be no one color for the red that is why it's so hard to match but I'm waiting for the answer on this but this person is not that easy to get in touch with and when you do Fett helmets are not the subject of choice for them.

AWESOME!!
Any pics with the Visor installed??
And any pics of the inside??

Is that a MSH2 helmet?

Mine should be here soon... can't wait!

Kurtyboy, yes it will.

That is a killer looking helemt. Everytime I see one painted by Lee it just makes me want one more and more.

I don't have a visor yet. I'm getting one on the 7th and hopefully installed soon after.
The inside is just painted black. Not much to see right now.
