TDH's own Celebration 5 ESB Fett Helmet (Updated 07/11/2010)

**Spideyfett** · 07-04-2010, 01:14 PM

With Celebration V just around the corner... I was recently asked by the Administration to help donate a Boba Fett Empire Strikes Back paint job and display for The Dented Helmet table that will be CV. I was more than happy to lend a hand for the board that has given me so much.

I thought it would be best to share a progress thread, as I'm on a one month time crunch, I figured this thread will help me complete the project as well. This will only be a half Mannequin display at CV, so the upper torso is all that will be completed.

Fettpride has graciously donated a Premium format MR Prototype Fett helmet... the best of the best IMO...Thanks FP. Darthmiller will be completing the armor, and starting a separate thread, and the Administration will be donating purchased pieces to complete this project...

Recieved the FP Premium format helmet last week, and attached the ears... next up the visor install.

looking forward to this Spidey...should be a fun project!!

**Drexx Korso** · 07-04-2010, 09:07 PM

Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

**deadland** · 07-04-2010, 11:43 PM

So will this be topical, layered or a combo? Either way the work that you two do always turns out amazing!!!

Combo of both... would love to complete it all layered, but I only have a month.. ugh.
I think the results will be the same... with more control on exact details.

**darth z** · 07-05-2010, 11:41 PM

another great piece of art is on the horizon :0 cannot wait to see it completed !!!!!!!

**webchief** · 07-06-2010, 10:31 AM

Can't wait to see it displayed!

**Replicant Shadow** · 07-06-2010, 10:34 AM

Killer Spidey! Can't wait to see it!

**stormtrooperguy** · 07-06-2010, 07:25 PM

**Darth Voorhees** · 07-06-2010, 07:40 PM

Sweet looking forward to seeing it complete...and in person at CV!

**superjedi** · 07-08-2010, 04:16 AM

Go Alex! Love seeing your work.

**Art Andrews** · 07-08-2010, 07:08 AM

This has been forever in the making (mostly because I have dropped the ball) but I just want to take the opportunity to openly thank Alex, Chris, and Jason for really stepping up and helping us out with this project! I am really looking forward to seeing it come to life!

**mrgr8ness** · 07-08-2010, 07:47 AM

Will be watching this thread

**shenphong** · 07-08-2010, 09:07 AM

Wish I could make the Celebration and see this in person. I'll be tracking this thread while killing time at work.

**mmgraphics** · 07-09-2010, 06:00 AM

Spidey, I am curious how the paintjob will come along! Be sure I keep an eye on it!

**Spideyfett** · 07-11-2010, 02:47 PM

Visor installed, almost ready to paint.

**Spideyfett** · 07-11-2010, 03:05 PM

Just about ready to start painting..
Got the vest and neakseal in from Batninja.

**HeadlessHunter** · 07-12-2010, 11:58 AM

This is going to be good

**Spideyfett** · 07-12-2010, 08:49 PM

Been a tad busy painting in the last 24hours..

I managed to get the back base colors down. I used the layered method on the back, took some time, but I think it came out great...just need the detail work, I'll save that for the end though...sorry for the bad pics.

**deadland** · 07-13-2010, 09:27 AM

Looking fantastic as always!!!!

**stormtrooperguy** · 07-13-2010, 12:00 PM

wait... so Art will have an ESB helmet? Oh, the humanity!!

**Spideyfett** · 07-13-2010, 05:49 PM

**BobaFuss** · 07-14-2010, 04:28 AM

I'll be donating one of my ESB capes to the cause.

You guys amaze me

El1te

**Spideyfett** · 07-18-2010, 03:14 PM

Thanks everyone for the kind words..

Managed to get the Kill Stripes on and all of the base colors are in place...

**Spideyfett** · 07-18-2010, 03:28 PM

continued with all the base colors....ears included.

**superjedi** · 07-18-2010, 04:52 PM

Awesome, Alex! Mandible details next?

**Spideyfett** · 07-18-2010, 05:42 PM

Thanks Eric... and yup, I like to drop all the main silver scratches on next... no brushing, a little tedious this way but the flat paint results really makes it worth it.

**DarthMiller** · 07-18-2010, 06:12 PM

I saw this bad boy in person today....awesome!

**Art Andrews** · 07-19-2010, 12:20 AM

Loving it! Can't wait to see it in person!

**DarthMiller** · 07-25-2010, 07:43 PM

here is the thread on the armor

**Spideyfett** · 07-31-2010, 05:56 PM

Main scratches on the Dome are complete.. I hope to have this done in the next three days..

**Ponte** · 07-31-2010, 07:36 PM

This is shaping up quite well Spidey! Can't wait to see it in person.

**Cinema Gary** · 08-01-2010, 03:38 AM

looks brilliant Alex....as always excellent work.....

**Firespray Pilot** · 08-01-2010, 11:43 AM

WOW!! REALLY beautiful work! You guys make this seem so easy! Great job so far!!!

**Art Andrews** · 08-04-2010, 06:07 AM

Getting closer.... closer.... hurry up already! Can't wait to see it complete!

**Scott Kaufmann** · 08-08-2010, 11:22 PM

Darnit Alex, I wasn't ready for post #34. My breath literally got caught in my throat and its not even done. It's a good thing I'm an honorable man....otherwise that bust would secretly be coming home with me after the con.

**mmgraphics** · 08-09-2010, 12:26 AM

... and next time fully layered Spidey!

great job!

**Spideyfett** · 08-09-2010, 06:31 AM

Nah... no control over making all the scratches exact, with layered it's "close", but not exact...and the method I use it comes out the same "look", but with an exact scratch. You kinda have to see my work in person to know what I mean.

QUICK UPDATE:

The Bust is complete, but sorry Guys.. we will not be showing pics of the complete bust until after CV....

Thanks again for everyone that helped, but if you're there you're gonna be able to see it first hand.

Pics will post After CV.

Cheers!
