Where do you buy those fiberglas Boba Fett helmets?

watch the cargo hold here... folks are always selling something :)

a typical fiberglass helmet seems to range from $100 - $300 depending on where you get it from and how fancy it is. you then have to sand / paint / etc...
 
don't buy one on ebay unless you know the seller is a well respected tdh crafter. e.g. don't buy amiadfilter. you'll probably be dissapointed.
 
Wow.Has anyone made an sterling silver one.?:confusedIf so how of it did you need?And do they have a mold for it?:facepalm
An inquiring mind,BFett

No ones ever made a sterling silver bucket (to my knowledge) there is a maker here who makes awesome aluminium helmets, as mentioned before your best bet is to keep an eye on the cargo hold, there are always good quality helmets for sale if you check back often enough, best of luck and welcome aboard (y)

wow, that was wicked confusing :)

is that your way of saying "i thought they'd be way less than that?"

anyway, no... sterling would be a **** material... too soft ;)

This is why you start with primer, then do a metallic silver coat of paint. Mask off some scratches using masking tape, then paint over it with the color you want the helmet to be, remove the tape, then sand the edges of the scratches a bit to make it look more natural.
 
Then again it might be too soft

i definitely think it would be too soft. silver isn't the toughest thing out there... one drop and i think your bucket would be history. not to mention the $$$ on that much silver!

cold cast or straight up aluminum would both definitely make the silver base code redundant, if that's the route you're looking to go.
 
OK so ya'll think its a bad idea.Hmmmm,ok fine so a how much does that aluminum helmet cost?:confused.And does anybody know why my signature's picture won't show up?!?!?:eek:
Curious,BFett.

Although a sterling silver helmet would have amazingly effective anti-werewolf properties, it's probably not the best way to go. ;)
