so ,it's a boy sized helmet
lol, yes. I'd say it's an ideal size for an average sized 8-10 year old. If I had your screen cast helmet it would be to the immediate right of the BKBT, but this one is still smaller than the Rubies latex delux that I have. It's a chopped up Pre Viszla helmet, so I still need to reduce the large cheek areas. It's being made to have a movable aluminum rf stalk and will be molded for reproduction. I'm basically making it for the son of a friend.
Nice work Cruzer, as alwaysReally, this helmet looks really clean and nice, specially for a kid who is going to love it when he has it on his head
it could be realy nice for a super sexy fem-mando

lol...more like a "super" cute little "fem-mando"! It's too small in my opinion for a small adult female, especially since this helmet is smaller than a Rubies deluxe (there's an oxymoron).it could be realy nice for a super sexy fem-mando
A little more progress on this thing. I was able to rework the cheeks, and after about 2-3 attempts I'm finally satisfied with them. I also began carving out the triangles, and once those are done, I'll attach the ear pieces and begin prepping it for molding.
Very nice Cruzer. Awesome work as always my friend.
Funny thing too, as that helmet would fit really well with the scale of the kids jet pack I've started... more on that later.
A kid's jetpack sounds like a really good idea.
All finished...
color me interested when your ready to take some more of my money.
ya, count me in for one as well...
Began working on a cold cast version for a friend's son.
The Royal Blue is on. I'm painting this helmet exactly like I paint adult sized ones. First I masked off all of the parts that were going to remain silver, then I lightly sanded the exposed areas with 320 grit paper that had been worn down somewhat with prior use. Lastly, I gave all of the exposed areas a good coat of Royal Blue. I'll give it about 5-6 days to dry before masking off the parts that will remain dark blue.

I hope you know how much many of the guys on here envy you and your work.
The helmet looks good.
Thanks, but there are many guys on here whose skills surpass mine...especially the Boba experts.
Here's the final product with removable visor and movable aluminum stalk. Now it's just waiting for its little owner to come get it. I'll be sure to take some pics when he picks it up.
I know that kid's jetpack is a good ideaA kid's jetpack sounds like a really good idea..
I've done it as a part of costume for my son
