Thanks for the kind words!
Small update! More details added. Keep in mind, body filler will be used to smooth and fill, and even things out on the details. This will also be made into a boba fett, then molded. Then the dent will be filled and a jango fett mold will be made, (the jango helmets will use an alluminum filler so they can be polished up) and last but not least! everything will be filled and smoothed out and made into a custom mandolorian that can be customized in any way. Also keep in mind that these three helmets are for myself, but if there is any interest in it, in the future ill be glad to mold an extra one or two for sale.
The rangefinder piece will be sanded tomorow and filled.
The stalk will also be sanded and filled
The dent will also be there tomorow.

Lol, I ran out of glue and bondo too. Still haven't made time to run out to the store and get more. Maybe tomorrow...
But yours looks great. Good idea on the molds, too! Maybe do the Jango first, and then put in the dent, rather than put in the dent, and then mold it for Boba, and then fill and sand, and do Jango? Just an idea.
Very very cool.

I just finished all my final sanding for this helmet and its on to the painting stage. Its been primered. A layer of rustoleum Satin Oregano has been added, and is currently drying. Also some minor details have been painted on...Just killin time.
If you can spot it you get a dr. pepper!
Here is a picture of both spartan and mando helmets together.
Painted, almost done!
The back of the helmet
I am hoping to get this done by mid next week. Next up is a custom side panel for it.

New update! I just reinforced the cheeks so they dont "TeH fAiL" on me and deform.
I learned that the application of fiberglass filler is easy, not the sanding part. Its even hard with an electric sander....
Sexy shot of an ugly part.
