Discussion on Republic Commando within the Mandalorian Armor Costumes forum, part of the Star Wars Universe category; Well a few weeks ago I ran into a Republic
Well a few weeks ago I ran into a Republic Commando helmet and decided I'd give it some love. The helmet is being sanded and will get some bondo work. It has a few bubbles and such, I can't wait until I get it all done though!! I plan to make it in Sev's paint scheme.

Lookin sweet! Can't wait to see you get it finished, I know it'll look awesome.
That is one sharp looking RC bucket !! I'm sure you'll have fun with it!! 8)
I always liked the design of those helmets. Keep the progress pics coming.
How much did that cost you? I really wanna get one but dont wanna spend over $200
The helmet was given to me. I don't know how much it's worth.
This one is very accurate. I've seen a few on ebay, one wasn't very accurate (needed far more detail, but shape was ok) and it had a price tag of $300, but really not worth that - I would pay $100 max for that one.
I'm sure this one could go for $400.
Looks like a good base for your project... keep the pics coming.
Nice work Andy! I think the RC's are some of the coolest warriors out there. Loved the game too!
Keep the progress pics coming.
First update after quite a long time. I finally got time to work on the helmet. How do you guys think it is looking so far? A TON of bondo work went into it since the first pictures were taken.
I think you should go start working on the armor! haha. Cause this looks amazing. I cant wait until you paint it up.
Very nice!
RCs are cool...and this helmet is shaping up to be one of the better ones I have seen.
very nice. can't wait to see more.
Nice work on the helmet so far.
Nice... It's amazing that just after a little bondo and a layer or two of primer it looks allot more crisp around the edges?
Gonna be a great lid...
Look'n good ner vod, can't wait for more pics.
Ja, I look foreward to seeing armor pics.
Man, I'd love to have one of those to play with. I can't wait to see it all painted up with the lights installed!
Ah! another Sev fan!
I used to have one of these,got it from the maker. I used work with the guy that sculpted it,in Orlando Fl at a scenic/prop shop. Nice guy,great artist. To your left is my RC bucket by a different maker and modified and painted by me to be more accurate. The armor is still in the building/painting stages.
Heres a bigger pic of the helmet with shoulder armor.
Let me know if need any tips or help:-)

GCNgamer your bucket looks like a bigwater. I like the proportions overall but it is a big melon lid. I need to tweak the guts a bit if I ever want to don it for a forray out into public. Bobble....bobble Your helmet is looking great man.

Throw some paint on it Andy!
Anymore updates Andy...
'or' are still in the FP zone...
Hah, I don't know what zone I'm in now. I'm working on more or less 4 helmets, and then the FP Armour. Right now for the RC helmet, I need to do something about the ears, and when that's done, I'll be painting it

I didn't make it, it was made by a friend of mine, but it was fiberglassed.
