Second Time Mando Helmet (Custom)

Okay, so I'm hearing I should either lose the tubing entirely and just have the fin, or lose the fin and just have like a tube mowhawk. Well, I like the idea of a tube mowhawk, but I feel like the hose stuff I'm using wouldn't look right alone, so I guess I'll lose that and just have the fin. I ought'a have some more progress soon along those lines, so thanks for the suggestions Carud and Saint_nasty!

Kandosii! Great work, ner vod. Quick question: when you cut the sheet metal, did you use a bandsaw? Or did you do it by hand with a hacksaw? Just curious...got a little experience working with sheet aluminum, but nothing that thick.

Mando.wannabe: I actually used an angle grinder to cut it out. I tried doing it with a sawzall, but I could'nt cut accurately enough, and other than the angle grinder my only other option was a torch, which I have no experience with. An angle grinder is actually ideal for this type of metal, because it's too thick for any type of saw to work well with, but it's thin enough that you can actually do some pretty good quality curves.

Once again, I'm sorry this took so long, but the rangefinder has been the hardest part of this project for me so far, since it's just about the only thing I've never done before at all. Anyway, I decided to make the randefinder a lot wider than it is on Boba Fett's, since recently I was playing the game "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter", where I noticed Jango's rangefinder looks relatively wide there, and I thought it looked cool. The only thing I noticed on my helmet was that I seem to have made the part below the actual rangefinder (I don't know what to call it) in a way that makes it stick out less than it's supposed to, so it seems to make the rest look bigger than it is. So yeah, I also have some pictures from the game to show you what I'm talking about. And I never have gotten around to taking off that yellow tube stuff, but I will before to long, just so you know. As always, any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
