Hello to all Fett fans
My name is Jonas and I'm from Norway.
I have been visting this forum on and off for a few months now and I have finally decided to sign up as a member. Since I always wanted to have my little part of Boba Fett, more specifically a Return Of The Jedi Boba Fett. I was really excited to get a helmet to paint. But the helmet that I got requires a whole lot of loving attention, and still there will be some parts that I would be unhappy about. For example that the left "ear" is not wide enough and the rear key slots have som many air bubbles in them (I'm thinking about cutting them out).
I will add some pictures to give you guys a rough idea of what I mean.

From a "long time" new member (been reading the forum for a while too, but just joined) to another, welcome Jonas.

Good luck with the build. Sounds like you have some work ahead of ya but that's half the fun!

Thank you GoFettYourself (love that name!) There's not a whole lot left until I can paint it silver. Fill in the air bubbles and sand down some minor imperfections. But yeah, half the fun

Welcome Jonas. Fixing problem areas is what this forum is all about. Very supportive bunch of folks on here. I myself am recutting a codpiece out and spreading some more bondo. I like to do things twice on just about everything to make sure I really get it down! Lol.

Good luck with your build and have fun!

Welcome! There's no shortage of DIYers on the tdh, so if you're having issues someone probably knows what to do about it.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I won't be painting this helmet to a very accurate degree, but a sort of visual "looks the same" kinda thing
With fans or a fan for comfort's sake and since it will mostly sit on my shelf, I want to make a small bust or something for it. (starting at the top and see what happens. Might end up as a complete costume!)
