I know the dome is too large. This is mainly to learn from my mistakes and a fancy dress party in february so im not that bothered. Next one will be better...
I cut some triangle slits and a bit of bending in the right direction. I worried about it too but then stopped once i had coverered them in filler/bondo. Dont worry about them being perfect as when you have filled and sanded they will look fine.
Also check out antmans threads. he has done two helmets so far and is a genius. Both thread are on here. Read his text as well cos he gives good tips. His attention to detail is outstanding.
Very.... Very.... nearly finished my first scratch build!!!!! Only have some detail work to do on the right ear (as you look at helmet). I am going to now make a rough costume as I have a fancy dress party end of jan but then I will start my second "perfect"! helmet. Going to use 1mm poly instead of cardboard this time.
Big thanks to W.O.F, Antman, Digifett, Count Dookie and loads of other people on here that have posted good stuff to learn from. I am now a TDH member for life!!!!!!
My boba fett 'fancy dress' costume for the 'hollywood' theme birthday party. Also 3 other people turned up as star wars charactures. Thought I was going to be the only Star Wars geek!!!!!
