Dex's Y-Wing Helmet building thread

No, the wheatering on the X-Wing Helmet is original.Did you had any news about your B-Wing Helmet?

You definitely lucked out with that X-wing helmet. Those paint jobs were all over the place. That's probably one of the best ones I've seen.
My B-wing helmet is currently encased in rubber and half a shell of plasti-paste, so should'nt be much longer.

I'd almost forgotten about the foam padding around the opening. I'm wondering if it might be worth sculpting that piece kinda like Richie's but with the purpose of making a mold and using foam latex or something. I wish I was better at identifying or even locating these obscure found parts.
 
Update! Painting is finished.Oh man I am very happy with this cool helmet.Rich,I love you,thousands thanks which you fulfilled to me this dream.

Had order foampadding and differend leather imitats yesterday and hope to can complete finish in the next 14 days or so.I had a innerhelmet (same than in the original stormtrooper and Boba Fett helmet)which was used for the original Y-Wing Helmet to but will made it like in style of a motorcycle helmet for more comfort.
 
Hi Frank!
You're welcome! :)
It's nice to see what they'll look like done, I hoped they would look pretty close to the original prop and yours does!

It almost looks like an official licensed item!
I'm just trying to source some leather at the moment and if I get some before you do, I'll mail you a strip.
I'm glad you fulfilled your dream and am surprised more people haven't done a sculpt (just mine and the RA) I think...
 
Cool! That does look a close match!
How much can you get me? :)
You're done after this aren't you? Or do you intend to tweak it a little more?

Dex
 
Nice! Looks like it will look as good inside as out!
Adding earphones/mini speakers or the odd small printed circuit board in there?

Ever going to wear it out to conventions or will it be staying safe at home? :)

Kewl, I have to get me some of those kneepads! I would definitely wear this to CVI, or any con for that matter.
Will finish the helmet this week and if I made a complete costume in future I will go to cons with it.Bacta let me now if you had updates with your B-Wing helmet.
I am very interessted.
