Bo Katan A little side project for a friend...Bo Katan

Thanks guys. I decided to narrow the elevated areas behind the ears by a 1/4" because they just seemed too wide, and I finished up the key slots in the back. Now I just need to figure out how the rangefinder ear cap is going to attach and stay in place. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.(y)

Definitely movable. I wouldn't want to "short change" LFL's first female helmet. ;)
I finished the rangefinder ear cap last night and am moving on to the actual rangefinder this weekend. :)

Jeff had shared with me that you were going to be working on the soft parts for this costume, and I'm glad to hear it!(y)

I decided to extend the bottom of the helmet in the back to make it more accurate. I also permanently attached the rangefinder ear and began filling in around it. I'll try to get some progress pics up today after work.
Please let me know if anyone sees anything that needs adjusting.:)
Thanks. - Cruzer

Ok, here is where the helmet is as of right now. I don't plan on making any major changes unless someone has a suggestion. I did narrow the visor area along the top line by 1/8", as well as increase the width of the widow's peak to bring it lower. However, I'm not happy with the visor area, so please let me know if anyone sees anything I should change.

Thanks,
Cruzer

Sorry for the lack of updates, guys. Had to step away from this project to finish "way overdue" Jango orders. The movable rangefinder stalk is completed. Now I have moved on to the rangefinder and hope to have it finished soon. I'll try to post pics tonight of the stalk and rangefinder progress.

My intentions are to cast the rangefinder stalks separately in aluminum cold cast with metal armatures to alleviate breaking, and then cast the rangefinder in white resin with the stalks embedded in them for permanent attachment. Once i have the rangefinder completed, I'll probably have to do a small preorder run at a discounted price to drum up funds for the four separate molds that will need to be made to put this helmet into production. I'll try to get some pics of the rangefinder and stalk up tonight.

Take it easy, :)

Sorry guys i failed to make the time to take pics. Over the past few days I've now logged about 5 hours on just the rangefinder alone because this thing has so many angles and sides. To make it I'm using a combination of styrene sheets in various thickness' of 1/8", 1/16", and 1/32"...and filling in with bondo when possible. It's 85% complete, and today after work I just need to finish up the curved detailing by the RF stalk, to be done. I promise to have pics up tonight. (y)

The RF stalk height looks good. Looks about the same as a Boba or Jango stalk.
Nice detail in the RF (y)
