Broken boba helmet tutorial

[brokenboba]

Ill see what I can draw up, I want it down the right side were the eye would be. here is something I would eventually like my Mando to look like. Ill try and get the pic to you tonight my time.

Here is my idea#1 and the front of my Kama , you can see the color scheme

 

[brokenboba]

The astrik is were I will be installing 2 greebles that are turned aluminim.

My other idea is the bantha skull over the helmet just off center and up to the right in red with a black helmet what do you think? This one has more attitude. With blast marks & close call too.

well here's my progress. I did most of this last weekend. I cut out the key slots. cut and installed the foam with velcro ( like a bike helmet) that way It can be adjusted. Oh and I cut the visor out and dis some sanding.
I can definately do the cut over the right eye.
At this point I made the cuts on the key slots of helmet # 2 but chose to focus on the better of the two helmets to get at least one of these finished asap. Still waiting on the back ordered visor for helmet # 2

Cargo Hold here on TDH

What is a fair price for a kit?

 

[Huntman]

Depends on if it is a fres un cut kit? already assembled? or trimmed with mistakes? Still can't get ahold of bradley to get a price on some stuff. Is he okay?? does anyone know???

 

[Huntman]

well here's my update. I have impland ted the nut bolt assembly in the range finder and put the 3 coats of black on the good helmet. Man I love a glossy black helmet. Looks like a race car for the brain Oh yeah and i put the close call scratches in

 

[Huntman]

Well one might ask if I accidently cut my bvradlet fett helmet too short and have to shim it up like I have here how does it paint up? well look for yourself

Looks great. Like the 'scar'.

Are those the ears that came with the kit?

 

[Huntman]

Thanks, not as in depth as painting a boba helmet I did( but more freeing to take artistic chances) but still a beautiful thing to hold handle and drool over. I like the one in your avatar sweet and detailed! And those white ears on that helmet are AWESOME!. The #2 helm I am working on has none If it were my helm and I were going custom I would use a set of those.

Of course I would also add fans, range finder lights,servo motor and headset walkies and..... Oh wait I am getting off topic

 

[brokenboba]

I love it !!!!!!! love it so much I am reconsidering on keeping #2 red as well, I have some other ideas in mind. I owe you big time!!!!!!

 

[brokenboba]

Hey Sarge, what are the chances we could do a Baccara style to the 2nd bucket? I know its short notice, if not thats ok it was just an idea.

 

[Huntman]

anyone have any experience on the Baccara thing ?? any advice?? I don't mind trying something new. I like doing custom work and paint jobs. For this to work I might need a set of ears to help moor the addition. or I could replace the whole front with a storm trooper face plate and bacara that up from there? I can acquired a set if you want? maybe even the face plate too if it's still available.
If i get them sent directly to me it would save shipping. let me know when you receive the last helmet. I would love to have kept it so black and shiny.

 

[MandalorFett]

That's some really nice work. Be sure to clear coat the helmet to reduce the shine.

 

[brokenboba]

SGT pm sent.................... What do you suggest to coat it with? A neautral coat? Npt glossy, yes it would really Pretty but wont fit the charecter. you have a PP account I still owe you 20? right
