C5 Project tease...

Here's a size comparrison. It's not too much wider except that the regular helmets get narrower as they go up where Cam's version is straight so it looks weird. The ears are just temporarily screwed on to give me an idea how it will look- no detail work done on them yet.

Oh and Chucko, the site I got the sphere from is www.1000bulbs.com.

Sorry, double posted.

 

[Chucko]

Thanks alot

I really can't wait to see this in person at CV! You've created something new here... from the armor to the helmet. Good job!

I am just admiring your work here very much. My biggest fear when I am doing my painting is really messing up the job. I hope I can come just halfway as good as your paint jobs and weathering. Top Notch my friend

 

[Muad Dib]

Thanks guys!

Keep in mind this paintjob in no way has to be as precise as all the other Fett's
need to be so I get to put the scuffs and scratches anywhere I want to.
That makes it much easier.

Here's the finished ear detail. They are pretty simple designs and I will fill the screw holes in but they're pretty much done:

Here's the VERY basic start of the helmet. The screws will be removed once the epoxy sets and then I'll fill the holes back in. It's also way long at the moment. I
am so nervous about this helmet build because there's so much to try to get perfect for the look to be just right.

Nice set of buckets

It's been a while but I finally got the back mounted today. Next up is to cut out the cheeks and work on that part of the nightmare!

 

[Fett 4 Real]

bout time you got to work...Ive only been buying more parts and pieces for projects...

 

[Muad Dib]

And BOOM, there you are. LOL!

 

[Fett 4 Real]

LMAO you know it....nothing better to do.

This is really cool! The blocky design is really growing on my...Kennedy's a great artist, his take on the Punisher was awesome! (My favorite Marvel hero, coincidentally)

I got the cheeks mounted:

If only there was a way of making the helmet shorter over all to match the artwork but the shape of the human head won't allow for it.
Other than that, it came out perfect!

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Ah I think it turned out great

 

[Muad Dib]

I'm pretty happy with the proportions and how it sits on my head.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Yeh WAY more wide looking than how I thought it was gonna turn out based on it next to the regular bucket...

 

[Muad Dib]

Believe it or not, it's only maybe a 1/2 of an inch wider at the base. It's the fact that there is no taper going up that makes it look huge.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

looks good man great work

 

[Muad Dib]

Tis helmet is taking longer than I anticipated but I think I'm on the home stretch now. Here are the installed, finished cheeks:

Cut the visor out, too:
