Hello all,
My name is Joe and I found this site after buying a Boba helmet off Ebay.
I have been a prop colector for around 4 to 5 years and collect mostly Vader and Predator stuff. I have multiple Vader helmets along with a full size ESB/ROTJ Vader costume/display. I also have quite a few predator masks and a display bust.
Any way, I bought this Boba Fett helmet off Ebay and I figured it would be a good project for me. The seller stated it was a Mystery helmet, but I think it may be a MSH2, judging by some of the threads on this forum.
Maybe the Mystery and the MSH2 are the same?
Here are pics of it that I took after I repaired some cracks that were in it when it arrived.
The cracks were running up and down from the corners of the T-Visor cut out, on both sides. :cry They were close to going all the way through, so with a little pressure you could actually bend the sides out quite a bit.
If you look at the pics of the inside of the helmet you can see darker areas where I added a few layers of fiberglass cloth to sturdy up where the cracks were.
This worked very well and I think I am ready to start cleaning up the T-visor cut and cut out the holes in the back.
Any suggestions and info on what type of helmet this is would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe
