Hi guys! I would like to begin the creation of a boba fett helmet using pepakura (I have very limited funds...) and then move on to the armor! I am new to the costume stuff and could use any advice/tips you have for me! I've seen a lot of your work and they're amazing! Thanks!

the helmet is pretty much the most important part of your costume. if you've never done anything like this before, i would suggest starting with the armor, just to get some experience with the process, then move onto pep gauntlets. once you have a good idea of what you're doing with folding, taping, fiberglass, resin, and bondo, then you should be ready to move onto the helmet.

Having used a pep for the helmet, I would not recommend the use of pep files for the helmet. Use RF's templates and instructions http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/rafal-works-helmet-rwh-v2-helmet-templates-build-45938/

That's what I'm using right now, I finished the dome today, I started a new thread to post my progress

Unfortunately due to the limited time frame I have, I need to get the helmet done first, so I'm doing the rf template to make it, and later on when I have time over the summer I can make some armor
