Boba Fett Helmet Blueprints/Templates

I just found out the the sevrer that is hosting the templates was hacked and all of the file deleted. A restore is being attempted, but we will have to wait and see if all goes well.

I will be trying to upload every thing on to an other server soon. Until then please send me an e-mail and I will get the templates out to you.

Hello,

At the request of many I have finally convert the helmet template to print out full size on standard 8 ½” X 11” paper. Also I have finally manage to get the range finder templates up loaded as well, both link to the PDF files are listed in the first post.

I know that many have also asked for a tutorial and there will be a tutorial coming hopefully in the near future, so stay tuned. If anyone has any questions or suggestions for the templates please let me know.

I have seen some great work on these scratch built helmets and hope to see more keep up the outstanding work. Please post pics your progress, I can say for a fact that seeing what folks can do with the templates has inspired me to continue to develop them, thank you for the inspiration.

Enjoy, have a great day.

Alan

I just started mine today! I have all of the WOF templates and deceided to tackle the helmet first. I had everything printed out and then got a sheet of posterboard I had laying around and a can of spray addhesive I also had laynig around. I went ahead and aheered the trimmed cut out onto the poster board and then waited for it to dry then cut out the pieces. I have the whole lower surround built without the earpieces. I went looking for a helmet tonight but couldn't find anything I liked at Target or Wal-mart.

I will have to rebuild this helmet with an increase in size. It appears to be just a touch larger than my Rubies 2 piece which all the other Jango guys say looks too small on me. I only used thecheekbone backplate on the cheeks and I think they came out really well!

Does anyone know about what thickness the "front" of the helmet should be? I need to know how thick the "ring" or lip around the top should be?

I also got over zealous and cut out my T-visor and now my whole construcion is warped. Not that it really matters all that much because I need to go back and enlarge the file anyways!

Thanks again Alan!

For the thickness if I remember correctly it was 1/16th inch. I was planning on using layers of 1//16th plastic to build it up.

Good luck.

Ok now I am confused on the rear key holes. Well my first mistake was installing them in the frame upside down....oops..... there was this small line about 3mm thick and around 50mm long with the key hole parts. I assumed there was supposed to be two. Now that my keyhole is made I noticed that it is too far recessed and I was not supposed to do that. Am I supposed to recess the whole keyhole frame? Or am I supposed to fold the sides of the frame to recess it? Again I am trying to use my Rubies 2 piece for refference but it doesn't help much because I do not know what is accurate or not.Thanks again Alan!

-Chris
 
I am not sure that I completely understand, but the key hole frame should be mounted from the inside of the helmet. With that said it should be recessed about 1/16th of an inch (1.5 mm) from the external surface of the helmet.

Hope this helps.

Alan, I was wondering on the left earpiece if the center strip is recessed and by how much. I am starting the earpieces and would like to know this little detail. The photos appear to have it recessed but I just want to be accurate. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it is recessed it looked to be about 1/8" deep, but that is only a estiimate on my part.

Probably anything between 1/16"th and 1/8"th would work.

Alan, are the ear pieces mounted perpendicular and centered on the centerlines you have shown on the top view. I would like to mount the ear pieces and want to be sure of the orientation.
 
Hi I cant printed out the templates on acrobat, so I had to copy every single image and save them like jpeg to my disk drive. Thats the only way to print out. So I dont know if the measures are right. so can you tell me on the dome base left side what is the measure from "A" to "B" point.
Thanks
 
Hello,

I was asked how the cheekbones were put together and since I am a lousy with words here is a picture.

The megenta part is the backplate it is a little larger than the cheekbone (green part) Once the 2 parts are glued together the "step" that is formed by the larger piece acts as a gluing surface for the (blue) cheekbone part. You may have to cut this part into 2 pieces to get it glued down.

Hope this helps.

Alan
