Boba Fett Pre-Pro #2 (PP2) Helmet Stencils

You're wrong and not. The PP#2 dent is smaller than the PP#3, or ESB, because you know all of the dents were scratchbuilt and attached to supertrooper helmets. So yes, it's smaller (and also sharper), but it's not what you think it is, the yellow line is just a shadow, not the "original" dent.

If you look on the uncleaned GMH you will see the same mark of a partially filled dent. My guess is that they initially wanted a bigger dent and used a template to cut out the hole then they did a smaller scratch made dent and filled the remaining part.

I made a more profound compare of the ESB and PP2 dent and it's form and size match.

That's not a filled dent but scratches Sandy add to the dent. Well, of course all the dents were filled, but that's not what you think.

You might be right. What I said before was just my theory... Nothing much.

With the dent I totally see were you are getting the idea for that but you need to cconsider it like this,
All six helmets were originally dentless they decided to add a dent ,
a dent was made they then made a mold and castings of the dent, and made 5 dents that were to end up in the helmets,
to add the dents they needed to cut out the dent sized hole , it looks as though on the PP2 they went a little to far with the cutting ,
they made the dent with a lip around the out side to blend it in to the rest the PP2 has the most obvious proof tyhe dent was added but if you look closely on the PP3 you can also see were they did this how ever there isnt as much of an extra lip around the dent ,
Any way my point is the dent are all the exact same size and shape they look difrent (specially the ESB) becouse of the added white/light gray highlights on the dent but there all from the same mold

You are right jinto. Now I think too that all the dents are the same size (maybe not in the same spot, but close enough).

exactly seeing there all placed by hand the positioning is a bit of between them all the PP2 being the most previlant ,
and becouse up until the MR linage, most helmets had the dent placment of the PP2 there for we are most use to its positioning.

And these have turned out great , so have all your other stencils , great work(y)

Added to the first post the Dome color separation files. Merged the Red Face and Rear Keyhole files. Added the Dome Top Area scratches as a guide to all of the top scratches. I think I put the top scratches a little bit to the front. Maybe I will change that...

Thanks, jinto! I'm glad you like all of them.

Replaced the Dome Top Area image with a corrected one. Remember that this image is a flat view of the dome's top area and must use to fit mostly the top center and the surrounding scratches.

Love that dome top shot! Very nice work. I'll be studying these color maps closely alongside the reference pictures.
Thanks for putting all the work into these templates. :)

Thanks for the kind words, superjedi! Yeah, I love too the dome top view. Looks like a map of an alien planet.

Rafal,
I was referring to the paint and scratches, not the emblems. C'mon....I know you wanna do it! :)

There is one amazing stencil made by evan4218 here Chest Armor Stencils and I think is the ROTJ armor from the MoM exibits. Or you are talking about the PP2 armor stencils? Not sure if I will do it... But never say never!

Added to the first post the perspective image of the helmet. Should help to fit all the nasty scratches...
