Got the helmet and I have to say, it looks great! On the down side, it's too small for my daughter. She's 10 and about 4'5". However, it will be perfect for my nephew. He's 4 and I know he will love it. Thanks JD!
What about skinny little me? I know some people that can't even fit a DP '95 over their noggins, and I had to pad both sides of the inside of mine to have it hold my head.
I never imagined that this would be such a populated thread. I origionally thought two people wanted this done, and look what happened. :rolleyes I think these turned out better than my regular jango helmet. (second time's a charm ) Best of all, they're in the same $$ range as a rubies, but gelcoated fiberglass, and a chrome plated steel rf stalk. The rf is designed to be permanantly in the upright position, for child safety reasons. Delivery time on these is about a week. Any questions, pm me.
I must say, you certianly turned it into a work of art. A few others have finished these little buckets very nice also, both as Boba, and Jango. Perhaps they would like to display them again, here in this thread.
Here is a comparison between my mystery helmet and my son's JD helmet. I have to admit that I didn't spend as much time and effort into the small helmet's paint job as I did my own...I'm a horrible father!
Judge Dwedd, I would love to buy one of these as well if you're selling unpainted pulls! After a year's worth of work, my son's Fett costume is almost finished, but the DP helmet is simply too big and throws off the scaling of the entire costume. Plus, he can barely lift his shoulders without hitting the helmet, so he looks like a bobble head. If we wait too long, he's going to grow into the helmet and outgrow the rest of the costume before he ever gets to wear it, and I think we've put way too much time and effort into this costume to stop now. If you can sell us one, you'll make his Halloween!
Hey there's actually someone else out there
doing this. Here's a pic of my son (Anakin)in his kid sized Boba, & I (as Jango) posing at a SW DVD release event. I think
the father/son thing works. It took about a month from initial construction to final paint job but It turned out decent. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/bh9680/jangoboba.jpg
