Hello from good old Essex, UK

Oi oi guys, my name is Callum and im from Essex in the little country called England, I am 17 turning 18 in 2 weeks, i am single but am on the quest to find that lucky girl haha, i am new to the costuming side of things but Seeing all the brilliant costumes at Star wars Celebration just gone it made me want to get into it so if any of you guys have any tips for getting started with a boba fett helmet please feel free to give some advice, may the force be with you, Callum

Welcome dude.....

Welcome to the forum! Do you know which version you'd like to do yet? Most people will do whichever version was in their favorite movie. That being said you'll find plenty of references here on either ESB or ROTJ. Also are you planning on scratch building a helmet or getting on from a maker on here? If you're planning on buying a helmet from someone I would HIGHLY recommend getting it either from here or researching the seller on here to make sure they do good work. Many people have been burned by sellers who are recasting or selling poor quality products. Also do you plan on doing the painting yourself or are you going to have someone else paint it? You'll find stencils here that will help with the painting for most helmet makers but I don't know how they will line up with a scratch built helmet. Good luck with the build!

Hello, i would like to do it as a scrath build as I would like it to be my own and the version was going to be the boba fett style helmet but then my own paint job if you get what i mean.

I know exactly what you mean. It sounds like you want a custom mando with some heritage lol.
