Hey Guys ! Im new around here and i wanted to show you guys my latest build that i started like a year ago the:

McQuarrie concept Fett.

(The progress is slow because i have to study a lot so i don't have much free time on my hand)

So first i made a basic mando helmet with the WOF templates then i started to build up the basic shapes on top of that like this:

It was not easy because there aren't any templates for this helmet (or i just didn't find any i don't know)
so i eyeballed the whole thing.

After fiberglassing:

After some deeper research i repaired some details like the visor then i started filling and sanding the whole thing (still in this process) :

Then i added some details with sintra to the visor and the nose area:

The next thing i did. I changed the shape of the mouth piece because it was too small so i made it a little bit bigger:

Like this!

So this is my progress so far! I will upload more photos as i proceed further with the build.
I hope you guys like it!

May the force be with you !

Great work so far! I see that the helmet in your avatar has the ROTJ sindrome (vertically flipped image), as some of the concept arts were inverted in a couple of images. I say this so you can avoid adding the rangefinder to the wrong side on your build. Check out the Gallery for more images ==> Boba Fett Concept Art.
 
Well thank you im glad you like it :D And actually i make this for my custom mando set (i will make a thread about that too in the future)
If you need any tip for the build feel free to ask :)
 
SMALL !UPDATE!

Alright i had some free time on the weekend so i progressed further with the sanding and bondoing:

And i noticed that the back of the helmet was asymmetric so i started to fill up that section

(im planning to do several versions: the original one and custom design for my custom mando armor)
