Dug out the helmet I was working on for this build. I'm pretty happy with it since I built it from scratch and I'm not looking for a perfect replica, but I want something better than a cheap costume... in the end. I need to do the following: - Cold cast the top of the helmet and remove the...

That's a great point about needing to buy two of them to make the other parts! Maybe this would be a better option? New Dickies 33999BK s s Coveralls Short Sleeve Mens Black Navy Grey Red Khaki | eBay

Haven't been on in awhile, but was looking at my helmet in the garage the other day and thinking I should jump back into my budget build. (My last post is just about where my progress ended). My helmet and gauntlets are Rhondo'd. My armour pieces are cut, but was having a difficult time...

So I was a little worried that 3 coats of Rhondo on the inside of my bucket might be a little much and I was right. It's hard as a rock, but when I put it on my head my nose now hits the shield area. arg. Anyone had this happen? Hoping I can router out the inside a bit and it will fit yet...

Hi and first off thanks to everyone who has contributed to this site and particularly those who have give me insight on my other threads. This build, albeit early yet, has been a great adventure in learning about my favorite SW bounty hunter character of all time, Boba Fett. I've found the...

Update! After much work my Helmet is ready for the hardening process. Much thanks to ToolGuy301 for his tips and support! I'm really glad I tried Skips template in Pepakura as I feel this helmet is much better than the first one I did in Pep. Here is a pic. I'm going to open a new posting in...

Great start! Working on a pep helmet myself. Gotten some great help from this community.

Having trouble finding a scalable key slot template, anyone got the a linky? Thanks in advance!

Now why didn't I think of that! :)

Well still working on the helmet big time! Got much of it reinforced, but got along way to go including the lid. Question for that if your around Chris or anybody.... how do I get the dent in the helmet in Skips pep build? Is there any easy way. My thought it to build it up then cut the dent...
