I’ve not read through the entire thread, but the title did make me chuckle because here we all are comparing how wonky and inaccurate these busts are...and then they go and use one for one of our favorite shows....MAKING us accept said wonky helmet as now canon and something we want. Love it! Haha

The hunt for a good mannequin seems never ending. I’ve built several over the years for everything from Vader, Maul and even my Ledger Joker. I had a killer full set of Fett armor years ago that I sold because I was so frustrated with crappy mannequins. Any cheap manny can be used to get a...

You guys have any ideas on the best way to attach the 1/8" thick acetate to the MDF? Some kind of flexible adhesive?

hey guys i just had a SgtFang fett helmet painted up by a very talented member here...the paint work turned out amazing! i noticed that the helmet seems to be a bit out of shape when you look at it from the bottom...it seems that since the part was removed for the visor it made the helmet...
