Thank you for the reply, it was good to get a definitive answer.

Hi RafalFett , Firstly, thank you for all your work on this. It's wonderfully detailed, and very inspiring! I have a helmet which I built to your v2 plans. I'm thinking of repainting it using the ultra paint templates. I've run into a problem getting one of the templates to fit. This also...

Thanks B0B4F3TT . I'm glad I was able to give you some useful information. I've just bought myself a 3D printer in the Black Friday sales, so I expect my next helmet project will involve less messing around with moulding and casting! I'm glad to have done it a couple of times though.

Hi, I'm David. I'm new here. I'm from Scotland originally but currently living in England, near Bristol. I just finished my first Boba Fett helmet and decided it was about time I joined!

I've been lurking quietly here for a long time, but this year I finally bit the bullet and challenged myself to build and paint a Boba Fett helmet. Here is the final result: I started back in January with a pile of cardboard and a set of Rafal Fett's plans. I built the cardboard helmet, and...
