Also, shoutout to my friend Sean Eike, a freelance artist in comic art, digital painting, traditional gouache (watercolor) painting, and costume design and fabrication. He does 3D printing projects and printed me an exact shape for Boba Fett's helmet dome. This allowed me to slowly match the...

Sorry for the long wait. Big update on the helmet. As the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the shops that I used to do my metalworking in, I had to find a new way to continue my hobby. Over the past year I have invested in several different pieces of machinery in my garage for this and future...
