Thanks Rexermus! Since in-universe this is supposed to be the same helmet and nothing was ever created for this game beyond illustrations (as far as I know), I figured we had a bit of leeway. My main object was to make this look more like a Boba Fett helmet than a Jango... so I like the idea of...

View of the back: I can't get over how realistic a metal effect that chrome powder makes! If you haven't tried this stuff, do it now!

After a bit of deliberation... I've decided to go with classic stripe placement! I decided on six kill stripes. Here it is masked up: I used petroleum jelly again for the paint chipping effect, making sure to get on the edges of the piping... then spray paint on top: The final result...

Here are a few ideas: They all look better than I thought they would... and they'll tie in even better once I add the grungy distressing. So.. what do you guys think?

Great job! My first Boba build was a very low budget and didn't look half as good was what you've done. Bravo!!

Ok... looking for some feedback/ideas about adding the kill stripes. Should I try painting them over the pinstripes? Or should I place them higher on the helmet above the pinstripes? Should I just not add the kill stripes? The 1313 artwork does not have them, but I thought this might tie in better

Added some automotive pinstriping and put all the parts back onto the helmet: Next step is the grungy distressing! :) I'm also debating adding a few kill stripes, but not sure how that would look on top of the pinstriping.

Some more work... first on to the ears. Masked off and jellied: Sprayed with a darker blue and jelly removed: Masking the mandibles: Jellied and spray painted: Masking removed. This is when I generally use a heat gun to speed up the drying of the paint. It's a little tricky as too...

Starting the fun stuff... masking off for the light blue parts: Adding the petroleum jelly (I did most with my fingers, but used a Q-tip to add some thinner "scratch" effects)...

Starting the painting... practicing on the ear piece. Here it is after the chrome powder: Next, I dabbed on some petroleum jelly on the spots I wanted to keep silver...

I just picked up this gorgeous Fett Pride helmet (thanks again @Darth_Nickel ) and as I already have a few standard BF helmets, I thought of making a fully distressed 1313 helmet...

Here's our take on the Boba Fresh outfit from Mando Season 2 rendered as a three-piece outfit: Shirt is a raw-silk pull-over with oversized turtleneck collar and elastic cuffs Flak vest is a black duck cotton with detailed stitching and rear zippered closure Pants are raw-silk hakama...

Gorgeous paintjob! The distressing really sells it. I think I like the back even more than the front... it's just perfect. Do you have a screen grab of the guy you're basing this on?

It looks like his new gloves are just brown-fingered versions of Mando's gloves, so we're adding that color version as an offering to the Mando Gloves on our website: Here they are with black-painted Mando hand-plates: We're working on making his black shirt and pants now as well...

My wife is a saint. ;)
