Hey, it's been a long time since I added to this thread. Since my build is back under way, I thought I'd revive it share some progress! My helmet is getting very close to being finished. Here's a pic... There's a separate thread for that, if you want to check that out. Just waiting on some...

Just came across your build, and I will definitely be using it for inspiration! This is awesome

I hear ya! But I'd be very shocked now if anything ever arrived But I'm excited to get back into it now. Round 2 haha

Sorry everyone for bringing this back up again, but I left these forums until only recently so I have only just come across this thread. But I need to add to it, for myself. After realizing I wouldn't see any of the items I paid for, the idea of continuing my Fett build filled me with anxiety...

Thank you! I bought the kit from Sandman (Todd) from the RPF. I think his kits are regarded as up there with the best. I don't have a lot of experience with these sort of kits, but I found it to be fantastic quality, and pretty easy to put together. From memory, I think it was close to the...

Finally finished the ears and attached them. There's a couple of things I want to tidy up on them, paint-wise, but pretty happy with them otherwise. I attached each piece with a couple of screws and they feel pretty sturdy. Now I just have to paint and attach the rangefinder and try and...

Looking really good! I had the same thing with the dark layer of the back panels where I went back to make it darker too! Nice work!

I'm definitely no expert on all the form details, but this paint up looks fantastic to me! Great attention to detail. Will also be keeping an eye on your other projects!

Wow, thanks so much for your words! Haha yeah, I guess I consider myself a 'novice' experience-wise! This is my first Boba Fett helmet, and 2nd overall project like this (my first was a Boushh helmet). It really helps that this is such an experienced and supportive community though! Thanks again

Thank you!

Here's a little bit more progress... I've made a start on the ear pieces, just have to add in those arches, stripes, and logos etc. I need to get a visor from somewhere too! Does anyone have any recommendations? I live in Australia, and getting things down here from the US is mega...

Thanks so much! :-)

Wow, so it's been like 5 years since I've been on here! Unfortunately I lost a bit of passion for the hobby after losing $1000 to Fettpride for a bunch of stuff I've realised I will never see. But I'll try not to go into that here... Having some free time during the covid lockdown, I decided...

Thank you so much! :-)

Thank you! Yes most of it has been done with layering, with some of the smaller details painted on top. That hybrid method sounds like a good way to me :-)
