So I'm nearing completion on my Boba (kinda) helmet and looking on to Sabine Wren. I haven't seen many tutorials or even templates out there and was wondering if anyone had anything like antmans Boba build? I've seen a YouTube tutorial on how to make one from EVA foam, but having just built a...

Thanks for the replies, the tooth paste method actually makes sense now. I've seen someone use this kind of method before, but they never really explained it on their post. I now realise that I made the mistake in using a white primer when in fact I should have used a silver. Looks like I'm...
