Its a scratch built,  with the top half being a skate helm ($1 garage sale before I even started thinking fett. )


The ears are stacked sintra then ground on a 10 inch grinding wheel.


The alum range stalk is 2 copper recs and a alum square center all gorillad together, to amke the right shape,  and be hallow aluminum.


The rest was made from polystyrene .60 or .80 then fiberglassed on the inside (didnt have time to do a mold).


Ill post a closer up pic.


I dont have the visor fully tightened down in these pics.  I loosten it to fit it onto my manequin (with a VERY large head.)


Workup Pics


Bottom is a don post I borrowed to look at to better understand the ears.  I noticed the cheeks flare on it,  but not on the film version so I posted a pic.



Thanks for all the comments.  My family (even my SON is totally dis-interested in my project.  Coming here is like going to a support group where people understand!
