Maybe without the JJ Abrams flare?
Most painters don’t share their paint lists for obvious reasons but archive X is pretty straight forwar: Fett helmet color list

Read through the ESB section of this thread for more info ==> Boba Fett Helmet Consolidated Paint Up Threads.
Did you figure out how to use the stencils? I can’t find it in the threads either.

No I never. I gave it up as a bad job

Hi RafalFett ,
Firstly, thank you for all your work on this. It's wonderfully detailed, and very inspiring!
I have a helmet which I built to your v2 plans. I'm thinking of repainting it using the ultra paint templates.
I've run into a problem getting one of the templates to fit. This also affects the older paint templates.
The problem is with the back left panel. Your v2 helmet build templates give a top length measurement of 146mm, and a total height at the keyslots of 110.5mm, with the keyslot cutout being 101mm tall: and a measurement of 117.5 tall at the ear. Both the actual templates and the accompanying diagrams show these measurements.
I have faithfully built to these measurements... but the paint template for this area doesn't fit.
If I scale it so that the top length of the paint template is 146mm, the template is too tall. If I make it fit the keyslots or the ear area, it doesn't stretch from one side to the other - falling short at about 140mm.
It's just this one template which doesn't fit - the rest all match to within a millimeter or two, which is tolerable for painting.
Which one is more accurate please? I'm guessing it's the (newer) paint templates but it never hurts to check!

As KaanE said, the ultimate and ultra stencil are made to fit the lineage helmets. For my RWH v2 templates use these stencils for your build ==> Boba Fett ESB Helmet Stencils.

Thank you very much! Tattoo size for me!
I figured this was the reason you wanted them as separate files. Post some images with your ink when done.

Thank you for the reply, it was good to get a definitive answer.

The 1st post was updated with the modified back panels (only under the rear keyhole area) as discussed in this thread ==> ESB Helmet Damage.
All the corresponding files were updated.

Holy cow, you just gave me a great idea for a arm band tattoo! Why did I not think of that before? When my wife get's mad I'm going to blame "this dude KaanE on the internet"...Thank you very much! Tattoo size for me!

I've been painting a PP2 for the past couple of weeks using RafalFett templates and I continue to be in awe at the detail and accuracy all of the templates have. Even with the high resolution photos of the prepro helmet, I can't wrap my head around how he does it. These ultimate stencils are incredible and I'll be upgrading my ESB helmet soon as I have a lineage minutefett just waiting to be painted. Just a random post about the amazing contribution to the community that these stencils are. Someday, I'd love a documentary series on how you go through the process of creating them. If there's a thread, I will read it with the same interest I read the crazy thread here or on BFB about the original paints!

Here's how I did the old stencils before I changed to vector drawing (which is done the same way) ==> RafalFett's Boba Fett Helmet Template Project
