Hi Guys,
I havent posted here in a long 'ol' time so many apologise's.

i have eventually found the time to work on my 97 Don Post Boba Helmet and try and get it to look alot better than the original paint job (sorry unable to post pics)

This helmet has a long history and so to cut a LONG STORY SHORT, the first thing that is noticeable is how narrow the helmet looks. I did read somewhere once how the more splayed out appearance as used in ESB can be achieved.

Ive begun to sand it down as there are about 3 coats of paint on it (dont ask) and ive removed the original visor to be replaced by a better one at a later date.

Last question..... i know most of you Air Brush your paint jobs all i can use a regular paint spray cans can results be achieved this way.

Many thanks Guys.

Simon
