Hi all!
I realized I never really posted much about the "secret project" I was working on for the TDH booth at Celebration Chicago. This was an idea that a few of us, including Fett4real, kicked around to show people how a raw helmet kit could be completed as a screen accurate replica.
The kit was supplied by Wasted Fett and is a standard FPH2, which he's been producing for a while now.
The kit arrived in its usual state, white gelcoat FG with resin accessories. If you've worked on one before, you know it's a high quality cast.
I began by prepping half of the helmet. This included cutting out half the visor and keyslot areas, and trimming half of the "skirt" at the bottom.
The intent was to keep the right half in the raw state, so I masked it off and shot primer. In these pics I unmasked everything between steps so you can see the stages more easily.
I hope some of you got to attend Celebration and got to visit the TDH booth!
