I'm looking to start building and upgrading a Boba Fett costume, and now that I'm considered a grown adult and I have some modicum of disposable income, I am finally able to graduate past wishing and into the realm of serious planning and doing.
Since my budget is thin, however, I will be starting by scratchbuilding as much as I can from sintra/foam/whatever I can get my hands on for cheap.
I'm interested in knowing how accurate Wizardofflight's helmet template is to the screen helmet. If I remember correctly from when I read it oh so long ago, he modeled his measurements off a Don Post (I'm probably way off with this one)? The armour templates will do fine, because with a little creativity they can be shaped properly to at least closely resemble the screen-used armour. I'm wondering what level of modification to the plans will be necessary to get Wizardofflight's templates to come out with a shape close to that of the screen helmet, if any.
Thank you.
