Thank you! It's a 2011 Grand Sport with the 4LT package. I saved a long time to get it.Dont get over-spray on that yellow beater!Very cool
Trust me I'm very careful not to be anywhere near it when painting.

I finished the major paint work today. I still need to do the fine details.
So far so good, unless someone sees something I need to fix.
I taped the visor in place and temporarily attached the ears and range finder. I just had to see what it was going to look like (almost finished).

Love the guitar stand doubling as a helmet stand! Love the helmet interior as well. VERY clean.

Very nice on the liner install. Excellent job on the whole thing actually.
(I use a guitar stand for my helmets too)

Still need to do the fine details on the helmet. Probably start on that tomorrow.
WhiteShadow, do you have an insert for the cheeks? Maybe something in the works?

Since I consider the helmet finished at this point, I decided it needed a true stand instead of a paper towel roll. I was inspired by
jhfagan stands he built.
It came in just under $10. All parts from Lowes.
The 3 main parts are:
Outdoor yard drain $4.08
Slip Joint Extension Tube $4.10
Water pipe flange $0.98
Once all glued together I sprayed it primer with the intention of painting it another color, but once I got to see it with the helmet I liked it so much I decided to leave it grey.
I did hit it with a clear coat to protect from scratches although damage would be fitting for Fett.
The top is a piece of fleece spray glued on.

That stand config looks familiar?
I agree, the plain grey kinda works!
Did one for my BS Vader ( which is now on my EFX ANH -not shown yet) and one for my brothers' "Sandman" Boushh.
Am in process making one for my EFX Trooper and EFX Fett, and one for another special helm I've got coming in soon!
They make GREAT stands! : )
I say again...your ROTJ helm looks 'effing great!

Sorry for the delayed update. Been crazy busy with other projects.
I weathered all of the soft parts and did a test fit over the weekend. I need to take in the thighs on the flight suit, add velcro to the ammo belt so it stops sliding down, adjust the jet pack harness to stop digging into my kidneys and replace the pin backs holding the armor to the vest with something more permanent. They pop off very easy.
My friend is a retired pro photographer and offered to do a photo shoot for my 501st submission Tuesday. This is really exciting. I'm almost finished!!!
