Hunter
Hey all!
So a few months ago I saw a youtube of someone building a helmet from scratch with paper, fibreglass and bondo....and i'm thinking....this is a thing? So I started my own project...of course, Boba Fett is my choice of choices as it's always been a thought of mine to own a Boba Fett helmet.
I started researching and found this awesome forum, downloaded Rafal Fett's templates, and went to work. I'm at the bondo stage....and have been for the last few weeks. trying to get that perfect shape, no low spots etc.... Mad respect to you all for your scratch builds! now I see how much work goes into it!
So a question to the scratch builders out there....do you try and go for the smoothest bucket, sanding it down to a baby's bottom finish? i'm starting to like the looks of some of the small imperfections i'm seeing in my bondo work...like some deep scratches, dings and a few 'pock' marks. I think it makes it look more realistic as i'm sure a real bounty hunter would probably get a little smashed up in his line of work. Thoughts?
