Fettacini
Hunter
Hello everyone, my name is Hoyt. I have been building props and models for the better part of 25 years( that doesn't mean I'm good at it though lol).
Like everyone here i have always loved Boba Fett. So after lurking for a while I decided to take the plunge and to shake the dust off I decided to take one of my old Hasbro helmets( you all know the one, the huge visor and sound fx version) and mod it to be a Droids / holiday version.
I feel that the slightly cartoony dimensions really lend themselves to doing this and this will be a fun way to start slapping some paint around and familiarize myself with the general shapes and shading of the Boba Bucket.
Now, a little back ground, I like most of yall started collecting as a child, I had wonderful parents who supported my hobby and model building and before I was even 13 I had amassed a large collection of vintage figures, don post helmets and all sorts of cool stuff. When I was 17 I lost my entire collection when our house flooded.
This taught me a valuable lesson. I had everything I ever wanted as a child( I was blessed and lucky, and I didn't know it) and then it was all destroyed, leading me to a much needed life lesson about what it really important. So as an adult I have started rebuilding my collection, using my painting and building skills to fund my hobby.
Anyways, that just gives you an idea of where I am at, im thankful to be doing any of this, and I am grateful for all of you wonderful people who are here supporting and informing us( hobbyist).
So without further delay, let's start turning this old Hasbro helmet into a neat display helmet.
