Riddell Fett helmet

[jikawa]

So i recently got myself a nice Riddell Fett helmet. Being a Jango fan, i am actually thinking of repainting it into a Jango.
Should i do it? Cool or lame?
?
?

Welcome to the dented helmet!

Maybe show us a picture of the fett helmet u got. then we might be able to decide if u should paint it or not.

Hey Jikawa!
welcome over.

Welcome. You'd ruin a cool Boba..
But if you like Jango and can do a good paintjob, go for it.

I saw one that got painted as Jango a while ago, it looked cool, but I think it looks nicer as Boba IMO.

Hey Jikawa!

Howdy slave1pilot!

Well, i am having very sore thumbs from dismantling the helmet but i finally did it!!
Now its time to shop for the correct color tones at the automobile spray paint section..

Heres a pic of my progress.
Removed the T visor!

I did one as a Jango. It did not turn out bad. It was fun to do.

I can't score a mini helmet on Ebay as they are going for nutso prices and guys here are tearing them apart and repainting them as Jangos.... :cry

So what kind of paint should i use? Automobile paints?

Yeah, I had a really hard time getting mine as well.
I ended up getting one in a "lot" purchase.
It had the Boba, the Vader, & the Stormtrooper all together.
It was $238 shipped.
A pretty good deal I thought.
The stormies get a little pricey

Has anyone ever casted one of these and sold kits?

 

[nicklambo]

Here is mine!

Sorry the pic is small....it's in the left cabinet between Vader and C3PO.

Has anyone ever casted one of these and sold kits?

Yes, but right now you can pick one up on ebay cheaper that it would cost to cast one up.
