All of them of course!  :lol:  It is my goal to have 1 representation of each version of Boba's helmet, from concept through ROTJ.


UPDATE:  December 24th, 2011


Happy Christmas Eve!  I hope that Boba Clause will bring all the good Mandos lots of bounty tomorrow.  ;)


I've got the bucket in primer.  All the cutting and sanding is done on the visor area and the 3 locations for the insert pieces.

I used a "filler primer" for my basecoat, just to level things out nicely and see what else needs attention.  It did reveal some

small spots here and there that will need a dab of filler.  No big deal.  Here's the helmet as of this afternoon.

Jason really did a great job capturing the feel of the McQ sketch.

The detailing on the back of the helmet is great!

The cutout over the left ear is where an insert part will go.  After everything is primed/sanded, I'll epoxy

the detail part in place.  Same with the 2 circles on the lower cheeks.

In this last helmet shot, you can see where Jason wrote the maker's info on the inside.  Mine is #8.

Here are the accessories that came with the kit.

Closer view of the 3 RF parts.  The detail piece goes on the right side of the RF topper.

Finally, here are the 3 other detail pieces.  The rectangular part goes over the left ear, and the

two circular parts are inserts for the lower cheeks.  The flanges around the parts are to set them at

the correct depth, making them level with the helmet surface.

Next will be round 2 of filling and priming.  I anticipate at least one more round to make sure everything

is as smooth as I can get it for that white gloss coat.


Thanks for looking!
