Wasted Fett Jango helmet build by Fett 4 Real

[droidbait]

He got the dent when he fought kenobi in kamino. Or I think from the slave 1 bay door hitting him in the noggin?

I’ve seen some say it was when he was hit by the Reek in the arena, but who knows.

It's hard to nail down exactly when in the Kamino battle that he gets the dent, and part of that is the fault of the CG animators. I grabbed some quick screen shots...

First, the money shot of Jango that was in the first trailer. Right at the beginning of the battle he turns to see Obi-Wan coming. **Human/no dent**

Then, right after that is the CG model of Jango about to take flight. Here, he does have the dent **CG model/dent**

Next is when he fires the rocket from his pack, and the dent is still there...(notice the range finder aimed at his back too) **CG model/dent**

Yet, after he crash lands and loses his pistol he does not have the dent. (blurry pic, hard to get a clean shot of this as it is literally only a second or two long) **human/no dent**

But after he gets kicked by Obi-Wan and headbutts Obi-Wan the dent is present. It's also after he crashes to the ground losing the jetpack, but I can't get a clear shot of his helmet in between those two scenes. **human/dent**

So, it's in there that the costumers switched to the dented one.

Same stills I have also. But yeah CGI magik. Lol. ‍

The first time I saw the dent was just before he fired his rocket...

That helmet looks amazing! The blue really pops off the dome.

Not a massive Jango fan but this looks very well executed. Lovely.

Bucket looks beautiful! Really wanna pick one of these up from WF.
The dent is actually visible during the Kamino fight Im pretty sure, but it comes and goes depending on the shot/CGI. I think it might be visible when hes on the pillar about to fire the rocket, and maybe right before Kenobi kicks him. Been a while since ive watched AOTC. Both versions are correct though

Both the sculpture and the paint look great.
I'm in the process of making a Jango costume,
but this is a definite contender.

Wasted Fett’s quality is literally second to none. This is actually a B-Cast and it’s far superior to anything else on the market.

That's great.
I may choose to do that.
Thank you for sharing good information.

So rewatching the Kamino fight, I think the intent for the dent is from when he headbutts Kenobi. Its present on the actor and cgi in all scenes after that moment, albeit a bit hard to make out in the rain unless you slow it way down.
its definitely visible when hes up on the column too, but I think this is just a goof on the part of the cgi team using the same model for everything hoping nobody would notice lol

Picked up a companion for my helmet!

Interesting, I see it from when he's up on the column onwards, before he even fights Kenobi up close. Only not there during initial engagement and maybe in the CGI flying for the cable grab on Obi's hands. Definitely even on the real costume when he's sliding down the roof.

Great helmet build too!

Safe and home!
