Boba Fett Helmet Blueprints/Templates

[RafalFett]

While this thread isn't about the pepakura helmet, you can scratch build the dent using my helmet templates located here ==> The Rafal Works Helmet Templates or you can sculpt your own version using bondo.

I am new to this forum in that I have only registered today. However, I have visited this site often in the past and read some of the threads. During this summer I stumbled on to Wizard of Flight's Boba Fett Templates. For many years I havewanted to fabricate a decent costume. His hard work and generosity gave me the starting point. I began with a cardboard version to see how all of the pieces fit together. Then I moved on to a plastic/ fiberglass construct. I completed it a couple of weeks ago. Thank you very much Wizard of Flight for your templates. Thank you also to the rest of you who have contributed to this website. Here are some images of my finished helmet. Somethings I will correct in the future. It has no electronics. Maybe another modification in the future.

Thank you Ghostsoldier. I had a lot of fun and learned quite a bit about fiberglass and epoxy.

Kripps - Looks good so far. I see you couldn't wait to shoot some paint on it! What type of material are you using? I just ran by Lowes this morning and picked up a couple "House for Sale" signs that I think are sintra. Still haven't found a batting helmet yet, they may not be in season yet.

I found thrift stores to be a great source for used batting helmets. I actually live right next door to one and have almost limitless supply, and thank the force because I plan on making plenty of errors. No shipping charges either! And much less than $25. $1 for youth sizes and $2 for seniors (1 size fits all).

Can someone tell me how to make a custom Mando helmet, please? Thank you very much in advance.

I used WizardofFlight's templates. I have seen others use these as the starting point and make various changes to them to create the look they wanted.

Do a search here for "scratchbuilt helmets", and you'll find several works-in-progress and completed build threads here.

You can do it....I've built 6 so far.

I have printed off WOF's Awesome helmet templates and have cut the pieces out of .060 styrene. I will begin to glue the sections together tomorrow. I still am not to sure about what to do for the dome section yet. But hopefully all will go well for me.

just showing my first attempt to see where i came from. its ****** one on the right. I had rushed it for halloween...big mistake.

I am starting a Fett project and I am trying to decide if I want to build a helmet from scratch or purchase one and spend my efforts on other parts of the more "doable" parts of the costume. Thank you for the ground work you have done.

ugh.... I finally finished my first boba fett helmet... well, it was in the paper stages... and one night i had a "night fright" and i ran out of my room, when i went back i realized what my foot had made contact with, it was my boba fett helmet... sad day, it was crushed beyond repair and i am soon going to start again...

 

[Axel]

just a quick question, how tall is the finished helmet supposed to be? (excluding rangefinder)

 

[Pyrox]

As I am a complete newbie when it comes to the construction of templates (of any kind) would someone point me to a video or some other way of putting this template together?

 

[MandoMan531]

So glad I found this again. I made a bucket awhile back with these templates but it got destroyed along with the files in an accident. Starting this ASAP!

i have a very basic question regarding this template..

how do you bend the cheek parts? i mean, i will need something to push it against.. what did you use ?

Try using your good old fingers... that always works. Just don't push it too hard because the cardboard will ripple or crack.

i'm talking about sintra not cardboard =)

In this case you might use a heatgun to heat up the sintra piece then...

...of course with gloves on your hands! Or you can use a piece of tube (or bar from any material) and bend the cheek part agains it to achieve the curved form you need.
