So it begins just received my ESB FPH2 Boba Fett helmet from the Wasted_Fett. I am super happy with his cast. I will be sharing pictures as I make progress through the build.
Dunno mate, first time I've seen it but visor installation is a real fiddly job so anything that makes it easier is a plus. These kits scream convenience.
No it is not pre drilled. I just place it in the Helmet. Line it up mark it with a silver sharpie. Drill a 1:16 pilot hole. Check for fit the drill a larger hole.
More progress from yesterday and today. Finished the Key Slots. Set screws in the ears. Mounted the ears. Installed magnets in the upper right ear and small nuts on the ear cap. And fitted the stalk.
Cool thanks I will have more progress soon. Will be watching yours. I have started another feed as well in the Boba Fett Costume feed. My progress on the whole kit.
I’m excited the Helmet prep is finished with wet sanding. Applied Dupli Color Adheasion promoter and Dupli Color primer. Got that idea from TheRealSuperJedi Now to let it dry and cure. Next is paint.
Airbrushed on a layer of 147 light grey. Following Terminal Fetters Wafer Thin ESB paint up. Makes most sense to me since this is my first helmet paint up. I had a little splatter on the front part of the dome but will buff out. I needed just a little more thinner. Adjusted the thinner and Got a good coat on the back panels which I am starting next.
So I finally got my back panel stencils sized. Followed some the Builders feed on sizing. Transferred the stencil and masked off the Base Grey sections with Humbrol liquid masking fluid. Following Terminal Fettlers last wafer thin paint up. Next is to paint the silver.
