Hi!
Well, I'm almost done with the painting. Today I made the left ear decals by hand without any template (just a screen image reference).
I've done some retouch of the weathering on the dome.
Then I moved to the painting of the right ear. After I left it to dry a little, I added the right ear decals (also made by hand), then made the weathering on the right ear.
Then I painted the rangefinder.
After that, I moved to the rear of the helmet and made the base paint and the weathering.
So, here it is, my own Boba Fett helmet.
I know, this is not a movie accurate helmet, but I loved to make this helmet from scratch. It was my first try with this kind of craftmanship, and I guess it turned out really well.
I got to thank to Art Andrews for this brilliant forum where you get inspired by some great builders and painters. And I must to thank to Alan for his great templates and Skip for making the alternate Papekura helmet templates, many thanks to Rich D. for those great paints and decals, and last but not least, a big thanks to AntMan, who inspired me to start building my own Boba Fett helmet.
Until next time...
Respect!
