Thank you very much! If you believe in what you're doing, then there's no problem on how your helmet will be.
I was so thrilled on how my helmet looked, that I almost forget about the kill stripes... So, today, I hope this stripes will be painted by hand (again) and I may add more weathering as needed (specially on the rangefinder).
As I promised, I'm back with (I hope) my finished Boba Fett ESB style painted helmet.
I made the kill stripes by hand.
Then made the weathering on the rangefinder.
And finally, I added that T-like symbol on the right ear.
So, here is the helmet... again.
And this is me, wearing the finished helmet for the first time. Images made by my lovely wife.
It's like... whoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! It can't be described in words. It's like you see him, Boba Fett in person... without the jumpsuit and the rest of his gear... Amazing!
Here is a gif file about the making of the helmet.
Never say never... Today I finaly put a lining into the helmet. This was made from an unused pair of black jeans. Now my helmet fits perfectly on my head.
Any comments (constructive or critical) are welcome. Let's see what others thinks about this helmet.

You've talked about that! Those are PaperCraft models that I found on the Internet. This models can be downloaded for free from sites that you can find using Google or Yahoo! or whatever.
If the admin staff will allow, I will post some of this sites.
With screws. You can see it here Helmet padding and T-visor mount. If you can't find the desired length then cut the tip of the screw this way you won't ruin your helmet.
