Jango Fett Helmet Quick Project

Ok so since I already molded the Boba Fett helmet I made I cast myself a copy and decided to convert it into a Jango Fett Helmet, using a blob of body filler I smoothed over the 'dent' on the front of the helmet, sanded off the greeblie on the cheek and modified the range finder assembly using my dremel and a little body filler again to neaten everything up.

Once that was done I gave the whole thing about 7 coats of filler primer and then buffed it with some 1500 grit sandpaper.

Next step was to coat the whole thing in chrome spray paint, the best finish I could find that was affordable and I think came out looking pretty decent :

Once the paint had been left to harden for a few days I masked off the cheeks and got to work painting the two shades of blue, the darker blue I used has a slight turquoise tinge to it which seemed close enough to the references I was working from.

Next I cut out a section of mesh and painted it the same colour as the cheeks

Once the paint was dry the mesh and visor were installed and secured with hot glue along with some padding to prevent any bobble head action when being worn.

Once that was done I added pinstripe tape to the helmet (I think this is how the movie stripes were added) which was an absolute pain to try and keep in a straight line. 

All finished !
