Topic: Anybody have a Fett helmet?

If anyone has a Fett helmet, post pics :D

I have the .45 scale riddel helmet but im pretty sure your asking for real size ones correct?

Yeah, I've got one.  It cost me 80 bucks on ebay, and it's good, hard plastic.  It's not that really flimsy paper thin stuff.  However, I was a jackass and painted over it.  So now it's silver with blue tape, and I don't know what colors to paint it.  Any suggestions?

Yup, I just finished my helmet last night, Go to Wal-Mart and get Rustoleum Spuce green fo the main color, Krylon Hunter Green fo the cheek pieces, Krylon Ruddy Brown Primer for around the visor and the rear vents (wich I cut mine out for ventalation), Rustoleum Aluminum, Walmart brand Gold and flat Black. You might want to get two cans of the Spruce green, and one can of everything else.  Then go to the modeling section and get Testors model paint in White, Black and Silver, It works alot better if you get enamel paint, and make sure you get some paint thinner and several modeling brushes. I can walk you through the steps if you want me to, or if you want to see some pics of my helmet, let me know. And yes, That said Ruddy Brown Primer. Oh, and make sure you get 2 cans of Krylon Matte finish, It takes away the Glossy sheen and makes it look better. If you can't find it, ask somone.

No
I wish I did though.

I wish a lot of things...
Maybe one day though...

On the Plus side Lord Revan's Boba Helmet sounds pretty darn good.

I'll take some pictures and post them.

I hope it is as good as I imagine it to be.

Does anyone know how to post pics? If so, tell me how

You can use the edit button.

I still can't figure it out.

Look at the bottom right hand corner of your posts.

He was talking about the fact that you did a double post.
Its spam.

i wish i had a helmet. im building my own jetpack though. its the one boba uses in rotj and jango in aotc against kenobi. its goin bad so far because when i made the exhaust vents i accidently left them in the balcony and it rained so i lost them. they were so good too.....so far i just have the straps and the back blue part of it where everything else goes on top of it. i hope to finish it by next halloween though.

I wish I could have this!

Awhile back BFFC Admin turned me on to the image of this prototype coming out from MASTER REPLICAS...
Boba Fett's helmet
As far as I know, MR hasn't announced a release date yet. Looks pretty nice, doesn't it? I'm sure it will be made of solid metal (probably aluminum, or maybe stainless steel), with a positionable antenna, as well as secure head-straps and comfortable padding inside. I've bought some of their Lightsaber replicas recently and these guys spared no expense in detail, I can assure you.
I also spared no expense in buying them... this helmet will be expensive, of that I have no doubt.

ah that helmet is of great quality. i hope they make one of jango too. after all, i still dont know which fett i like better.

The only helmets I have are the heavy PVC Jango Fett and Boba Fett helmets.  You have to modify them, though, if you want to wear them.  No head bands in them at all.  Just the open helmet mold.

got any pics?

Nope, sorry.  I'll take new pics of everything, once I move into my new place and have everything set up.  I'll have more room to be a little more creative this time around, instead of a small little apartment.  Moving is a pain in the butt, but I have to go where the Air Force sends me, you know?  At least it finally got me off my duff, and looking for a bigger place.

Well I made a fett helmet!
Its made of cardboard and paper mache (spelling?)
I don't have a visor though :(
I will post pics soon

Yes, I do have a helmet.  It needs some work,but I got it on eBay for around $20 (that's with shipping) I think I just lucked out on it.

Not the best pic, but that's what I have...I do plan on possibly working on it.  I like your suggestions for colors, Lord Revan.
If Master Replicas is coming out with a Fett helmet, that is going to be the best one on the market for sure!

Finnally! Here's a pic of my helmet:

I've done a more to it since that was taken, I'll try to get a newer picture soon.

Not bad work on that so far!! I like the armor too :D

I don't have a helmet but I'm working on a blastech E-11, I have to go shopping for parts though.

Nice helmet Lord Revan. How much did that end up costing you?

I've got a Don Post '97 that I got for free b/c it had no rangefinder antenna and a cracked visor.  I could just make a rangefinder and replace the visor, but I know you can buy good kits that have movie-accurate parts in them, and you're supposed to cut the visor out and reshape the helmet b/c its too wide.  Also, being the '97 and not the '95, its sorta flat-topped, so I may wanna try to add some material to the top then sand it into the proper dome shape.  I'm trying to wait until I can do it right, vs. just getting little things done so I can get it off my chest, haha.

I have a helmet, it's molded plastic and you can't see out of it, but it freaks the cat out if you wear it. Probably would scare the neighbors as well.

A month or so ago, the old man confessed to me that if we're going to Dragon Con, it has to be in Mandalorian armor. I believe I'd just walked into my kitchen after coming home from a long day at the office. No "hi dear, how was your day." Just that fierce declaration, as if I would say "no way. Totally out of the question. I will NOT have mandalorian armor in MY house." I'm not sure where he's going with this, but he's checking out the Dented Helmet so I have to think he's serious.

Wow Ursula!  I would be so happy to hear my husband say that to me LOL  Enjoy putting your costumes together and have fun at DragonCon!

Heres my DP 97: ( can you guess where the pic was taken?  )

and a slightly better view of the side.

Revan: Nice bucket mate :D

Was the first picture taken at the set of Tatooine?  Does such a place even exist?

Yep! Its the hotel Sidi Driss in Tunisia, it was the location used for the Lars homestead ( Lukes home in the ground).

Remember the famous Meal scene with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru / Well the weird painting on the ceiling is still there.

Thats totally sweet.  What an ingenious idea.  I wonder if they made the hobbit holes in LOTR in Zealand a hotel.

This is all something else! You must travel alot Carbnitekid.

I think it's blasphemous. To build a hotel where just anyone can come in and do anything to such a special place is awful. Not to mention the destruction they had to have done to it in order to transform it into a hotel is unbelievable.

You misunderstand my friend .

These places have been the traditional homes of the Berber tribes in Tunisia for many hundreds of years.
Lucas merely " borrowed" the architecture for his movies.  :

Read the last line of the wikipedia entry closely! ;)

Sharra:-  I've done a bit.  Besides I live in the UK so its just a couple of hours on a plane to Tunisia.

You can't trust wikis as far as you can throw them.

He's probably saying that from personal experiences as well.

Wow CKID those are great pics and VERY nice costume!!  To be able to travel like that must be nice.

Yes, I'am.

And for the rest of you doubters  :P

Those were very interesting sites!  I really liked learning more about the troglodyte culture in Tunisia.  Looks like somewhere I'd like to visit, not just for the Star Wars connection.

Its a great country, and despite what some sites may say the natives are very freindly. Its not just Sta Wars that was filmed there either. Indiana Jones was made there as was The English Patient and The Life of Brian ( tunisia that is, not Matmata ) :)

If anyone wants any more pics just drop me a PM :)

I got my new helm FINALLY! :D :D :D

It's not the best fit sadly, the dome needs to be a little deeper for my fat forehead.......but oh well, it's a start.

Will try to post pics before the week is out

Ive a don post and a Altman and the ridell mini !

go do some running to slim off your forehead :D j/k

i just looked at all those sites about the Lars homestead and stuff. interesting to learn these things about how some of the best films in history were made.
