How to not build a Mando

[PhantomBlade]

So, Wolf is absolutely amazing and he gave me a two piece Boba helmet today.



Now it's just a matter of deciding whether to swap to this one, or continue my scratch build. Because there's a crap tonne of work to be done on this Boba bucket to make it approvable.

Cheek pieces need moving up to narrow the visor. Can't just add sintra on top of the cheek pieces as that puts the 'face' of the helmet (horizontal bits right under the visor) out of proportion. So then I'd have to add extra to the bottom to bring it back into line with the rest of the helmet. Then I have to fill in every gap and seam. And the dent (Boba is the only one allowed with the dent where it is) and I'd need to replace or at least darken the visor. And put a backing on the key slots at the back. Etc etc etc.

So really, by the time i've done all the alterations, I might as well finish my other helmet. But this will make a handy spare.
