Verne Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 After months and lots of tries,I finally finished my ROTJ helmet. I guess that I'm not to far from the Hero look (see the screen used helmet exposed at Comic Con last year) Machined mic tips from Russ (perfect), custom decals made with paint and balck adhesive vinyl (in silkscreened style), S shaped neck trim from TM. It's not the final lenses. I want to replace them with an accurate set made out of thick dark green acrylic and formed from an original ROTJ shape (if possible ^^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper18938 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sweet lid, Verne! What did you use to attach / back fill Russ' tips? I have a set just like Joe R's that Russ used as the original template for these. I took beige caps off of hotel shampoo bottles, put a slightly oversized screen on them, and pushed them into the tips from the back side. This held the screens in, and filled in the tip. I then attached screws to the inside of the tip w/ epoxy. They look just like yours. Just need a helmet to mount them in...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verne Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I put a piece of foam behind the mesh. Then I inserted a piece of expanded polystyrene with a screw inside and glued with hot glue. It's not a perfect work, but not visible and easy to remove ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runnriottt Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Great job making that lid look as bad as they did in the movie. No matter how I try, I cant get into ROTJ. Looks dead on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
