TKLee Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I was browsing Ebay the other week and saw that Joe R was selling a damaged styrene pull from the ROTJ helmets that he and CFO done. This one was used by his kids and had seen better days - it looks like it was one of the drums at the end of ROTJ. Always loved the Joe R / CFO helmet so I decided to buy it, with the idea of it being my first ever repair job / rebuild. Ive filled all holes, cracks etc sanded and primed the helmet. Ive dropped a major doodoo on a certain part but thankfully ive rectified it. Stay tuned for a beginners attempt at rebuilding this lovely helmet.

TKLee Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 So I've finished this. I wanted to go the Endor weathered style as it's what I remember fondly when I saw it in 1983. After some advice from Joe, I opened up the eyes which looks better. Ears....bloody he'll....Ears!!! Had a job getting these right . Thanks to Paul for those and the lenses. All in £100 for a CFO Jedi Stormie and I'm so happy. ESB next!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBox Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Very nice job! I like seeing these types of restoration. May I ask how you repaired it? Did you use fiberglass, and such? Thanks. Looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FN1313[TK] Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 That's really cool! Good work as well in your restoration/creation! Thanks for sharing it with us as well. I love seeing builds come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well done. That didn’t look an easy task. CFO ears would have been an easy fit but there you go. Looks great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
