Mando Helmet and Greeblies

After a busy Saturday i am about to have finished the helmet and the greeblies except the tinted visor.
Here are some pics;

i made a silicone mold to get the r2d2 coin slots in resin. they will be applied to the rear of the helmet.


in the end it looked like this:

The (almost finished) helmet; the green has been applied too. i had to mask it with tape and added then again some toothpaste:



 i washed off the toothpaste and there it is:


Now on to the visor!
Therefore I visited my brother-in-law; he had some Plexiglass in 2 mm thickness for me.



Just some heating and cutting to get it bended to fit the helmet shape.

Update Mando Helmet

 Yesterday I found some time to do the last bondo works. next is the first layer of grey primer.

Well, the Mando helmet has now two layers of grey Primer on it.


 one in between step hadn´t been photographed; the base coat with silver metallic.

Now on to the greeblies!
Again some styrene sheets in 4 mm thickness and Ali parts will help me to get this quickly done too!!
Here you can see the first greeblie part hold to the helmet:


made out of styrene and aluminum.
and here is a shot of the already red painted helmet (with toothpaste under it for the used and scratchy look)
