Actually I found it in your description the white plastic flat bar. And I was wondering how it was shaped and secured to the dome?

Did you have to shave down any part of the left or right side of the original dome close to the white plastic strip after installing it before adding filler to each side if that makes sense? Because on the video, I can see where you added filler to both sides of the plastic white strip.

@@lordvader823 Hi. Yes, I sanded down the original plastic dome almost completely on the sides and also made it flat on the top where the white plastic strip is glued. I’ve used a plastic filler as a glue but both surfaces must be sanded with 40 grit sandpaper for better grip. It is not shown on this video but when the helmet shape was finished you have to cut off the original dome holder from the mask and to reattach it correctly. Original Rubies dome is not in the correct position. Use a pictures or screenshots from the movie to find where exactly the dome must be. On my second video the dome and the mask are in the correct positions

​@angeltat2752 okay thank you I appreciate it that alot. 🙂

Thanks Max. For the black you can use any automotive spray gloss paint. For the grey I used a BMW Mineral metallic Grey Spray Paint. For me personally this grey was the closest one to the reference pictures of the original ESB helmet. As you can see on description the high gloss finish is clear automotive varnish, sanded between layers.

@@angeltat2752 thank you so much my dude and keep up the incredible work👍🏻

Hi. This was a hobby project and unfortunately I don’t have time to make another one. I can answer any questions if you decide to make it by yourself.

@@angeltat2752 well then I was wondering do you think you might want to sell it and Maybe in the near future. And if so how much?

Thanks man. The mesh actually is not dark. Check this video at 0.39 with the original ESB helmet kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4GZY5SwbcmYgNk and also kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGHMeZWwlJydhdE at 1.07

@@angeltat2752 Thank you.. Maybe they used different masks in ESB and RotJ? My ESB helmets have a black and and a dark grey mesh.. In the Order of the 501st Legion stand " Large, black, diamond-shaped mesh is inset in both vents; additional black screen backing may be used to conceal the wearer’s face further." Thx..

@@fenris9262 You're right. Masks may vary. For this particular project, I used high-res photos from the Bonhams ESB screen used Vader costume auction as a template where the diamond-shaped mesh is natural steel. When Brian Muir (the original Vader sculptor) saw the helmet he didn't say anything about the mesh, he just said that the indentation on the dome between the eyes is not correct for an ESB but rather a ROTJ. Anyway, I'll double-check this and making the mesh darker will take 5 min :) Thank you

@@angeltat2752 My first helmet was a Don Post Classic Action helmet, I also used a silver mesh there.. Then I got myself a cast of an ESB helmet, so I got a grille from Fenrivox.,,It was dark grey,,,I thought it worked better.. My last ESB helmet was from Anovos.. the mesh is black there.. The ANH helmets are silver. I got the Rubies helmet too. Supposed to be a RotS helmet.. I think it's a Don Post cast... Thx

Of course you can ask

@@angeltat2752 how did ypu get the nose ridge to the right shape? How did you know how far to move back the eye ridge? What putty or materials in general did u use?

Also how did u fix the dome mount?

@@TisDansk I made all proportions based on reference photos. I found very high resolution pictures of a helmet used in the movie. The photos are from the auction company that sold it and the helmet is visible from all sides. I imported the photos into Corel Draw, sized them according to Rubies reference points, so I could have any size of the original helmet. I am a professional artist and studied sculpture which helped me build it. All materials used in the project are described in the video description. I hope I helped. I'll try to find the link to the pictures and if it still exists I'll put it in the video description. The most difficult thing was to correctly orient the dome in relation to the face mask. In this video, the helmet is not yet finished and is not properly oriented. I made screenshots from the movie where the helmet is visible right on the left and right sides. So I saw the distance between the dome and the mask, as well as the slopes of the dome in relation to the cheeks and the nose of the face mask. I will upload a video of the completed helmet soon. I met Brian Muir (the original Vader sculptor) in person a week ago and he saw the helmet. There was only one small remark about the shape of the dome in the central frontal part. He said it was a little rounder than it should be in the Empire Strikes Back helmet.

@@TisDansk The link is already in description www.therpf.com/forums/threads/original-screen-worn-a-new-hope-vader-gloves-for-auction.301287/

Automotive spray paint and clear lacquer spray. Check the description for more details.

@@angeltat2752 thank you so much, I was trying to find the material used to thicker the helmet edges but not sure what it is.

@@angeltat2752 is th Davids ISOPON Aluminium Mesh 711606?

@@logancure1703 no problem. Check the description of the video. Most of used materials are there.

@@angeltat2752 Thanks man ! ^_^

Thank you! Appreciate this, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to start this again :) It’s a lot of dust and black plastic chips haha. I’m sure you can do it by your self. If you have any questions (materials, technics, pictures and drawings, measurements etc) I’ll be more than happy to help.

@@angeltat2752 thanks man! I’ll be sure to ask for measurements

It's a BMW Mineral Grey metallic spray
