Jango Fett Helmets
|
| Check out the Boba Fett section to understand the different base helmets
which can be used to make a screen-accurate Jango Fett from Attack of the
Clones. |
|
|
 |
| Above, two shots from regular contributor
Well Paid Killer. His Jango is based around a standard 1995 Don Post Boba
Fett helmet (white interior), and then custom resprayed.
In fact this has now been completed and looks like
this.....................

Below a recent
acquisition of mine, a great new Jango Fett helmet and Costume which I got
from Chris TK-617, a good mate in the UK Garrison. Here are some recent
pics taken Sept 2005.
|
|
|
| I've had my Jango for a few years
but I recently "reconditioned" it by sanding and respraying all the Armour
parts ( not the jetpack as that was always in good condition) |
|
|
| Its a really nice set. Jango Fett is
an easier Costume than Boba but still requires something like 30 separate
pieces! |
|
|
| The helmets cool - Made of
Gel-Coated Fiberglass and sprayed with automotive paints. |
|
|
| Below some pics from a couple of
years ago when I first got it. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| The costume comes with the with Arena
jetpack and so I decided to give it a test drive in the Garden recently. I'm chuffed to bits with it and it looks like Halloween is sorted! |
|
|
| Below, another couple of shots of
it. The Helmet's a Fiberglass DP copy and the paint jobs excellent |
|
|
 |
Below, a nice looking Jango, I believe based on a Don
Post '95 Boba Fett mould, struck in Fibreglass |
|
|
 |

|
|
| Above, bit of a sad one this (not
the helmet). This Jango was produced by Joe and based on a '97 DP Boba
helmet (hence the flatter top). Joe spent two weeks sanding, painting, filling in the dent, hand
making the visor using acetate and some window tint. Only for some scumbag
to burgle his house and nick it! So if you see it come up on ebay then let Joe know on "thedarkside24@aol.com"
so we can arrange for a gang of pipe-wielding Stormies to go round the
culprits house and get medieval on his ass! |
am below courtesy of Lynn TXP 0369 a shot showing a size
comparison of his ESB MSH (Movie Size Helmet or Natty) Boba and
MH
()Mystery Helmet) Jango. |
|
|
| Below some new shots sent to me by
Mardon of his MLC (1 and 2) Helmets and Jetpack: |
| First up is Mirax H's excellent
Jango costume, based around MLC helmets and armor. She really has done an
excellent job on this costume and dressed like this you wouldn't want to
bump into her on a dark night!!!! |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Thanks again to Kristin for these
pics above and below. The shots above are a WIP on her helmet which is
stuffed with electronics and the rocket-firing jetpack. BTW dont worry,
Jango's not lost his/her had in the photo below! |
 |
 |
Finally below some new shots from Obi Sean of his MLC Helmet which
he's recently completed. |
|
|
| He's gone for a nice weathered look
which I like the look of. It gives the impression he's seen some action as
opposed to lazing around all day being "cloned". |
|
|
 |
|
|
And below a new
shot from him - Nice job guys! |
|
|
| Here's a great Jango helmet
scratch-built by Fettish Fiend from a fiberglass cast from a DP
Boba Fett Deluxe. in order to adapt it for the "Jango" look he's
made a number of modifications including building up mandibles and
narrowing visor to give a more squinted appearance. |
|
 |
 |
| In addition he's extended backside
and in order to give a more rounded dome he's given it some serious belt
sanding. The left ear piece has been extended and the side vertical
"stripes" (behind ear pieces) have been shortened. |
|
|
| Paint-wise, several coats of
automotive chrome/aluminum, then several coats of clear which were
carefully applied to prevent greying of the metallic base coat. The
two-tone blue colours were a custom mix. |
|
|
 |
| Finally the "chipping"
effect was achieved by masking with liquid frisket and the overall
weathered appearance was achieved using washes & airbrushing with
black & brown acrylics.
I have to say that he's done a great job on this as it looks extremely
accurate and this is mainly due to his subtle weathering technique, Nice
job Art! |
Here's some new shots (Nov '04) from Jonathan H's aka
"shunned/BH-8899" of his recently completed Jango Costume -
Looks superb! |
|
|
 |
|
|
| And finally as we all draw our
attention towards Revenge of the Sith, Vince has a couple of shots of what
he believes to be the most accurate Jango Fett from Attack of the
Clones....... |
|
 |
| Known as the
BKBT (Bigkidbiggertoys) helmet and is the proof from a limited run.
Many details overlooked on other Jango helmets have been addressed on this
helmet. The RF top is different as well as the keyhole area. The visor
is narrowed and has a more "squinted look" like the movie helmet. The
cheeks also have a different and sharper radius than Boba and the back is
longer. |
