Boba Fett ESB Helmet Ultra Stencils

[RafalFett]

Five months in the making and now I can call these done. let me know if you see some errors or misplaced scratches.

There are color variations on most areas, mostly because one of the main colors was painted over an existing color (some of these are touch-ups to hide or tone down the silver weathering), thus a new shade had enrichened an already perfect paint job:


Red Face and Rear Keyhole:


Back Panels:



Upper and Lower Cheeks:


Dome:


Ears and Rangefinder Stalk:


The separation files are located at the bottom of this post.

I printed the stencils on a glossy vinyl, and while ideally you should wait at least 24/48 hours until the ink fully cures, I was eager to see how these will look on my RS helmet. A better variant would be to print on a matte vinyl instead of glossy, but also to pre-convert the files from RGB to CMYK, because most printer don't handle well the conversion:

Left printed on matte vinyl pre-converted to CMYK and on the right printed on glossy vinyl with the conversion made by the printer's program.

And here are the photos of the helmet and its parts:


After I took these photos I stripped down the helmet and cleaned it from the glue residues.

You can see some artefacts around the misted areas, but these were due to how sometimes files converted to PDFs then reconverted to be printed work:


But on the pre-converted files those artefacts are gone:

Your work here is superb. There is no need for a review of these anymore, ever.

Thanks, KaanE! Maybe I will change the stencils if we ever got some hi-res photos of the ESB photo shoots and notice some elements that were there during filming.
