Custom Mandalorian Helmet from a Rubies Boba Fett
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- A few years back I took a crack at repainting a Rubies Boba Fett helmet as a custom Mandalorian. Surely I've learned some new tricks since then, says I, so why not try something new? And that's just what I did!
EDIT: I've been calling it Hasbro this whole time but apparently it's a Rubies, as seen at
www.rubies.com...
Apologies all around!

No Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio this week but I still love you buddy! This week was more westerny because .. the Mandalorian.
Take my like literally for the voice over work, and calling your helmet your "lid." And the music too.
Cheers!
Nice as the Black Series helmets are, I still prefer these Rubies for custom buckets.
Pretty sic, love the radio voice
Thanks!
Watched this video twice now and probably will again and again it just feels right. Also I’m doing a custom Mando and I need to fill in the range finder area as well and your way … well this is the way … I love your vids and the voice and music fantastic work.
Thanks Daxx!
Your mando builds are my porn at this point 😂 😂 I'm gonna be doing a rubies boba helmet soon so I'm binging everything. Yours are by far the best I've found so thank you! 👍🙏
Learned some new tricks, says you. I think I sense an epic build on the way, says I! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
You got skills, man. Super cool. Great call switching to that orange color. It's perfect.
Thank you! Cheers!
I had bought the rubies Jango helm and this vid helped me design it to my liking
I use patroleum jelly for the layered damage. It wipes off easier and if you remove the last layer while it's still slightly tacky, it gives it a more dirty and weathered look. I have images on my community tab. I used the same Rubies helmet.
Hi. You are the "Second Hand Style King ".....👍👍👍👍👍
That’s dope
Really 👌
Thanks man!
Bad ass videos. Keep them coming!
great video, this'll be a big help when i'm painting up my first bucket. your voiceover sounds awesome, too!
Awesome work! Just got my Proto Boba helmet and gonna use this technique to paint and weather it... this is the way!
Thanks! I’ve been eyeing that Prototype too. How’s it looking?
What a fantastic vid I’m so glad I found this!!
Thanks!
Man, really digging the new audio.
Thanks! A good soundtrack has to fit the project, I think. Can't all be metal.
Impressive!

Dude! Your helmet looks EPIC!
Awesome job!!!
Thanks!
Nice job!
Thanks man! I appreciate the support
THAT’S A LOT OF DAMAGE!!!!!!!!
Hi! Did you mix your own grey tone? I want it to look like yours! Dont like the plain silver/chrome..
Nope! Pretty sure that is a Rustoleum Universal/All-surface metallic
How did you make the different colors of styles to choose from on beginning
Photoshop or GIMP. Gimp is like free photoshop
11:15 where did you get that tinting material? Please tell me
I replaced the clear visor altogether. You can break the original apart and file/sand down the edges until they're flush and smooth. Then you take a face shield replacement like the "Sellstrom Replacement Window for 390 Series Safety Face Shields, Uncoated Acetate, Dark Green Tint" on Amazon and cut it down to the T shape. I used some paper to trace a template and slowly removed more and more of the new visor until it fits. I used screws to attach mine but other people have different methods. Over at Galactic Armory channel (which is an amazing resource if you haven't been) I think he uses glues and an adhesive putty like QuikSteel.
I just emailed ruby but In case I’m out of luck do you know where I can get the side piece opposite of the range finder? I opened the box (it was used/damaged I knew that) and when I pulled it out that piece is gone
Did you consider using fiberglass to reinforce it? I heard that’s popular for these buckets. If you do please film the process. Also awesome work
Thanks! I haven’t but I can see how that would be handy if you were going to troop in the helmet. They’re not as rigid as the black series version for sure.
@@daveofalltrades805 i thought black series was stronger than these.
Love the vidz. I don't get the hate for Rubies lids from some. I got a few fairly cheap and the main thing for me is they fit my head ! Sure Black Series looks great but what if it's too small ?
Thanks! And I agree. Any mass market product is gonna have aspects you don’t like, and some qualities that you do. Did you see in the Mando season 2 behind the scenes, Robert Rodriguez has the Rubies on one of his boys - for his previs of the Boba Fett beast-mode sequence. How cool is that

Cool! Welcome :D
Really want to do this for myself but can't seem to source one in the UK shipping is roughly the cost of the helmet from Rubies. Any ideas on where I can get a similar quality bucket for around the same price £60?
Hmm. You’re right, it’s scarce over there! I don’t see anything great for Boba style but if you look on Amazon for “hard Mandalorian helmet” there’s one with good reviews. I don’t have one and so haven’t tried any modifications out on it, but it’s the only thing I see in that range. Otherwise the Black Series Prototype Boba is more expensive but a great looking lid. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G1J7TBW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_8fAXFb0YC4BNZ
What did you use to fill in the range finder and the dents
Most likely bondo also referee to as auto filler
Bondo seems to be the filler of choice by most other makers I’ve seen - but I had some Plastic Wood wood filler on hand so I used that. For the range finder I jammed some shreds of paper in the cavity so I wouldn’t need to fill the entire thing with the wood filler.
I've been searching across the internet and can't find anyone that has an answer. perhaps you can help me... I'm looking to get into costuming, but have a large head. what is the circumference of the inner part of the helmet for the rubies deluxe Fett? my head is 60 cm/ 24 inches..... can you help please.
It’s tough to say exactly with pads and what not, but forcing a tape under them, just over the visor/brim, I measured 27”. It’s gonna be close. Plus you gotta watch out for your nose hitting the visor
@@daveofalltrades805 thanks. great vids by the way.
Thanks! Cheers
looks great man! What is the helmet made out of?
It's a rigid plastic but it is a little thin. I can't find any specifics on rubies.com or the amazon listing I bought it from
what kind of masking fluid did you use
It's called "incredible white mask" liquid frisket by Grafix. I got it off amazon
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00139SZU4/
Looks like jodo kast
Kinda does, huh.
You should of made a mandalorian helmet
Should I have? Stay tuned…
Can someone please explain to me how to take this thing apart without breaking it.
There’s clips hidden under the ear caps. It can be a little fiddly but if you get a lever under the edge and wiggle around you should be able to locate them. Once you know where they’re at you kind of grit your teeth and hope they don’t snap. If you snap them you can try to repair them or just bypass and glue the ears back in when you’re ready.
@@daveofalltrades805 Could you reduce the helmet size. Mine I bought from ebay is too big. I could remove .5 inches from each side might look better. my shoulders are 17 inch across and the helmet is 10 inch. I heard the helmet should be half the size of shoulders. How would you recommend to tackle this and glue it back.
@@frederickamartinez I would think on the back, on either side of the vent. Half an inch out on each side, cut out a triangle up to where the vent meets the brim. Then compress the whole thing with some string or a belt and superglue it a lot. Or i suppose you could pad out your shoulder pauldrons a little to increase that size. Seems easier
