Aug 14 2008How To: Make A Cardboard Boba Fett Helmet
There's an Instructables out there that teaches the do-it-yourselfer how to make their own Boba Fett helmet out of cardboard. You know, so you can mix universes and play PEW PEW with this kid in his backyard. Unfortunately, no matter how good your helmet turns out, you're still a 30-year old Trick-or-Treater. Which is just pathetic unless you score a couple full sized candy bars and some wax lips. And if that's the case, quick -- gimme a sheet, I'm coming with you! Also, hand over a freaking Snickers.
Hit the jump for a picture of the comfortable interior.

I have an easier way to do this:
1) buy a brass or steel Greek helmet off eBay (price varies), like this one:

or this one:

2) unscrew or saw the plume off, if any
3) saw the nose off
4) paint it with Boba Fett colors
Presto! The result is, thus, made of something better than cardboard!
