Got my Boba Fett Helmet

So here it is in all it's glory. It's a fiberglass cast, with all the appropriate weathering. The Range Finder, stalk and mount are not attached, but since I plan to mod this, I guess it's a good thing. I've never worked with fiberglass before so I think this will take a bit of getting used to. It needs to be totally sanded, primered and repainted. I have to find the right shade of blue, preferably glossy and metallic, silver and red. I'm thinking about removing the ear stalks from the toy Optimus Prime helmet and mounting them on the Fett helmet, but I'm not sure how that will look, or how the two materials will mesh together. I guess I have to work on sketches and photos...
