Hunter
Star Wars the Old Republic MMO has no shortage of cool helmets, and another one of my favourites is the Mandalorian Hunter helmet. Ever since my first encounter with a group of hostile blue-helmeted Mandalorians on Dromund Kaas, I knew I wanted to make this helmet (and maybe armor too... one day).
The red helmet was the last resin cast out of an at-the-time 7-year old mold, the making of which I documented in a YouTube vide below.
This helmet was made in 2023 for a Star Wars fan film project called "Nihilus," which unfortunately never materialized. In the process of working on the helmet I designed and printed some new top vent covers, which gave me the inspiration to create the new and improved Hunter V2 helmet in 2025.
It weighs 1.095kg (2.41lb), and measures 20.6cm (8 1/8") from ear to ear, and 23cm (9") from visor at the tip of the nose to back. The T-visor has a dark grey-blue tint. Inside, the helmet is fully lined, with removable padding secured by Velcro for easy adjustment.
For the paint job, I started with a stone texture spray base, then airbrushed the main colors using Tamiya acrylics. Weathering was done with a mix of materials, including Army Painter washes, Vallejo pigments, real rust, and other products.
If you’re interested in how I do these kinds of textured paint jobs, check out the YouTube video explaining the process below. Thanks for looking!
