Back in early June of 2016 I went on the Artyfakes training course, where you spend 2 days learning how to work with Plastazote foam and latex and get to make anything you want. With Captain America: Civil War soon to be released in cinemas I wanted to do something related to that, and as I was still in a hype about Star Wars: The Force Awakens I decided to do a mashup. A mashup that over the course of the weekend became known as "Captain Iron Fett!"

​

The helmet is based off of the bounty hunter Boba Fett, and is made of 8mm LD45 Plastazote foam. I used 2mm foam to add details on the Captain America half of the helmet and used pigmented latex to paint the two halves. I then cut out a piece of blue perspex for the visor and, using a heat gun, bent it into shape and glued in place. The antenna looking thing is (in the films) a viewfinder that comes down over Fett's eye. Mine doesn't move and is instead just made of foam and attached to the helmet with a piece of square carbon-fibre rod painted gold and embedded into the helmet.
