I know what you’re thinking: “What a clever duct tape replica of an Episode 2 red clone trooper helmet!” That is what it looks like, but really I was more inspired by my dad’s old Mandalorian helmet from his days as a training sergeant during the Clone Wars. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wow, how awesome would it be to have a Mandalorian soldier for a father?!” Well, it is pretty awesome, but it’s also pretty cool having an escaped genetically-enhanced ex-government assassin for a mom. Sure, growing up in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest was hard, but we were happy.
More images of that sweet duct tape helmet under the cut.

Sweet looking helmet. I don’t remember your dad’s helmet being red though. That’s a great picture of the parents too. I haven’t seen them in a long time, but they haven’t changed a bit. Tell them i said hey.

I finally found another example of SW duct tape! I made a set Mandalorian armor of duct tape. You can see it under my username TogrutaJedi.

Not at all. It spreads further the small amount of SW duct tape there is.
