I understand that buddy. Though I have sold templates to younger teenagers already, through their parent of course. I had an hour long email chat with one dad to reassure him that it was genuine and not some sort of scam. No-one gets pressured into buying anything from me.
Ready made helmets can be very costly, and you also wait as long as it'd take to make your own before you get that ready made helmet. I personally preferred making my own Mando bucket instead of buying one. It cost me around £20 to do, I had fun the whole time I was doing it, and when I go to an event in it I can say," I made it all.". I wouldn't be just another Boba or Jango with a different paint job. So it'd be a talking piece with fellow costumers.
So even paying $7.50 for the base pep file, people still save alot of money by building their own. We pay for Bondo, fibreglass etc, so the pep file is just another part of the kit we need to make them. Paying for those too if they're of a good quality is Ok in my book. I'd pay for something if I wanted it.
The other thing I need to point out is, I do commission work for others. Like the Mass Effect stuff, the Cylon and the Helghast mask. It wouldn't be fair for me to charge the client to have it done and then give copies away for free now would it?
Anyway, to those who have bought from me in the past or those that support me and would buy from me, I thank you.
To those who don't think it's worth a price, then that's Ok. Each to their own.
