Buffalo Beskar, Part 1: The Idea Stage

By now I think Buffalo Rumblings regulars know you can expect quirky things from me. From recipes to weird articles like: “Which heavy metal band would each Buffalo Bills player be,” to crappy joke illustrations… which I haven’t done in awhile. Well recently a friend and I decided it would be fun to make Bills-themed Star Wars helmets and as usual I’ve decided to take things several steps too far, and now you’re all going to have to deal with my nonsense as the project unwinds.

Note: As of this article beginning, I am NOWHERE near through the project. Heck, I’m barely started. In other words, things will be written based on when I accomplish milestones in the project and therefore may be chaotic.

You’ve been warned. The Spark of Inspiration Believe it or not, I have at least one friend. Recently he started exploring the idea of creating a Bills-themed Boba Fett helmet because… well it’s awesome and that’s pretty self-explanatory.

To clarify, this is not to join the ranks of Superfandom. There are already Star Wars-themed Superfans out there and you might remember I’ve already started wearing a ridiculous costume to games. Rather than bore everyone with all the details, let’s just say the conversation escalated into helmet shape and style preferences, including some conversation on design elements I’ll share below.
