Mandalorian Helmet for Halloween

I purchased a resin-cast helmet for my in-progress Mandalorian costume and managed to get it painted in time for the festivities (minus the weathering and battle damage.)

I have also been working on a wireless system to move the RF stalk up and down in the helmet.  I took a couple of Arduino Nano’s and a 315Mhz RF transmitter and receiver and concocted a setup (that I am in the process of perfecting) to facilitate this.

Since it was Halloween and I was going as “Mando on Vacation”, I bought some of those oversized sunglasses and attached them to the servo.  The video and pics below should give you an idea…
