Post Your 1:1 Helmets and/or Props

[FancyFett]

Very nice! Who made them? What are they made of? Who did the paint?

Thx, I wish i could get you more information, but I have no idea. My first helmet to the left is something I random got from ebay some years ago. It is made of firberglass and the paintjob is my own. The newer one is coldcast fiberglass and is made by a russian propmaker. That is all the information I got when I bought it :/

I went with the ANH Jim Dowdall signature edition. It's only 25 pounds more and comes with a stand and signature.

Good choice. I thought of getting him too, but already have 2 ANH RS lids, the one in this pic above on the right - their first edition ever, and the one on the life-size Stormie armor/mannequin. And display space is already limited.

I wish I'd known about them sooner and got the signed Scout Trooper they did. Still waiting for eFX's.

 

[Centurion]

No can do. I can send the PCR they sent me since I've been waiting years for the Scout Trooper.

LOL! Already have that one but thanks anyway.

You guys have convinced me. Can't wait for it to get here!

The YES! police strikes again!

I really regret missing the Scout lid aswell!

Yup, the Dickey Beer signed lid.
I've been waiting for that one for 30+ years.

RS might make the Scout again so look out carefully. But RS guys indeed realized how hard is to make these helmets the same way the screen used were: out of 2 joined ABS halves. EFX Scout will not be made the same way alas, not even Legend, and that will make the RS still more accurate.

True. They may revisit the Scout. Most likely as an open edition and unsigned. Molded as one piece.

 

[DarthRusty]

The whole thing as one piece? Or just the shell of the helmet, but still with flip up visor (like the one eFX isn't making)? If it will still have the flip up visor, I might jump on it. That way I can have a weathered version. IF they do make it.
I take it you guys are getting this news via FaceBook? I'm not on FaceBook, so this is the first I'm hearing about it.

I saw one sell for $1000 on BSN so the demand is definately there.

We were saying "if" they decide to make it again.
Sorry for the confusion.

Oh fine. I'll keep dreaming

Any new news on yours? I'm hoping your Scout lid is still on, or ahead of, schedule. Can't wait to see your photos

 

[Smash]

What are your guys' favorite helmet stands? Looking for something pretty minimal that doesn't distract much. Also, are you able to "angle" your helmets while on the stands?

Still waiting patiently.
If I don't hear anything from them within the next 2 weeks, I'll reach out to them.

Wow! I would not sell mine but I understand why the high price. It is the best Scout lid out there, and not even when/if EFX releases their Legend it might not be as accurate as RS version.

Scouts are much much harder to make than regular Stormies or TIE Pilots, which are the bread and butter for RS. The reason they only made so few Scouts so far.

Peopl are using paper towel stands for their helmets, they work fine. I use some wood custom stands made by Hdtheater on FISD/501st, which are very solid and come with various logos sculpted on the base.

Personally, I use those velvet heads they use at beauty supply stores. They're only about $15-20 each and I'm still able to display each helmet inside of a detolf shelf since they're not raised that much.

And here's a photo of my Luke X-Wing Helmet on it.

Those are perfect for the open-face helmets.

 

[irezumi]

Those displays are fantastic, Jaycepticon!

 

[FancyFett]

Something a bit different. A coldcast Pre Vizsla helmet from the clone wars season 2.

 

[TRDNiteLife]

Updated the helmets and running out of room.
