The reason I needed this was for a display I am working on... an exact copy of the TK bucket interior as shown in the first photo. It's an unusual shape (pic 2) which probably hasn't been made in years. I ordered a "replica" from a seller on FB which looked to be fairly close and somewhat thick(ish) (pic 3). This is what I received. It appears to be "molded" in one piece, but is definitely a fan-made sculpt using thin craft (EVA) foam. Although very flexible, the details are way too rough looking (first pic below) and at 5mm thick way too thin (second pic below) to use for this project. Still on the hunt if anyone knows a source.

Thanks for linking my comparison Glen. At some point I will be nodding mine but I’ve not gotten round to it. I just want to mention some of the parts are a bit fragile and a friend broke the back temple part and had buy a new helmet to replace it. I also think that his approach to the rear seam that needs to be added is the right way to do it. Just a needle file, you don’t need to take a Dremel to it. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/51311-funkster’s-3d-printed-tlj/?do=findComment&comment=751200

I just bought this from them. A couple of months ago I purchased a Blue squadron helmet that arrived on time and fairly quickly I might add. It's really a different company now that Rubies own it. I do understand how one would be traumatized by the previous owners actions. I think they are good now.

When this one appeared from today's troop, I couldn't help myself. I had to follow Morgi's lead.
