Quick Thankyou post to Troopergear - Got my Stormtrooper helmet recently & Very very happy with it, & surprised/impressed with how thick the plastic is & that it's not too small looking for me. I totally recommend his stuff for any other newbies after a helmet etc.

Cward I'm a bigger guy & I've put in an order with Troopergear for his AM v2.0 helmet. RT Mod was my other choice, but being custom made things you have to wait for the maker's next batch to be made. troopergear@gmail.com I believe he is making his helmets this mont.

Troopgear! Thanks for the reply - email sent!

I'm in the same boat as you lovemonkey size-wise, AM was another choice for me but I only ever got a reply from RT-Mod. Might try harassing AM again...

From what I've read it's either RT Mod & wait, or FX - now eFX - & then tweak it to make it 501st suitable - if that's what you want to use it for - for us bigger ppl...

Cool Beans. I'm set on a RT helmet in any case, so will focus on that. Personally I think the confusion is ( from a newbie pov ) - If someone stuck a Rubies helmet infront of me, having not been on here, I'd have said Cool that's a great Stormtrooper helmet wanted one for years! Then you see a RT one for example beside it & you think Ahh crap!!
Other thing is price for what you get, as in end of the day it's plastic. I know ( from reading here ) if your trooping all day weight is an issue, but a lot of people struggle with paying $300+ for a plastic helmet. For comparison - sort of - I recently got a Sallet helmet made from the Czech Republic. 2mm Steel, hand forged to my exact head measurement's..handmade internal padding fitted...took 3 months, maker emailed me pics each week of his progress...I was able to suggest small changes...offered me several different styles & designs I could choose from & prices of each - $1000 Aus. delivered. Awesome awesome thing, happy to pay for it.
Anyways Thanks for the info/replies guys

hmm ebay seller has been talked about here before under Recast Alert. Wealth of Info this site

Yeah but but but...
It's easy to see that you should avoid the Rubies ones... eFX ones are everywhere now on the old Ebay, & other posts on here talk about modding them to get them to 501 specs correct? - Stormtrooper gear seems a lot like the medevil armour helmets that I am more used to..crappy ones on ebay, & only way to get a good one is to track down the right maker & wait.

Hmm it won't let me post links here...Anyways Opinions on the Resin Cast lids avail. on ebay? Seller has a Boba Fett & AT AT one for sale in the US...Boba one looks pretty decent to me - seller is atom_kinder - Anyone have any experience with these? I've read that fiberglass ones are heavy for the trooping side of things. Also do members trying to sell their unwanted gear list their stuff for sale on this site?
-
Thanks Zugor, have done what you suggested & am keen to go with RT-Mod - Rob, his stuff seems perfect for my size/budget - already had a reply but it's abit open-ended...'currently not taking orders but check back in future for when I am' - Fair enough, but does Rob typically announce when he's going to be releasing a batch for sale?

Hello, My name's Michael, similar to the last post on this thread newbie in search of a Stormtrooper Helmet for someone that's over 6ft. - I have flicked an email to RT about their helmets, Meanwhile anyone know how the RT one compares with the EFX ones that are currently all over Ebay? They seem to be a larger size?
Thanks!
