Have you tried using Imgur?

Happy BBB-day

Talk about beeing a good friend And *unfollows* pssssss ()

I was only joking about that particular sale, but thanks - good to know I have a supplier if all else fails And now that you let the cat out of the bag I expect a replica helmet from you as well

Only for a millisecond when I had the feeling I didn´t see any of these photos on your build but you probably did...I know….I should know better And just to change the awkwardness….watched the videos yet?

My faith in you is restored

Rs Propmasters has an original screen used helmet that they cast and made a mold from that they sell - rspropmasters.com If you read this thred from the beginning you will see what it looks like as that´s the one I´m building

And to clarify, the RS and this helmets are most likely from the same mold back in the day. Not sure though if the originals were all made from the same mold or if they hade several to speed up production but I´m sure Paul knows.

No it´s not, RS has another screen used helmet that they make their molds from.

And now I know what to ad to my Sandtrooper - way to impulsive but you only live once or twice and I already have a red pauldron so

If you haven´t Greg I´m going to be upset as this was posted on the MEPD a while back

Check out DA props, they have an outstanding mold and do HDPE pulls, I sent them a message yesterday but they are moving so excpected to be back up and running at the end of feb, check this video of it and try not to jump up and down in excitement(not DA Props putting it together though)

Reaching Centurion should be an effort and just out of curiosity, the AM back and chest plate were not approvable some time ago due to the molds (v1) shouldn´t the right course of action be to have the makers to check their molds and update accordingly? However I would be surprised if the angle isn´t already possible to achieve when trimming the ears on helmets from the vetted sellers list. Just a thought Here Here! (I chant for Dan to)

I Think I´ll be buying this only 1.99 a can but shipping was a whopping 99.15US Rust-Oleum Fossil-Satin Spray Paint (249080) Brand New 17.64 SEK From United States Buy It Now +879.05 SEK shipping

Made a quick search and it´s a Europe matching system that was revised in 1993 and the "matching", or the update on the forum atleast, was made in 2013 so hope has returned

So is the RAL a universal code after all?

Hmm...maybe there´s hope on the horizon then….but probably not, I went back and looked and it said gelbgrau….thanks for the heads-up though, gonna go search for Rostelum Fossil Satin then

So basicly the information is incorrect or are there different RALs so to speak? It was my understanding that the RAL code is universal? Or does it simply not match? I ordered the RAL 7034 already and was only concerned with the number…….got a wee bit frustrated now just in case that wasn´t obvious

So...back to order...usually I just hack away but this time I decided to draw some trim lines just in case it would be helpful to anyone. These lines are not meant to be the definitive way to trim an RS helmet but atleast it´s a start and I´m basicly just removing the extra plastic aka the flashing. I usually also cut more of the forehead than this but as one can see on the RS they left this on the Movie helmets and as this is a replica build so will I. Some more pics showing the RS helmet (screen used) Now...whats with the wierd color?? The originals were made of HDPE plastic and then painted white. I was to impatient to wait for a HDPE run so I will use this paint to emulate the khaki color. And if all goes well I will have some nice ANH wear and tear showing the "original color" As seen, the ears are pretty thin and this time around they came with suggested trim lines drawn on them. Good starting point. Well...I have the lines, time to cut. I´m using a tin snip except for teeth and eyes were I use a utility knife. And that´s a wrap for today.

Starting the first day of the year by tinkering with a Stormtrooper helmet - not to bad Not everyone seemed pleased about it though…. Hey! Watch were you are pointing that thing will ya!

Question: does that mean it can’t be more than 10?

Grandfathered But if you want to be ”up-to-snuff” so to speak then making the changes would be your choice.

Simplest would be to do nothing - the lower snap-point isn’t needed as the belt will hold it closed. I know some would say the belt is not meant to be structural and all that but why not use it if it’s there, totally up to you of course

Yes I agree to that, shouldn´t be an issue though with the CRL beeing as it is, it clearly shows a gap and the GMLs are instructed to use the Visual guide as well as the written text. However I guess there´s no harm in mentioning it even att basic. Suggestion and by no means intended as a finished product. Basic: Browtrim - A small but visible gap is required between the eyes and brow. See CRL pic for reference. L2: Browtrim - A clear gap between the eyes and the brow. L3: Browtrim - A distinct gap between the eyes and the brow.
