Sounds like an exciting project, Svante. Looking forward to following along. :-)

As others said above, the brow height can be adjusted with the faceplate alignment. Hopefully it is how you want it when it arrives; however, if it’s not, it can still be adjusted a little. (We’ve got your back).

Oh, and your English is EXCELLENT! No worries there, Trooper.

Best wishes
Dan

Hi Dan ( CableGuy ),

 

a special THANK YOU to you;). I will Start this project because of your threats. Some weeks ago I started to looking around. Like the last years I was at the RS propmaster side and was dreaming. At this Moment I was at my 20 year dream mode ( only for looking around) .... But than there was it. A HDPE helmet.... And I thought. Oh wait....the original helmets were not out of ABS?  that is interestig. So I looking around and found this Website ( white amor) . I read a lot...

So the HDPE helmet piqued my interest. 

The Website kindled the fire even more. 

But then I was about to give up. I was so interested in the HDPE helmet.. but I thought it is a little bit crazy to spend so much money for the RS Helmet..... But then I found your threats about the HDPE Helmet .... and this helmet looks amazing ( paintjob ). And it is a little cheaper. Than I read all your posts.... And after that I decided that I will start this project! Some minutes later I ordered a kit from DA props. 

 

One question. If I get started. Should I stay at the replica Forum....or should I go to another forum for posting my progress? ( Not only for the helmet. Also for a armor). 

 

Have a nice day ( all of you )

Svante, welcome aboard.  Let me suggest this for you.  Whatever you do, read up on the Costume Reference Library, CRL, to make sure your build is approvable and accurate.  When you display it, you will be displaying a beautiful piece.  And when you wear it, you will be wearing something you are proud of and looks the way it should.  If you have any questions please feel free to message me.

I hope you are right that it will a beautiful piece :). I am a little scared of it. There are so many small details...  I will try my best. And also thank you for invite me to Massage you. . 

 

I will keep you Updated

Hallo Harder jemand aus meiner Nähe? ( some one from my location ) ?

Dear all,

 

today I join the forum and also bought an HDPE helmet. I wantet to paint one like cable guy :). ( I will try ). And after that I will go on step by step to complete a armor. 

 

But now the question. Like I said I ordered a HDPE helmet. I was asked  if I want a pure kit or if I want the kit basic assembly.  Basic assembly = includes trimming and assembly of all the parts, no painting. Iordered the basic assembly Version because I never build such a project.

 

Now I am a bit affraid that the brow is not in the right position ( Not like the brow on screen and also wrong to my taste ) when the helmet arrives. I do not like it if the brow is to low or to high. Is there a possibility to fix this if the brow is not in right position? I am afraid that there are holes from the screws that destroy the screen look that I  streve for. 

 

Hopefully my question is clear. English is some times a bit hard for me. :).

Thank you all.

 

Svante.

Hello troops, 

 

first at all, please excuse when I some times use wrong words or so. English is Not my best discipline. The last 20 years since I saw the OT at cinema ( the 90s spezial edition)  I think about to build or buy ready an armor for the galactic empire. But it never hapend. Now the last days this thought returns. And I will start to build and buy an armor. 

 

My thought is to worke on a ANH stunt version of a trooper. I will try to build a as near as possible to a screen version trooper. But maybe at the end it will be a Hybrid between a screen version and a more practical one. Some times I will wear the armor maybe. But I do not want to troop it very often.  It is more a display armor. 

 

So for the beginning I ordered a helmet. 

I decided to buy a HDPE helmet. 

Now I am very excided and hopefully the helmet will arrive next week or the week after. After completing this helmet I will go on step by step. 

 

Thank you all 

 

Regards 

 

Svante
