    Marcus, when will you have these for sale? You last posted almost two months ago, and I don't see any other postings.

     

    If you aren't going to sell the finished product, then at least please allow those of us across the pond the .stl files, so we can print our own.

    I have 10 Com links as kits for sale if you guys are interested... Please drop me a line !

     

     

  7. Anovos helmet - 3d scanned or from digital files used in the production of the movie?

    I know there is one with abs and Fiberglas buckets side by side... Search "ANOVOS" threads... Think there's one specifically for the FO abs bucket too

    thanks I saw the pictures! Both helmets have their inaccuracies in my eyes but the biggest one is the mic tip area on the ABS version. It looks like they needed to change the design and extend parts slightly to be able to assemble the ABS parts *seemlessly*. Personally I would go for the fiberglas version and deepen the trapezoids a bit more maybe.

    These stories that I'm hearing combined with the fact that the ABS trooping helmet's quality and proportions seemed a little off when compared to the Anovos fiberglass version is making me double guess my dedication to a FO build.

     

    If the other rumors about a basic kit costing well into the $1000 to $2000 region turns out to be true, I think I may go with one of the fan kits for both accuracy and cost saving measures.

     

     

    I think a picture was posted earlier in this thread... I've seen a comparison, and one trooper said he'd be using his abs bucket, instead of the Fiberglas version.<br><br>

    Just checked, no comparison picture, but I have seen one...

     

    I see different claims here :) comparing them from different pictures with different angles and the cameras focal length makes it not easy to recognize although I collected many pictures. A good side by side shot would be great.

    We can keep debating on where these files ANOVOS had came from, and speculating about Disney's involvement. Truth be told, no one knows unless you were part of the process of what happened between Disney and ANOVOS... Neither are talking so the point is moot.<br><br>

    I'm with Bender on this. I'm tired of people bashing ANOVOS. Do I know them? No. I do know some of them are Legion members, and I do know that their Star Trek line, and Battlestar Galactica line are authentic reproductions. I see them putting the same hardship and love into Star Wars too. Have I made a purchase from them? No. Have I seen their TFA TK armour worn by other Legion members? Yes, and it looks awesome!

    I didn't know Anovos is bashed so much but I read bad things about them just now after I started this thread. It was not my intention to make them bad. For me Anovos still has the best Prerequisites for making it as close as possible except someone takes their helmet and makes measurements from their work and reinterpretes the design. This would be most likely just different then and difficult to get it more optimized. However I am curious of possible differences in shape between the ABS and fiberglas version? Does anyone own both and can compare them side by side?

    so the fiberglas version from Anovos is a bit more accurate than the ABS version? What are the differences?

    thank you this clears it up a bit more. If I look at the figures from "hot toys" they look quite accurate for me. I wonder if they got the digital files then? I think time will tell us more but if anovos actually claims to offer - Derived from digital files used in the production- helmets and its only 3D scanned I would feel betrayed. I think its still a good looking replica and very close but the claims should stand for what it is. I hope Jez from starwarhelmets will make a nice comparison of the different TFA helmets soon or someone else here on the forums. :)

    I noticed Anovos changed the description of their TFA Helmet. Some time ago it was described as: "Replicated from details utilizing 3D scanning and references from the original piece". Now it says: "Derived from digital files used in the production of STAR WARS™ EPISODE VII: THE FORCE AWAKENS".

    I remember when I was disappointed when I read it was ONLY 3D scanned because I expected they would have used the digital files directly from the moviemakers! And now the claim is different. As a product designer I know it can make a big difference to scan a helmet or to use the original constructed file. Depending on the afterwork on the 3d scan details might be different. So I wonder if someone can confirm if Anovos changed only their claims or indeed is selling a different product now.

    Yes I am working on it. The pictures of the back part nipple I found are not very nice. The diameter of the mic tip and the nipple from the inside fit both perfectly on the black mainbody. The Nipple on the back side is a bit different though at the screen used comlink and it needs to be modified. It would be cool to get some feedback if there is enough interest.
