R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Hi guys! Some of you on here already knew that I had this in the pipeline, but this weekend I finally found the time to get it close to being done: My very own Dave M. "Set For Stun" helmet replica. The helmet itself is the prototype of a new generation of Vaj lids (used to be NGB), which is yet to be released. I fixed some little cracks and webbings on it, then gave it the whole Dave M. treatment. All I need now is some screen for the mictips and then I'll call it done The pics won't show all the weathering details, it looks pretty greasy to the eye - anyhow, enough bla bla, here come the pictures: I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I'll let you guys tear it apart now Edited March 8, 2010 by R2Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiHahn[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Outstanding, man. Not that I didn't expect it to turn out great, but that is really something. Filthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4lrog Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 outstanding maybe you could do some comparison shots so everybody sees how much work you put in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Dennis suggested the same - thing is my pics aren't good enough - but I'll see what I can come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Okay, I gave it a go - angles aren't perfect, and I had to adjust my pics heavily (they had a blue tinge and were way too dark) but I think they'll work for now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren1970[501st] Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Wow, I thought the first images WERE of the screen used lid too. A great job Dan well done. I was thinking of doing something with my AP lid ( like a specific screen lid, but as it was in the day ) you've got me thinking HMMM.

TK-4224[501st] Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 it needs definitly new ears but rest of the bucket is great some aereas need small work but it´s the best replica i´ve ever seen FO the lineage that is a killer bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 it needs definitly new ears but rest of the bucket is great some aereas need small work but it´s the best replica i´ve ever seen FO the lineage that is a killer bucket you are correct with the ears Mario. They have "Dave M." - origin but are modified to fit the modifed tubes on the "Brian R." Te/Gino lineage replicas. I am working on this. I had a lot of helmets in my collection but in time I felt not satisfied with them anymore. I felt forced to make something new with a bit of improvement. I love what you did with the helmet Dan! I would like to see how it looks while wearing armor. Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
