supa troop Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Im nearing completion on a CAP rebuild i recently purchased one from a member on the RPF and it was in a very very poor state, so much so i had to take it all apart and turn it into a sandtrooper Helmet to hide the flaws, ive tried to turn it into the "Move along Trooper" not an exact replica due its state but very similar..... anyway once ive completed this project i want to have a go at putting together another helmet in the Style of Luke Skywalkers hero helmet. what in your opinions would be the best helmet to use for this project and also are there any other special bits i need to consider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 If you want a true Hero style helmet then i guess a TM would be a good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john danter Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 That TM is pretty sweet fairplay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think TM is probably the best right now. If price/lead time becomes an issue, the AP is able to be made to a nice Hero as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supa troop Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The more i look at this hero helmet the more im liking it How far down does the brow trim fit ? and is the helmet smaller than Stunt helmets ? it kind of looks squashed down if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I found there was a little more clearance under the chin (bumping into your chest / neck) than the stunts which were often assembled with a higher brow as well. Overall, they are pretty close in overall size though. BTW: I have moved this topic to the helmets and armor discussion forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
