DarthVeach Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well here goes!! I started work on my awesome CAP-W helmet from Scootch. Got all the trimming done around the rim and did a test fit with magnets. I have always been a fan of the "Move Along" and "Mr. No Stripes" high brow look, so I am setting mine high. Hopefully not too high though. Let me know what you guys think and I will keep updates going as I build. It is going to be an ANH "chipper" helmet!

Sonnenschein Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Is is that bad? Yes, my dear, indeed. It is THAT bad..... j/k... You're off to a good start!

DarthVeach Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, I was so excited to post a pic and I haven't even gotten that far yet. My main concern was brow height. Look OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, if you like it, then it's okay The originals varied a lot... For myself, I's like the brow about as high as the black rubber trim is wide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVeach Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 OK, after jumping the gun a bit, NOW I can call this a WIP thread. Because I have actually done some work on it now! QUESTION ESB or ANH? I am trying to decide which way this one is going! I'd love to hear your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[TK] Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I am a fan of ANH myself. Looking good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVeach Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Are the eyes the right size for ANH? I was worried I cut them too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[TK] Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 They look good to me I wouldnt cut any more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcode[501st] Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 You can set the brown height to what you like. If you notice in the movie, the brow height varies quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCG Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) You got a great starting point. I like the eyes, I think they look great but it is personal preference I think unless you have an specific look in mind. Personaly i like the sleepy eye More pics please! Cheers A Edited March 25, 2011 by AJCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVeach Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 After looking at this for a while, I think I may go ahead and cut the eyes a little bigger and have this one be my ESB helmet. I have an ATA kit on it's way and I will try to make that one a nice ANH helmet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
