Ohai thur!

I wonder what could it be?!

Yes! It's finally here. Waited like 2 weeks.. but the wait was worth every minute! I am very happy with it. It feels a lot more stronger than my VT helmet (I have no clue why)

 

 

Here's the Faceplate, Cap 'n back, ears and all the extras:

I still need to add some minor details like the white paint on the ears screws and the black stripes on the bumps, but I'll do that later

Great looking build. Great to see people using screen shots of the movie and not pics of another members buld. You get to see much more detail that way.

I have a question about ESB helmets vs ANH helmets.. I noticed on a lot of them, from the eyes down looks more angled on the ANH helmet, but more straight down on the ESB helmets that I have seen? Is that required, or is that just based on where you get your helmet kit from?

It has to be from the specific kit people used. It has nothing with the movie helmets to do, since those were re-used from ANH. Some people tend to trim the eyes a little bigger when doing ESB though.

 

Nice helmet Juan! But you forgot to paint the ear screws. ;)
