RS "HDPE" Project Show Off


Recommended Posts

I just wanted to share the results of our project now we are at the end of what has been around two years of research and development. I did post these up on Facebook, but maybe not all of you have liked are page yet - http://www.facebook.com/RS.Prop.Masters feel free FB users to see what we are upto.

 

Anyway, we are really pleased with the results. There were many issues to get over, not least the way to form this pretty nasty plastic and get a consistently good result. We also wanted to make sure we did not achieve the wide face look, we just kept pushing till we had the best replica of Simon's helmet we could get. It has been a huge learning curve, but I think we achieved our goal in the end.

 

Please Enjoy.

Just got mine. Wow. Helmet is what I always wanted and great service.

 

I got to hold an original and this has that much more solid feel about it like an original.

 

It's the right size too. Big !

 

Detail is great and has all the odd bumps.

 

The plastic is thin behind the aerators, so I might beef that up some.

 

Very sharp details.

 

Question: I always thought the originals got the bumps from the HDPE plastic. Where did the bumps come from.

Got mine today too. Awesome helmet. I had to start on it right away. I'll never get to hold an original but this has to be the closest.
