Smiling Fox[TK] Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 That is a Rubies Scout helmet. Believe it or not, that is the officially sanctioned helmet. Yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Believe it or not, that's the official stock photo. The "good" one was the fiberglass don post one they only made 25 of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches_DC Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) The original Don Post from 1997. Those things take a ton of modification to look decent (I should know... I did it). You literally have to tear the entire thing apart and start from scratch. When they're done though... they look pretty good if a little small. The molds were actually fairly screen accurate, but the vinyl used to make the helmets was HORRIBLE. Couldn't hold its shape at all which is why the helmet looks so horribly flared out. The Deluxe version that was fiberglass was actually considered an excellent helmet. Those fiberglass models were also made by Altmann's in Australia under LFL license and they are absolutely AMAZING, but extremely rare these days. Bottom line on the helmet pictured... good intentions gone horribly wrong. This is mine just prior to finishing several years ago. The same base helmet, just reconstructed and reinforced in the right areas: Edited November 14, 2013 by Peaches_DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaches_DC Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Its quite pathetic that they STILL find buyers for those things. It does look pretty ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMUDGE Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 It looks like it was made for John Merrick(The Elephant Man) -ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadger Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 This must be a scout trooper working for Lord Dark Helmet from Spacballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
