Storm73 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hi Guys, I purchased this helmet many years ago on Ebay to join the 501st and do my build. But it is really heavy and way to big for my head so really put me off on my build and becoming a trooper. I was told that it is a fiberglass cast of the Shepperton Design Battle Specs Helmet, any information and advice would be much appreciated. More importantly I wanted to know if all Helmets are this size and cumbersome measurements are 21 cm side and 24 cm front to back before I look at starting a new build. I have attached photos Thanks for your time. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwede[TK] Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hey Damian Looks to be a Shepperton but I would recommend getting another one, an ABS helmet weigh way less and don`t be put off the helmet beeing to big, that`s what padding is for Check out the getting started section for lots of great info in how to becoming a Stormtrooper here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 What is making the helmet unweildy is probably the fact its fibreglass and so heavy. An ABS helmet will be significantly lighter and nicer to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm73 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hi Guys, thanks for the advice it's much appreciated. What would you suggest is a good helmet to purchase? I use to be really interested in the TE 2 helmets but heard they have been discontinued. Is there anything similar? Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
