firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I had been looking out for a TM hero helmet for most of last year and in december i finally snagged a raw kit, cool 8) I didnt really get a chance to put it together over the holidays as i wanted as i was always too busy helping myself to another mince pie or glass or sherry, hic, so i have only just got around to getting it done. I already have a couple of low brow hero helmets so i decided to go for the slightly higher version as seen on Han. Although saying that i have not tried to replicate that particular helmet in the details but i just went with what i felt like at the time of building.. I also want to use this for troops which will explain the flat green lenses. I find bubble lenses give me terrible headaches and you cant see a thing with them iether! I found the ears quite challenging with no trim lines, so thanks to Paul for the tips, im not sure if im 100% done with them yet.. All hand painted details and i have decided to use Mike's dave m style tube strips. So this is a 15-16er.. Quote
Madmartigan Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Looks great! Can't wait until I get my kit now.... Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 That looks great Mark. I am going to be putting together a Hero helmet in the near future. I am going to use bubble lenses for mine even though I can't see anything with them. Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Mark, that is a beaut!! Quote
Ghost Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Awesome Mark!!! Love the TM Hero. Would love to do a Han Hero myself someday! Can't wait to see some pics with you trooping in it! Quote
dougefresh Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Looks fantastic, Mark! The hero look seems to be a lot harder to nail, for some reason, but you've done a great job! I can very easily see you waving Imperials off the elevator, with Chewie in tow. I love TM's stuff-- I'm jealous as well. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 I am lining up comps of these helmets. Inside and out, photos. Plain photos. Great lid. Thanks mate Mark - that is a really nice hero helmet and the detailing is wonderful I'm curious to see what you do with the inside as well ;-) Thanks Paul, the inside is just a star shaped piece of foam...
