TI helmet question

[Tiepilot1138[TK]]

A buddy of mine is getting married next month, and I suggested to his fiancee that she get him a TI helmet kit. The only one I've found so far is this one by star fortress

In my reading so far, the general opinion seems to be to avoid star fortress. I think I can get him into trooping, so she should probably get something decent. Any suggestions?

Star Fortress is total crap. Its a poorly done recast of a Don Post anyway. Avoid at all costs. Track down either the legitimate Don Post or get one of those beautiful kits offered by Dan Laws.

Thanks. Are these still in production? There doesn't seem to be as much interest in the TI's.

check out the jolly roger squad - the 501 detachment o omega wing. also look up star wars helmets.com

 

options I say are :

 

Rubies with quite a few mods, easliy get from loads of shops

 

SF - last I heard his molds were broken, check out the RPF for ongoing interest

 

DLaws - hard to come by

 

Old Don Post - ebay or other costuming sites, not made anymore

 

the 1st 2 are smaller than movie-accurate size. the latter 2 are larger, movie accurate size.

 

AVOID SFP AT ALL COST - recaster, poor business ethics, fugitive from US, outstanding allegations of unsavoury business with kids.

 

oh yeah SDS as well - but would be really expensive

 

if u get cash to splash - Laws is tha way forward.
