firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I got this helmet kit from my good friend Rolf aka TD 252 a while back and have finally got around to finishing it in ESB style. I had a bit of help from my other good buddy StukaTrooper aka Pete, thank you very much and ps it was nice to see your clone progress.. that is going to look totally awesome Anyway back to the helmet, i finished this using ESB decals from Mike TK 4510 and Keiths hovi mic tips replica's and painted the frown and vocoder satin black. The inside is finished in the usual sparce fashion with star shaped foam, green welders lens and elastic chin strap.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougefresh Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Fantastic collection, Mark! I imagine it's a lot of fun having all those toys lined up! Could you tell us which is which? I'm curious to see if I'm guessing correctly on all of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Damn!!! Do my ESB decals fit the Dan Laws OK??? Hi Mike yes your decals fit this helmet ok, about the same as the TE2 helmet i would say. The only hard part here was the cheek traps, in that these dan laws lids have a really large oval dimple which is a pain to get the decal to curve over. But apart from that, they look sweet Photo courtesy of Dan Laws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tie-pilot Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 DL has done it again, this looks a very quality DL product, I had the pleasure in purchasing tie armor from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littledragon88[TK] Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 from what I heard, the bump was added there by DL to replicate the bump on the original helmets.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougefresh Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Legend has it that the bump was always there -- but TE and Gino purposefully removed it, for whatever reason. I could be talking out of my butt, but I seem to remember reading something like that back in the day when those two were allowed to square off here.

dougefresh Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 You're exactly right. I think it's kind of a cool little detail -- I'm glad DL's put it back. I wonder if it serves any kind of practical function -- like aiding in the de-moulding process, or if it was just an extra esthetic detail that got discarded/replaced/augmented with paint/decals. Anybody know the scoop on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billhag Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I love this little bullet / oval detail in the tear traps I think you'll find that TM as had this detail incorporated in his helmets for quite some time now definitely well, well before Dan reintroduced back into his molds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
