Fiberglass Helmet on the 'Bay

[FIVE[501st]]

Is this bad boy on StarWarsHelmets.com?

It's not a bad looking helmet... and not outrageous in price either. Not screen accurate (obviously) as it claims, but pretty good. And fiberglass to boot.

 

Anyone know anymore about them?

Anyone have one... want to post some pics?

 

 

Please disregard any of this... I was obviously not paying attention.

Oh yeah... NO eBAY! And I'm not even looking to buy one, it's just I'd never seen them before.

I think that is based on an RT Mod. As above stay away.

summary:

1. known recaster (allegedly)

2. TK helmet said to be a RT-Mod recast

3. believed to have recast some biker scout armour

4. sells soft parts for several other SW cossies - which some people think is ok to buy from despite his recasting history; go figure

If I had heard of him, which I'm sure I have at some point, I didn't recognize him right off the bat.

 

Thanks for the (refresher) info everybody!

[FIVE[501st]]

And WHOA! That 2nd link you shared Nathan really shows how truly soft that bucket is. Yowzers!

[Heatshock[501st]]

oh yeah its really soft - I am sure the originally owner posts on here too

 

I have far to much info abt dodgy sellers in my head - its sad really.

apparently the paint job was a real joke too btw

Thanks man.

Yeah, I feel like kind of a dork for posting it and saying, "It looks pretty good."

 

A friend of mine on facebook was saying he wanted one, and honestly at first glance I thought it might be a fan sculpt I hadn't seen or something... but now I'm like, "I DO know a good bucket when I see one... RIGHT?" hahaha

 

So yeah... never mind.

 

Now, continue on reading my posts about the MR CE and my really accurate TE2 armor!!

I bought my first helmet from him, and it was a nice start off. Though this was before I came in contact with the 501st...

 

However, there are other options that are as cheap or cheaper, than this one. And they are not as heavy! After trooping with a fiberglass helmet for most of my first year in the 501st, it was such a relief to get an AP helmet. Which was cheaper!

 

Stay away from it, is my advise. The only good thing about it, is that people think it's a real helmet when they tap it. That's all.
