james007bond[TK] Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Chaps Been told this is a follano lid.... i'm thinking on getting my grubby mits on it and wanted to ask what you think... (of the lid that is and not my mits... ) ----------- Look at how asymmetrical it is...

james007bond[TK] Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Forgot to mention it's a type 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeR Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Nice bucket, the cap is slightly inaccurate (for 100% movie accurate nuts), but it is a very good lightweight trooping bucket. 100% genuine GF Vers 2. I have owned 2 of these in the past. You could upgrade to Keith's mic tips as an optional extra. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yes, the hovi's are shockingly bad on this and I have a set of Keith's tips lying around somewhere...., i just need to know if this bucket is bigger than my AP bucket? And whether i'd troop in it or have it on display is another matter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAZGÛL Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Im not a fan of the GF. The tubes and cap looks wrong to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 i just need to know if this bucket is bigger than my AP bucket? It should be the same size if they are built the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1970[501st] Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I agree that the cap is not 100% right, but its a nice looking helmet Shiv. Is your AP too small bro..? Mine is a little snug but still comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFA Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Nice lid , a true collectors item . you don't see many of these around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougefresh Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Great bucket, Shiv! Thanks for sharing pics; we don't see very many GFs here... nice stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 The photos are taken too close and don't do it any justice. That said I like The GF and would not part with mine...a nice collectors piece! Also they do seem to yellow with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hey Darren, my AP lid is very snug.... lol, I actually have another one too which i'm experimenting with, so that will become my main trooping bucket... eventually... Hey Doug, (pleasure sharing these pics with the community).... I thought the guys here would appreciate this GF lid....and let's face it, the GF lid is rare and a work of art for some and not for others.... Incidently, one of the UKG guys has a GF lid and has made it into a Sandy.... when I saw it and tried it on, I thought, I want one of those..... let's face it.... it's part of the SW history in one way shape or form (always wanted to say that line.... lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littledragon88[TK] Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I have one like this too...but because of lack of information I had at the time when I built it, I chose to fill up the gaps between the ears and tube-area with putty, and then I repainted the whole thing... I might deassemble the whole thing and sand it down and do it all right one day. Btw, I've compared my GF with other helmets, and the GF looks so huge compared to for instance TE-derived stunt helmets. How come? Is it because GF sculpted the hero features over an excisting stunt?

james007bond[TK] Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Awesome pic Jerad..... there's some about a GF suit which IMHO which just makes it special... Whether i'd troop in one or shove it on a display manequinn is another matter... However, i'd sure like to get my mits on a complete suit.....

james007bond[TK] Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks Scott, the pics just don't do it justice at all.... next to my AP lid and my SDS hero lid (yes the uber expensive one), the GF just rocks... I won't troop in it at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hey Shiv, Nice looking GF Hero lid.... You need to post some pics with all three buckets AP, SDS and GF together for comparison! That I would love to see!!!!!!!!
