well my computer is broken and I can't use my 3D modelling programs. Actually I only have my laptop which is too weak to work with and I need to make the back piece for the com link! I think I will have a new computer in january and continue this project. -

Well done Dan! Great comparison! I have to mention in the future my Mic tips will have the screen mesh already installed! So no difficult cutting for everbody anymore I can also offer them painted with airbrush now if wanted. -
would anybody part with their bubble lens? I have a raw FO replica and I still need the lens.

awsome!

thanks I saw the pictures! Both helmets have their inaccuracies in my eyes but the biggest one is the mic tip area on the ABS version. It looks like they needed to change the design and extend parts slightly to be able to assemble the ABS parts *seemlessly*. Personally I would go for the fiberglas version and deepen the trapezoids a bit more maybe.

I didn't know Anovos is bashed so much but I read bad things about them just now after I started this thread. It was not my intention to make them bad. For me Anovos still has the best Prerequisites for making it as close as possible except someone takes their helmet and makes measurements from their work and reinterpretes the design. This would be most likely just different then and difficult to get it more optimized. However I am curious of possible differences in shape between the ABS and fiberglas version? Does anyone own both and can compare them side by side?

thank you this clears it up a bit more. If I look at the figures from "hot toys" they look quite accurate for me. I wonder if they got the digital files then? I think time will tell us more but if anovos actually claims to offer - Derived from digital files used in the production- helmets and its only 3D scanned I would feel betrayed. I think its still a good looking replica and very close but the claims should stand for what it is. I hope Jez from starwarhelmets will make a nice comparison of the different TFA helmets soon or someone else here on the forums.

I noticed Anovos changed the description of their TFA Helmet. Some time ago it was described as: "Replicated from details utilizing 3D scanning and references from the original piece". Now it says: "Derived from digital files used in the production of STAR WARS™ EPISODE VII: THE FORCE AWAKENS". I remember when I was disappointed when I read it was ONLY 3D scanned because I expected they would have used the digital files directly from the moviemakers! And now the claim is different. As a product designer I know it can make a big difference to scan a helmet or to use the original constructed file. Depending on the afterwork on the 3d scan details might be different. So I wonder if someone can confirm if Anovos changed only their claims or indeed is selling a different product now.

Yes I am working on it. The pictures of the back part nipple I found are not very nice. The diameter of the mic tip and the nipple from the inside fit both perfectly on the black mainbody. The Nipple on the back side is a bit different though at the screen used comlink and it needs to be modified. It would be cool to get some feedback if there is enough interest. -
