R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Hi guys! Some of you on here already knew that I had this in the pipeline, but this weekend I finally found the time to get it close to being done: My very own Dave M. "Set For Stun" helmet replica. The helmet itself is the prototype of a new generation of Vaj lids (used to be NGB), which is yet to be released. I fixed some little cracks and webbings on it, then gave it the whole Dave M. treatment. All I need now is some screen for the mictips and then I'll call it done The pics won't show all the weathering details, it looks pretty greasy to the eye - anyhow, enough bla bla, here come the pictures: I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I'll let you guys tear it apart now Edited March 8, 2010 by R2Dan Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Outstanding, man. Not that I didn't expect it to turn out great, but that is really something. Filthy! Quote
b4lrog Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 outstanding maybe you could do some comparison shots so everybody sees how much work you put in! Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 Dennis suggested the same - thing is my pics aren't good enough - but I'll see what I can come up with Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 Okay, I gave it a go - angles aren't perfect, and I had to adjust my pics heavily (they had a blue tinge and were way too dark) but I think they'll work for now: Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 That looks fantastic Dan. I thought it was the real helmet in your first post! Quote
stukatrooper Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Way to go Dan,a must have for any collection,I know you spent time on this one mate and it shows.very nice! Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 what type of helmet is this? The helmet itself is the prototype of a new generation of Vaj lids (used to be NGB), which is yet to be released. Quote
Dmian Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Wow! Really impressive, Dan! Terrific work! Quote
Turrican Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Fantastic work Dan. Very close to the screen used! Quote
Obievon[501st] Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Right click............save! Fantastic reference pictures! Outstanding work! Anymore info on the make of this lid? Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 as said it's a Vaj lid, he's on here as well, maybe he can chime in and give you some details. If you want to see my "making of", I've put up a bunch of pics on my Facebook account (look for Dan Sczudlik there ) Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 It looks just terrible Dan, I think you should ship the Lid to me , and I will keep it for you so, no one will ever know you did it Just kidding Brillant work I love your SFS lid Quote
darren1970[501st] Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Wow, I thought the first images WERE of the screen used lid too. A great job Dan well done. I was thinking of doing something with my AP lid ( like a specific screen lid, but as it was in the day ) you've got me thinking HMMM. Quote
TKDUEUNO Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Eat your heart out, Gino!!! That's really a "stunning" helmet!!! Beautiful job, Dan Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Posted March 10, 2010 thanks for all the praise guys I'm really proud of it... guess a Brian R replica will be next Quote
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Dude, that looks awesome! Excellent attention to detail, hard to tell yoursfrom the real thing...great job bro! Quote
TK-4224[501st] Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 it needs definitly new ears but rest of the bucket is great some aereas need small work but it´s the best replica i´ve ever seen FO the lineage that is a killer bucket Quote
Vaj Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 it needs definitly new ears but rest of the bucket is great some aereas need small work but it´s the best replica i´ve ever seen FO the lineage that is a killer bucket you are correct with the ears Mario. They have "Dave M." - origin but are modified to fit the modifed tubes on the "Brian R." Te/Gino lineage replicas. I am working on this. I had a lot of helmets in my collection but in time I felt not satisfied with them anymore. I felt forced to make something new with a bit of improvement. I love what you did with the helmet Dan! I would like to see how it looks while wearing armor. Marcus Quote
R2Dan[TK] Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Posted March 11, 2010 I love what you did with the helmet Dan! I would like to see how it looks while wearing armor. Marcus I have a photo shoot in my TM soon, I'll take that lid along and have pictures made Quote
AJCG Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Best ANH replica out there. I love it Dan, terrific job Cheers A Quote
