Sonnenschein Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I was just thinking... I have enough stunt helmets, but I'd like to make a hero one. Is it possible to turn a TM stunt face plate into a hero one? What possibilities do I have? Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 The shape is a bit different (the face, the cap and back are the same or similar). And the stunt has a more pronounced eye bump under the right eye. You could smooth out the eye bump (heat and bend it down), fill in the furthest left and right tooth gap (glue plastic from inside), paint a smaller pointier frown, add 3 bump hero ears and add bubble lenses.

geordietrooper Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 the tm has the eye bump ? Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Sell the extra stunt faceplate, buy a good hero faceplate. That is hands down the best option, all other options are only half-way decent... Got any pics of your stunt helmet collection, Karin? Always nice to see the line-up . Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 TM makes a good hero helmet so again I would sell what you have and get the hero. Check Tk4510 thread for converting a stunt TE2 into a hero Quote
SW1 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Yes as Dennis said please show us your lid collection Queeny and as others have said Karin i would go for a TM Hero , iam not just saying that because i have one , i have had a few Hero lids and out of them the TM imho is the best for looking like what we see on the screen .

JoeR Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 The TM hero's look awesome. Check KEITH's build up thread of the archive helmet. And yes Karin pictures please! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks everybody! A know I complete new helmet is best, but I'm always trying to save money. The teeth are not cut out yet, I thought maybe pushing the plastic back could work without destroying the glossy finish... as for pics, I have'nt finished any of them. They're asssembleb mostly, but certain things keep me from finishing them, like correct trims (I know where to get them, but money is tight ATM) correct lighting gel ( not so easy to come by) a decent HDPE color (duh!) sa screws I have 1 A'P (with severe scratches during assemble, needs to be painted) maybe go sandy 1 ATA assembled, going chipped ESB 1 CAP-W assembled by the maker, going ANH chipped 1 restaurated VT, started ESB, don't know really what to do 1 TM stunt, still in box, maybe going for "idealized display wanting: 1 hero helmet 1 JoeR ROTJ Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I think the AP lends itself better for a Hero than the TE2, which took Mike a loooot of work. TM is even better tho... Quote
