NewTrooper2 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Slightly off topic. Does anyone have info or links on how one could go about building a replica of the helmets the rebel troopers wore at the beginning of Star Wars A New Hope? You know, the ones who unsuccessfully tried to repel Vaders' invading forces on the Blockade Runner. I know replicas can be bought, but I wanted to see if one could be built for a reasonable cost at home. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sincerely, NewTrooper2. Quote
senna1rossi[TK] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 why? are you looking into joining the rebels....? scum... maybe Rebel Legion? Quote
darksideemt Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I thought they were the same as the Imperial Navy helmet just painted white. Rebel legion would be the best place to look/ask. Quote
Tray[TK] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Rebel Legion is the best place to look but building one sounds a lot harder and way more expensive that just buying a kit or prebuilt helmet. The only one I know of that I would consider is one made by MonCal. I am sure you can send a PM to him from here. Although he isn't a very active member he does reply when he gets a chance. I know he gets a lot of PM's and emails so be patient if you do try and make contact. Quote
bjsavage7[TK] Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I got my kit from tk560.com. I believe he still makes them, and at a good price. I was pleased with mine. Tambo also makes them. Quote
NewTrooper2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for the help everyone. No,my heart is Imperial, but I enjoy all the helmet replicas. I enjoy the challenge if building them, so, the rebel helmets seemed like intriguing build designs. Again, any help always appreciated. Sincerely, NewTrooper2. Quote
