RS Prop Masters Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 I just wanted to share the results of our project now we are at the end of what has been around two years of research and development. I did post these up on Facebook, but maybe not all of you have liked are page yet - http://www.facebook.com/RS.Prop.Masters feel free FB users to see what we are upto. Anyway, we are really pleased with the results. There were many issues to get over, not least the way to form this pretty nasty plastic and get a consistently good result. We also wanted to make sure we did not achieve the wide face look, we just kept pushing till we had the best replica of Simon's helmet we could get. It has been a huge learning curve, but I think we achieved our goal in the end. Please Enjoy. Quote

troopermaster Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Your persistance with this plastic has definitely paid off. These are no doubt the best replicas ever made and I don't think anyone could make a better helmet. They look fantastic! Great work guys Quote
JoeR Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Really superb work, it's taken years to get there, but the community now has the ultimate replica. That table is porn for plastic nerds! Quote

vecspeed12 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Just ordered mine as well. I wanted a pvc version of a RS but im glad i waited. Really excited for this! Quote
Stormy320 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Just got mine. Wow. Helmet is what I always wanted and great service. I got to hold an original and this has that much more solid feel about it like an original. It's the right size too. Big ! Detail is great and has all the odd bumps. The plastic is thin behind the aerators, so I might beef that up some. Very sharp details. Question: I always thought the originals got the bumps from the HDPE plastic. Where did the bumps come from.

vecspeed12 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Got mine today too. Awesome helmet. I had to start on it right away. I'll never get to hold an original but this has to be the closest. Quote
