MartinSivertsen[501st] Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Looking good! Looks like it came straight from the propdepartment in 1976 Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 andrew anisworth sent one of these off to get painted. or maybe in a dream. Quote
PGHtrooper21 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 I like how the eyes have some excess trim arround the eyes. It looks AWESOME! Andy Quote
DudeSidious Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Thats a bit of a risky place to be leaving that beauty. Edited June 27, 2012 by DudeSidious Quote
JoeR Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Awesome mate, now rust those screws out, paint it and get it chipped and dirty! That faceplate is immense in very way!!!! Quote
Lone wolf[TK] Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Brilliant looking lid, it is not so long ago we saw the original just like this and how we wished for an accurate replica, this is as good as it gets! Quote
RS Prop Masters Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Stephen, looks great. I built one today and it is really nice to work with as you say. As the plastic is that more supple it seems to work with you in ways abs just wont. So the shape is not as cast in and more easily manipulated together. I am pretty pleased with the results for sure Quote
troopermaster Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Beautiful helmet Steve. You sure do have some pretty things in your ever growing collection! This has to be the best helmet anyone could ever want. Great work Rob and Si Quote
vecspeed12 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Looks really noce steve! Im excited to work on mine. I will be painting mine. Quote
Madmartigan Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 A thing of beauty! Man...you guys are really tempting me to have two RS buckets... Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 resist urge... step away from the paypal button slowly... back... back... Quote

Locitus[Admin] Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 I wish they could source more of the plastic, and at cheaper prices. No doubt that for the ultimate accuracy amongst the hardcore collectors price is of little issue, but it is pretty pricy for the others of us. Either way, these helmets are no doubt a milestone in TK history. Quote
AJCG Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 Absolutely frigging amazing...are you sure you didn't go back in time and stole them from the movie sets ? Great job! Cheers A Quote
Turrican Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 Looks nice, how think is the material? Quote

Turrican Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Hi Stefan iam measuring the thickness of the PP Lids to be 1mm correct me if iam wrong RS ! , i tell you what mate when i rivited this baby together its got to be one of the sturdest and solid lid's i have made or owned Thank's for the info Stephen. 1mm...that sounds quite thin.So i guess it's more a display piece.

RS Prop Masters Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 They are 1.5mm. As Stephen said, once built they are very sturdy, this plastic is unlike Abs and hips. Rob. Quote
