TriumphTrooper8[501st] Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 I have an extra AM helmet kit and after building a full suit I see some considerable differences between it and what was used on the screen. Who provides the best and previously mentioned most accurate kit? I read some where that the AM bucket is a little bit bigger than the original? Quote
Nagedzi[TK] Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 You'd be hard pressed to find a more accurate helmet than RS Propmasters, considering the forms are directly cast from a screen worn bucket.... Quote
walt[501st] Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 Or a gino lid...send me a pm Quote
MClass Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 Or a gino lid...send me a pm Lol I hope you're joking. As someone who owns a Gino V2, it's good but not the best in terms of accuracy. Don't let Gino tell you otherwise. Anyway, the most accurate ANH/ESB helmet is from RS Prop Masters. No contest. http://starwarshelmets.com/rs_prop_masters__armour_and_helmets.htm Quote
Raintrooper Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 Definitely RS or TM for the most accurate buckets.. Or you could go ATA or CAP-W, made in the US. Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 RSprops all the way. Quote

iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 Gino lid is great for sure... I own TE2, Gino, TM, RS, ATA and CapW... And I must say that even if the Gino has awesome details, and the TM is a piece of art by itself, the most accurate (of the ones I own) has to be the HDPE RS. Nothing beats the details on it. TM and Gino (the version with all the texture) mi second favs, but I guess if they were made out of HDPE instead of ABS, the details would be even better. That for the Stunt version of course. The best Hero bucket has to be TM's no doubt. MHO. Saludos. Quote
TriumphTrooper8[501st] Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) My reasoning behind the thought of another maker of said "Bucket" was and don't get me wrong I enjoyed building my helmet, but with it being a three piece and the ears not as tight fitting to the helmet I really want it to be more like the original. I looked up Gino, AP and RS and well RS is not cheap and buying from the UK is never a pleasant experience.....tons and thousands of $$$$$$ in Triumph car parts from the UK! I like the AP helmet so I guess I will get a price for their kit. Gino looked fine? Another thought I am running around in circles in my head is do I need a more accurate helmet or is this one fine? Still having the seam in the rear and those ears is lingering in my mind.......In the end I just love being a TK! -------------- Edited January 14, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
walt[501st] Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Lol....ears......thats a hard one on any bucket....yours does look fine from the side snd the other thing i would say...stick with what you have all plastic is a slightly different white from maker to maker and from one run to an other Quote
