HamanKhan Posted May 11, 2016 Report Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) The idea of a seamless trooper helmet is appealing to me, I've worked with resin products before and have seen this for a while. I figure I'd let the community take a gander and let me know what im looking at! heres the listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/222102965645?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edited May 11, 2016 by HamanKhan Quote
ABS80 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) First off its not movie accurate, looks like a reworked recast, the one piece makes it look really cheap/toyish, reminds me of a cheap halloween helmets, all the separate components with visible seams and screws is what makes it look like a real functional helmet, its easier/cheaper to cast in one solid resin piece, TBH not worth spending $125 for a non accurate resin helmet which will require to be fully painted white, I see no positive aspects beside not needing assembly.

Jinsei[TK] Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Not only that, how on earth are you supposed to add the brow trim? Quote
HamanKhan Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 That is a very good point might be a mess out of the box, and tbo the picture even used in the listing is probably not the helmet ill receive. Ebay is a love hate relationship... Thank you for the expertise! It will spare me some grief! Quote
Ranger Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Anyone seen this?<br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.etsy.com/listing/256825882/stormtrooper-helmet-cast-kit-star-wars?ref=shop_home_active_7'>https://www.etsy.com/listing/256825882/stormtrooper-helmet-cast-kit-star-wars?ref=shop_home_active_7</a> Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Why buy that when you can get a proper helmet for just a little more? Quote
Ranger Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Not interested in buying, just adding to the resin conversation Quote
HamanKhan Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 That one solves the brow problem.. looks better than the one i posted too. Its truly amazing the amount of clones/copies of trooper helmets there are out there. so many pit falls to avoid. I'm currently looking at a Anovos helmet Quote
