ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Hi everyone I have been working on my TE2 helmet that I recently bought. I sprayed it over the weekend and finished up painting the hand details tonight and snapped a few pics of it next to my ANH TE2 helmet before I went over to my GFs house. I still have a little work left to do on it. I have to pin stripe around the ears and paint the ranks on it, switch out to some flat welding lenses, add fans, frown mesh and padding. Should be done with it this weekend. Then I have to work on my E-11! ESB Elite here I come! Any who here are the pics hope you all like. Quote
FIVE[501st] Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Very nice man!! Does the ANH bucket needs the eyes trimmed out a bit more? It looks like there's an "edge" to it that the ESB one doesn't have. But they look great! Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 The ANH is supposed to to look a littlle more rough. I suppose that I could trim it out a little more but I like it like that, it makes it look much meaner compared to my ESB helmet. Quote
HPDblues[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 ...it makes it look much meaner compared to my ESB helmet. Hahaha!! "Meaner" I like that! I hope you're enjoying your buckets... T Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 I sure am enjoying them. Thanks again Tony. Quote
darth 456 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 These are great looking helmets!!! Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Very impressive collection! Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Way to go - nothing beats a pair of killer TE2 buckets (unless you have three ;-)) Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Paul I might get a third one eventually. I'll be posting up more pics of it tonight after I have added the frown mesh and paint the ranks on the ears and pin striped. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 Nice work on the lids Thanks Mark, hoping to get my ESB elite done soon. Quote
troopermaster Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Nice helmets Thayne, but don't forget about the ESB decals Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 Nice helmets Thayne, but don't forget about the ESB decals I know, I am going to be ordering some from Mike ASAP. Quote
TK8280 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 great looking helmets Thayne! are you going to give the ESB the chipped paint look too? Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 great looking helmets Thayne! are you going to give the ESB the chipped paint look too? Thanks Bernard. I thought about doing that but chose not to at the last moment. I am not even sure how I could achieve that now that it is painted. Quote
tk0000[501st] Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 Great work. Love the ESB helmet! Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 Hi Thayne, You got it! Looks awesome. I've got to get me one of those. Quote

Bezerkus Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 Those look great Thayne! I also like how you trimmed your eyes on the ANH...they do look meaner Some originals were like that... Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks Kirk, thats the pic that made me not trim out the eyes more. I like that look a lot. It definitely looks meaner that way. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Posted November 16, 2008 I put on a set of Mike's ESB decals on yesterday and they look awesome on the helmet. They really complete the ESB look. Any who here are some pics I snapped this morning. Mike's ESB decals on a TE2: Quote
