TM HERO HELMET

[keith]

I've just finished this hero helmet. I got it in untrimmed kit form from Troopermaster. The helmet is white ABS plastic which i buffed up a bit to give it a bit more of a shine.

 

I have trimmed, assembled and detailed it to match the promo hero helmet.

 

All markings are hand painted. The tube stripes are airbrushed on. The only changes i made to the helmet parts was a bit of sharpening of the frown to match the real one better. I used my own lenses and mic tips. (i don't have anymore lenses before anyone asks).

 

Painting the markings on a trooper helmet is quite easy, but when you are trying to match them to a real helmet, it can be a pain. Getting the tube stripes to start in the right place, end in the right place, have the correct number of stripes with correct spacing and shapes takes time! Same with the traps and tears.

 

I'm really happy with this helmet. If i ever do another one, i'll match the real promo helmet 100% with all the scratches, glue marks and pitting.

 

Anyway, onto the pics:

Some photos on the mannequin. I don't know why the tube stripes look so light, they're dark blue in person:

Great to see a well done hero helmet.

[firebladejedi[TK]]

Awesome attention to detail here keith, very well done.

 

It look so convincing you could almost pass this off as an original

I need to see more photos to form an opinion.

[BFA]

Quality work there keith !

That's a fantastic looking bucket

[keith]

Thanks everyone

I really love this helmet and it was cool working on it. I want to build another one........or two

 

BTW, any faults in the trimming, assembly and paint are copied from the original promo hero helmet. Things like the seam showing behind the left ear and the way the front traps are painted and so on.

 

Thanks,

 

Keith.

Same here, dunno why really. That is an awesome bucket, tho!

Looks great! Very mean looking. I've always liked the hero look, the low brow just adds a touch of menace to the face.
