NAZGÛL Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Looks great! Thats a cool helmet. Quote
dougefresh Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 That looks fantastic, Mark! Is it just me, or do the HDPE helmets have a slightly different character than the ABS and styrene ones? They seem a bit squatter to me. I dig it! Quote
sskunky Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Posted September 27, 2009 Looks great! Thats a cool helmet. Cheers Matti. I've just given it another coat of Appliance white which is slightly off white and has a great gloss. I think the originals look slightly creamy white not brilliant white so I have opted for that. It gives it that slightly older look which I like. I'll take some more pics tomorrow in good light and post them up. Quote

The HDPE do certainly have a different look to all my others . All my others are ABS. I'll take a couple of comparison shots against my SDS tomorrow and post them up if you like. I think the tubes tend to be fatter giving the overall face shape a slightly squatter look. :excl: Quote

And the cap n' back, of course, is much more defined. And the back has such a nice, swooping bell shape. Awesome. I love the bumpy look for a sandy, but I love the added detail in the traps and the ridge for a clean TK. Post up all the pics you want! I love lookin' at this stuff. Can't wait to see it all finished out! Quote
sskunky Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah it looks great and I'm chuffed I got one of these HDPEs from Matt they really have a unique look. I'm going ESB with this one as I don't have one yet . I have a ANH SFS lid and armor and a ROTJ lid coming from Matt. I managed to get him to persuade his mate that pulled his old ANH sets years ago to sell me his as it was just sitting in the garage. I've been waiting since last December for it to be trimmed, painted, strapped, packed and shipped to me. He has assured me it's coming soon. Quote
sskunky Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Posted September 27, 2009 I'm going to finish the gloss of with this http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/images/PRO...edium/15130.gif has anyone used it before? Quote
Darth_Finger Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Still blown away at how sharp this helmet is. Really dig how this helmet looks. Always had a soft spot for HDPE helmets Quote
sskunky Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 Here are some comparison shots of my TE HDPE & SDS Quote
sskunky Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 Hey Johnny, the comparisons are up mate....... Quote
Ghost Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Looking good! As mentioned that is a sharp pull, and looks so shiney!!! Quote
Darth_Finger Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Wow that is amazing. There really are a lot of differences between the two. Great pics Quote
