    Nov 21, 2008 - Buck Rogers Starfighter helmet #1

    So there have been a couple of obscure mentions of this in the past and at least one really nice prototype out there somewhere...

    Has anybody finished a Directorate Thunderfighter helmet? Has anyone ever offered up a kit?

    I'm jonesin' on a pretty serious Buck Rogers nostalgia kick.

    I would love to have one of those myself, that and a good kit of an original BSG helmet (that I can afford) are both high on my list of things to get

    Hmmm... methinks I'd be willing to do mold-making for someone who has an original or a replica...

    The man you seek used to hang out here pretty often a few years back. Anyone remember Houston Robocop? I remember when he recieved one of the hero helmets and cast up a couple before our meeting with Erin Grey and Gil Gerard for them to sign our helmets. Gosh, I haven't heard from him in about 6 months. I think he just got caught up with his restaraunt and took a break from the hobby. I THINK he was the only person to ever produce them and he only did a couple. I wish I could be more help.

    Well, if anyone knows Houston Robocop and can get in touch with him, please ask him to drop by!

    Maybe we've got the makings of a new project!

    Sorry, Gordon, Armando... I would of been here sooner...


    but I was In a freak accident about 2 years ago....


    It was the year 2006, NASA launched the last of America's deep space probes "Ranger 3". Aboard this compact starship a lone astronaut Captain "Houston Robocop", was to experience cosmic forces beyond all comprehension. In a freak mishap, his life support systems were frozen by temperatures beyond imagination. Ranger 3 was blown out of its planned trajectory into an orbit a thousand times more vast: an orbit which was to return him to Earth in time for Christmas 2008."


    Just kidding Good to be back!

    Yeah, I'll be here more frequently from now on.

    My backlog of props are just screaming for me to finish them, and the pressure from you guys here on the forum will help me to get my ***** in high gear.

    Stay well clear of Houston Robocop unless you want to risk being ripped off.

    Was that run ever finished?

    Looks like a few were left out in the wind.

    For what it's worth, I talked to him yesterday and he says there are only 2 helmets that didn't get shipped. They should be in the mail soon.

    I know him personally and he's had some real difficulties with business and family. You hear that all the time and it's no excuse but Nick's a good guy and won't be ripping anyone off. If I didn't know him and his family, I would think the worst also.
