Yep, no rush. It looks incredible already! I'm certain this one will be my all time favorite prop.

Haha thought 2 and a half weeks was a bit ambitious! Don't rush and I'm sure we can all wait! Progress looks amazing so far! I have made a prototype propshop base for it already and am working on making final versions either from aluminium or steel, not sure which yet... also will be making a alternate base styled on the hot toys version lol. Will post pics when that’s done

Cool!
Digital home release of the movie is only 3 weeks away anyway, which will be good for painting detail and maybe picking out some finer molding details if you want better references.

I could certainly do a few of them if it’s something others would be interested in?

That’s the next one on my list however I’m still in debate about what to make that one out of...
I’d definitely be interested in one! Such an epic helmet is going to require a quality display in the house!

Ok let me see what I can come up with. My only worry is that they won’t fit so I’d rather have a helmet in hand before making the final versions for others for obvious reasons.

I don't know what D+ will be doing regarding this movie. I'm talking about on digital platforms like vudu/amazon/etc.
It'll be easy to get clearer references then.

Hey masteredi just been searching for reference for one of the stands and came across someone selling a prop shop helmet. There’s some pics from unusual angles on there and didn’t know if they’d help you in any way.
Also to everyone else I'm going to go take a trip up to a fabrication centre on Monday/Tuesday to get the prop shop stands priced up so at least we can have an idea of cost and gauge interest from there. I will be doing as much of the work myself as possible to keep cost down however some bits will have to be done by a company. Will report back once i have an idea.
Also masteredi let me know which style of stand you'd like if any and i will more than happily send you one as a thank you from me and the community for doing this amazing 3rd run!
Either way here’s the pics i found

Thanks everyone who has helped with reference! I appreciate it! I’m almost satisfied... I’m very happy with how the sculpt has gone. Is it perfect? Sorry but no. But it’s the best I can give you all....
There are some subtle differences I should mention between the TFA version and TROS version. Overall it’s the same helmet, plus or minus a few details.
First of all, there is the embedded twisted wire in the left cheek, which I mentioned in a previous post.
Second, there are no separate long strings of wire like the TFA version had on its left side cheek.
Third, on the right side cheek there is a new small piece of shrapnel.
Overall, I feel the helmet has softer details in comparison to the TFA version. I’m not sure if it’s just the paint job that makes it feel that way, or if it’s the texture of the cast/3D print.

Masteredi it looks amazing! I wish I had even half your sculpting talent! The only thing I have got to ask is if it would be possible to have the option for the wire thingy on its left hand side as that’s one detail I personally loved. Either way amazing job again! Hats off!!
