Just finished my urethane CA helmet, still a few details to add to make it more accurate, I'm waiting for a smaller and more accurate release buckle, also after some research I noticed that the female part of the buckle should be attached on the left hand side when wearing helmet and the male part of the buckle on the chin strap section. Also did my own stencils for the "A" and Wings scanned from a movie still which are more accurate and correct to size, the ones that came with the kit were innaccurate and a bit too big. The photos make it look a bit too clean, It's way more weathered in person.

Don't suppose you chronicled the step-by-step process as to how you created your amazingly cool helmet, yes/no?

If not, what would be a good resource documenting the process you used to create the helmet?



Thanks,


TOM

Sorry for the late reply,

Yes Finhead is the master behind this beautful helmet, this is the most accurate sculpt available, fits like a glove, and the leather work is top notch.

Clinton thanks for making these available, you know I appreciate your work:thumbsup

Heh - this is my first post; I've been lurking about for a bit.

I have to say, your paint job and work on the stenciling is really great. A lot of the stenciling work, as you stated, on many of the TFA helmets is usually too big (if you're talking about screen accuracy). What did you use for your stenciling system to get those nice, crisp lines?

Also, in a lot of the pics online and looking at the film on blu-ray, the "A" and the wings don't seem to be pure white or at least, not painted onto the helmet completely opaque so they don't appear pure white - they're appearance seems be just off white a bit (I'm sure this a discussion that has been already had at some point). Curious to know what you think.
