@BigTurk lead me to the seller of this, AP Stormtrooper bucket...

Originally it was for a Star Wars themed party for everyone to sign, but that fell apart, and now I'm just going to finish is at best I can for display/future wearing.

I read up a bunch on how to put these together, and I think for this one I'm just going for a simple build. Cut it all up as best I can, paint, and pad the interior... maybe put a voice changer in.

I consider this an intro helmet... hopefully I won't get super into it and then next thing I've got 20 of these around, heh.

I have an Anovos kit with the preassembled helmet. The helmet needs a bit of touching up because it was hastily cut out and the internal mount isn't up to par. I need to get around to cutting out the kit and putting it together.

once I saw this, I had to get it. Is this an ATA helmet? If so, I'm working on the same. I will be following your progress as mine is still in the box. I just finished my E11 blaster.

I will take a photo of my kit. its an interior kit designed to look like the master replicas helmet. once I saw it installed I had to get it. I highly recommend joining the fsid if only to build your helmet. there are a bunch of sales threads for little money to help with little parts you may need. builders tips and a great group of people are more than willing to help out. I built my blaster from the site and I will be working on my helmet soon.

The full kit is 85.

The picture shown is just a reference and the kit doesn't have padding or the detail shown around the eyes.

It does have the ears, side tubes and other parts shown in my photo

So I started getting ready for my innevitable move, and tried organizing the boxes of parts I have scattered around my place. Some boxes I haven't opened since I packed to move into my current place a year ago, and others I just filled and put in the closet unlabeled.

So it's fun going through these boxes and remembering spare parts you had from buys and trades that you just tossed into a shoe box thinking "eh... I could try using this on a custom build or something"...

Anyway, getting to the point....

After I got through the 5th shoebox of parts I realized I actually had all the parts, minus a clamp, for this:

Hilarious. I swear if someone asked if I had any spare Obi parts I'd have said "Well I know I have a grenade I blue'd... but I think that's it.

So what to do with this?

I think I'm going to order a clamp, wire up Spirit of Obiwan's crystal chamber, and weather the crap out of this.

Eventually I'd like to talk @scottjua into accepting a commission for a full efx and chamber version, but for now this will do. I can't be buying more sabers until I've finished building the current collection.

I mean if I have all the parts for an obi around without knowing it, then I clearly have too many projects on the go already.

How much? Got a big fat check in so if it is under 300 I can bite.

NeoRutty said:

How much what? a ScottJua commission? A LOT. Worth it if you actually had the cash, and maybe I will one day, but one day WAY down the line.

I haven't gotten that far yet but I have been looking at padding sets on ebay. They come in pieces so I was planning on starting with the crown and filling in till its a nice fit. I'm on the big side as well, 6'3 220 so I understand our issues with comfort and fitting. I may just start mine now so we can see each others progress. The fisd is a great tool. I just finished my blaster and you can see it on my scatter build thread
