Accurate Maximus helmet?

[Stinky Dragon]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get an accurate Maximus helmet. I've been looking around ebay and other stores, and there are some that look nice and are pretty close, but they're all off on one thing or another... mohawk too pointy, spikes too big/small/not in the right place, etc.

Though I never molded it or have made any copies yet, I did one out of bronze about 3 years ago.

I wouldnt say its super accurate but fairly, I need to do a second version and tweak a bunch of things but this was my 1st ever helmet I attempted.

wow you did a good job on that. I bet its pretty heavy huh?

Looks great I like it alot.

That's awesome! It's solid bronze? I bet it's really heavy... makes a fantastic display, though. Great work! :cool

Just found this helmet. Does anyone happen to know who made it? Or is it made by the guys from this site?

Yep solid bronze, she weights in easily at 25 maybe 30lbs

I think the most accurate (wearable) maximus helmet came out of the FX factory. Try find one of those, there not spot on but much better than the one you listed.

Once Im done with the 300 helmets, i maybe revamp the orignal bronze helmet and make it more screen accurate, but that will be some time down the road
