Buck Rogers Starfighter helmet

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:thumbsup
 
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.:unsure
 
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 :lol 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 a$$ in high gear.
