I know you ended this run but if you would decide to start another, I'm interested.

Done / Completed **Closed**TFA: Melted Vader Helmet (MasterEdi V2)
- Thread starter MasterEdi
- Start date
There will be no 2nd run, per se... By the end of February the first run will all be completed, I'm working on Helmet #4 now. I basically have time to do one Helmet a week, so I can put you on the current waitlist but it may be quite awhile before I can get to you. It depends on who drops out, or who does not have funds available when I start contacting individuals on the interest list. At the beginning of March, I will contact the first 5 on the interest list for the month March, then the next 5 in April, the next 5 in May, and so on... If, for some reason, you cannot pay at the time of contact, you will have to go to the back of the line. There are too many that want this sculpt. I suggest those on the interest list to plan accordingly... Thank you all for your kind support and patience!

Seems I forgot to specify, but painted/finished for mine, please! :thumbsup
Things still on track for sometime in March? (No rush just curious.) And is my Prop Shop-style microchip and giant wooden crate ready? :lol

I promised photos but I was just so busy since I got the helmet. Couldn't get round to posting some photos until today. It took a long journey to get to me, but totally no regrets! If you've got a Black Series Kylo Ren helmet, it's a bit bigger, a lot heavier and just has that unexplainable...presence. The photos simply don't do justice to that imposing feel you get just looking at it. (Not a professional photographer and haven't found the right setting for the piece, so apologies if the pics don't come out as well as I hoped!)
Thanks for the fantastic piece, MasterEdi! Now I gotta find something similar to the stand you used to prop up the helmet for display, Edi

... Things have slowed down lately, just due to my 'real' work , but next week I'm taking off to work exclusively on helms. If I'm late, it should be only by about a week, at most 2... my apologies, I know everyone wants theirs, but I would really like to take my time on these.... Ryusho, looks awesome next to the Ren!... (PS no crates, as far as chips, will Doritos work? Lol... but I am looking for better packing, especially overseas, some have had small bits broken, which is never good! These are solid but delicate too) Sorry for any delays
I don't mind putting you on the list, but at this time it's doubtful I would be able to produce it till next year...

Slowing down is always good for sanity's sake, I think.
And considering the delays from all the big licensed companies seem to be months or years, I don't think anyone will mind! :lol

True! And besides the first batch I haven't taken anyone's money!... so hopefully that helps too!

Personally, I'm in no rush. I know your work, & it's amazing! These are hand made works of art, & I have no doubt that they won't be anything less than perfect. Rushing through, will bring nothing good. You have my complete trust :cheers

Here's what I picked up from Amazon -- "Ape Case Mobile Device Stand for Tablets - Black (ACS711T)". I'm next on the list to ship so I'll post pictures soon when it arrives on how it works.

Ditto... and being an owner of one of your V1 helmet's I know the craftsmanship & passion that you put into each piece, these truly are works of art from a master craftsman... and if that means "39(... and way out here in the middle of nowhere is Timbuktu)" haha waits a little longer for another amazing piece I am more than happy to wait as I am sure everyone else who knows your work...
Quality over speed & quantity any day

For those of us getting the unpainted version, do they come ready to paint or do you recommend washing the helmet before painting. I watched the painting video from the V1 run. I know the helmet is cleaned up and assembled but is the mask and dome separate for ease of painting, or all glued together in one piece before painting?
*edit -- ah saw the earlier post about the parts glued and sculpted together.
