Well, I'm blown away :thumbsup

Wow. That looks great!

 

[spacebob]

Thanks guys still not finished, haven't even touched the dome yet, but looks good for the money.
Most importantly it's the right size which is the biggest problem with even good Vader casts

Spacebob... You just disproved your own theory!!!

your paintup looks amazing!

brushed silver parts over solid black base is all I've ever seen.

the original was all black. The Gunmetal was an afterthought so the shapes would POP out better under 70's lighting.

Rich... That is just awesome. Get that out of here!

Hi! I'd love to polish mine a little bit. I saw that someone used Mother's brand car wax? I wasn't able to find it at my local parts store. Can you recommend any other types of polish or wax that would be good to try?

I've been using Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner on mine with good results. Mist lightly on the helmet, smooth on using one side of a cotton terry or microfiber towel, flip the towel over and wipe surface dry. Provides a nice smooth shine that highlights the subtleties of the helmet's shape giving it some extra "pop" without making it too glossy.

Looks great.

Has anyone tried going over the gunmetal on the standard edition with some steel wool to see if it gives it the brushed look?

 

[sskunky]

Mine finally arrived. Although I still haven't had a reply from the emails I sent.
Pleased I got something for the money I've put down for a scout. But it ain't the scout legend I'm holding that's for sure. :rolleyes

I suspect it would result in a "scratched plastic" look. I wouldn't try it! Repainting it probably the best option. But if anyone were to try an abrasive method, gray Scotch Brite pad would be a better choice.

I have been riding the fence on these helmets and re visited efx site/

I read the following update:
October 15, 2016
The new container with the Special Edition helmet will arrive in Los Angeles this week. After customs it will be available on our website.


is this something newdifferent? or just restocking of an out of stock item

 

[Kylash]

Special Edition is back in stock.

 

[Trilan]

Does anyone know if the new batch has an updated C scar?

Special Edition is back in stock.

 

[Kylash]

Yeah I would be much more inclined to buy this if I knew what it would actually look like, changed or not.

 

[icemanfredtm]

Is there supposed to be a revised c scar on future helmets????

 

[SpyderDan]

I ordered the Special Edition yesterday, and got the shipping notice today. Will post pics when it arrives.
