Episode 7 Rebel Pilot Helmet

[MoSc0ut]

So I found this at Target today and snapped a few pics!
I have some pics of the flight suit if anyone wants to see those too. It's just a toy put the helmet looks pretty spot on minus the mic.

Really liking this helmet design too! It's not a pilot but it looks interesting

I don't know why I didn't just buy the figure..... Probably because of the look my wife gave me as I was snapping these pictures!

I am with Frank....it looks like a Ski Helmet etc. With this new picture you can see some more details.

Hmmm... take a close look. The silver part on the brow plate (where the starbird emblem is) is three dimensional. It appears to be slightly recessing into the brow plate!

Or a DH-412 helmet, for the visor housing:

I've been looking into making this helmet as well.. Talking to one of my friends he recommended this helmet to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TK-Chinese-...dult-M-L-XL-/331662570197?hash=item4d38a132d5

After looking at it.... I can see the same shape and the short visor size which to me makes me believe that this could definitely be the base helmet. Not to find one with an orange/amber visor

Im leaning towards a combination to make this helmet. the dh-412 or bph-1 lens shield combined with the deisel agv helmet:

Also the lense appears to come from a snow mobile helmet


Honestly though I just don't know there is something about the side of the helmet and the back

 

[MoSc0ut]

I think the AVG helmet has the right shape (great find eagle eye!) but it looks like maybe it was used as the base then a layer was sculpted on top. Note the depression on the rear center ("reverse mowhawk"?) and that the brow plate depression (silver part with star bird emblem) continues onto the helmet from the visor. Where the visor is attached it also is sculpted/cut around that. Also there are the cuts out where there are some greeblies on the rear and right side as well as cut outs on the ears both sides. The brow plate appears to be riveted on, possibly a custom manufactured piece?? Even the lenses on the AVG helmet are roughly the same shape. I think that the Chinese helmet may have been the inspiration, but in my opinion isn't the "base helmet". But it's all guesses just like everyone else. I guess that's why we have these discussion and we'll eventually get there.

I'd love to get one of the AGV helmets and experiment. But that's a lot of coin to drop on an experiment. Maybe I can find a used one somewhere.

I've recently purchased an old SPH-4 helmet. Any ideas on who to contact about commissioning a conversion on this thing?

No luck on mine so far. I've done "mock" cuts on the helmet and haven't gotten satisfactory results. I think the helmet was pretty heavily modified.

Hello folks. I was among the first to see the new ‘Star Wars: Costume Exhibit’ in New York this weekend. I took some pics, however, NO flash was allowed and the low light conditions reeked havoc on my shooting skills. Also, the costume are displayed with the backs to wall, so getting behind them was impossible. And there was proximity alarm surrounding them. I kept setting them off when I leaned in for detailed pics. This was the best I could do so far. I hope a good photographer will post better pics here soon. But this is what I have so far. I plan to go back and try again. I live about 30 mins from Manhattan and the exhibit is there until Sept.2016! Go see it, its awesome. Just google ticket info.

Yeah, this is exactly the reason I feel like I should seek out a higher talent than myself. I know it can be done (close anyway) but I just don't trust myself to do it lol

Personally, I've had my Richie's Armor pilot helmet since 2009 and still quite happy with it. I agree that it's very delicate but I've never had it break in any way. I'm just careful with it.

Try using HGU-39 HELICOPTER helmet would be good base to start.

I've been goofing around with the SPH-4 shells I have. The shelles would require extensive modification to be used. I think they started with these helmets, but not sure it'll be practical for most people to use them as a base unless they have significant Skillz.

Awesome I been meaning to jump on it build one too.
