Wow...what a loaded question. Well, since you're a noob, I'll spare you the inevitable flaming that will arise from your question.
I've had one and suffice it to say, that JB makes a very nice lid with beautiful paintwork IMO...his ESB seems to be from a trusted source cast (20th Century) and looks the part. There's a few things that are off IMO (i.e. widow's peak cut too short, shade of gunmetal too light) but overall one of the better ESB lids out there.
Bottom line is if you're happy with it, that's all that matters.....

I have a JB V2 which is the same faceplate just a smaller chin vent and the same kind of helmet (GH-derived).
When I got it I was generally pleased with the overall quality although the helmet had paint issues. As far as ESB goes I think it's the best you can expect to find at this point at least among the advertised fan-made helmets (better for example than a certain helmet that no longer shall here be named
). There will be one-offs that are likely better.... Gino's ESB helmet comes to mind. But on the whole if you don't mind the source then it's a fine helmet. As far as accuracy...well as mentioned that can lead to heated debate :angel . I don't know of a really ultra-screen accurate ESB helmet available since the market has for some time been content with Don Post Deluxe and it's derivatives.

The JB is personally the best ESB lid I have seen, although as Thomas mentioned there are not a lot of fan made ESB lids to choose from
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the DP Deluxe cast from a ROTJ lid?

Simply upload the picture to that site and then paste one of the links into the reply box over here... or... as mentioned elsewhere... below the message box is a section called "File Attachments". I think you can upload your pictures from there and have them displayed in your message. Good luck.
Thanks for sharing pics btw. :thumbsup

You can even use my file hosting service, it makes those nifty thumbnails and everything

upload your files and click <thumb> when you find it on the list (thumbnailing doesnt work for images that have spaces in the filename yet)
Lets see some more pics.
