A hot air gun - would a hair dryer work?

If you do get a helmet with marks on it from the bubblewrap, either let it set out in the sun or carefully go over it with a hot air gun.  Worked like a charm for mine and it's held up ever since.

....or just let it sit in the sunlight for a couple of hours....

A token remedial response to four pages of public trials and tribulations. After it's forgotten and the next batch of unsuspecting RPF members line up, we'll be at this all over again in six months....

Fingers crossed for you Craig. If there are marks from the bubblewrap they should polish out - mine did

Cheers

Jez, thanks man. I'm hoping this is it. It would be nice for this mess to be over.

Eli, no problem. I'll post updates to this thread whether I receive it or not.

Good luck to all those waiting for product or a refund.

My JB Helmet has arrived..... After almost 2 1/2 years, finally it is here..

At first glance, it looks good, and there doesn't seem to be any paint issues from the bubble wrap. :thumbsup

Pics to follow later tonight.

Good luck in not thinking of it as a "war trophy" from now on as I do mine...

Picture taking isn't my thing, but here it is, dust and all. The pictures really don't do it justice. I'm really happy with it. Well, I shouldn't talk long; I really need to spend some quality time with it I mean I've been waiting over two years. We have a lot of catching up to do.

Which version is it..?? The tusks look a bit wonky.

 

[Vaapad_VII]

That's an ANH - at least it better be, or it has issues :confused

 

[rmschneider104]

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing pics. Glad to hear that JB is taking care of some things.

There are no metal tusks on the ends of the tubes. Looks like standard JB...

 

[KevVader]

...the tusks should be taped to the head strap.....nice ANH lid.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Clutch - Yeah, vader71 is right...I haven't put the tusks in yet. They seemed like a tight fit to me...I'm a little nervous about forcing them in. To your point though, the helmet does look a little off without them.

That's JB's first version of his ANH helmet. It was derived from a prototype version which is likely of Fyberdyne lineage...but this one is much better than a fiberdyne with the newer dome. What I think is interesting about you finally getting it is that you have almost a piece of fan Vader helmet history as this helmet was out of production for quite a while now I believe...congratulations.

:cheers,

T

I would not use a hot air gun - you're gonna melt your helmet - unless that's what you want . Myself I would contact the guy who sent you your helmet

To those doubters and naysayers.....You will have your product and he should be replying to those who still have unanswered questions in the VERY near future. JB apologizes for the lapse and is working to rectify any problems or snafu's. Your products will be shipped very shortly and if you have any questions PM me. I am in Ohio (US) and will help anyway I can. Cheers.

You're brave - I've seen how miserable some of comments are coming from a certain few individuals .

 

[Fatherless One]

Great news Craig,

That would be a JB ANH Mk.1, haven't seen one of these in a very long time.

Congratulations

Alan.
