My Royal Guard build

[Jarvis B]

Iv'e had this Don Post recast for a few years now that never fit my head so today it has gone on the chopping block , I have a pretty large head and so far with the test fit everthing is looking pretty good .
My goal with this one is to build a RG helmet that fits larger heads while keeping it's original shape unlike the New rubies helmet that simply pulled the helmet out front to back without reshaping the curves















Here's some front and side views of my helmet and three others
Mines all grey
The one with visible body filler is an Argentina cast .
The Rubies
And a large black helmet that i narrowed side to side a few years ago .

Note the shape of my dome retains the correct shape instead of the stretch found in the others .

Wow ... that looks absolutely fabulous ... I'm always amazed at the true craftsmanship and quality that is being displayed ... will this become a full size costume or just a bust?

This helmet is being built for costuming ,Here's a couple of pictures of another person with a 24 inch head standing 6 foot tall wrapped in a cape and wearing my helmet , He said it fit pretty snug but man it looked good on him .

Very nice work. This is one helmet I still haven't added to my collection. Shame it's too big to fit a Detolf shelf!

Nice job

Looks great! From what I know the original Don Post helmets are quite small themselves. My girlfriend owns one and neither of us can get it on our head.

Yours looks pretty cool in matte gray. It's almost a shame to paint it!

We moved to a new house and shop not long ago , I hope to have this helmet ready for molding this month .
