Limited Run Range Trooper Helmet Kits from Solo

A while back I started working on this beauty:


Here's a few earlier pictures that will give you a better idea of the proportions:

Right now it's all shiny and smooth and ready for molding. It looks like so:

The color doesn't matter at this stage, so it's pink.

The chin and nose greeblies will be molded and cast separately.

My plan is to make a mold and offer raw cast kits at $200 plus shipping. A non-refundable deposit of $100 gets you on the list. The remaining $100 plus shipping will be due once the kit is boxed up and ready to ship.

Post here if you'd like to get one of these kits.

 

Bump for the day. Post here if you'd like to get one of these kits.

 

Oooooh, tempted! Maybe after Xmas? My wallet has taken quite the battering!

 

Gotta see how Christmas shakes out, but I'm definitely interested. I'll send you a message next week.

 

Sounds good. I still need to finish polishing up the greebly add-ons, so you've got some time.

Mothermold is done:


The first cast came out great. Here it is next to the prototype:






I couldn't resist the urge to trim out the eye hole and try it on with the visor in place:


This baby is going to look great with some weathering:


Now I just need to finish prototyping the chin greeblies so I can mold them and I'll be ready to ship out some kits:

Was just about ready to mold the chin details, but I think I need to rework the bottom one a bit more:


In any case, these will be under rubber before I leave the shop tonight.

Just a heads up, I got these lenses from the Von Zipper website for half price! They didn't even charge me for shipping.
