Replica 'Set for Stun' helmet - Fibreglass

[Helmetman]

Hi all

OK, here it is. Nearly finished. I just have to get some more accurate screws I think they are a little too large and the ones that came with the kit, well, they went straight in the bin. :lol

Mods, this has previously been posted in the Junkyard for sale, but no-one seems to be able to match what it's worth (even in kit form) so I have decided to keep the beast. Plus I've warmed to it.

I know my past thread disappeared due to RPF issues with the 'maker' (if you can call him that.) etc..so please note, I cannot discuss what type of helmet this is, or where to get one. All other comments are welcome

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in the end.

Cheers. Steve

It looks great. :thumbsup

What's with the red spots on the helmet - is that modelled after a particular su helmet?

 

[Boba Frett]

Nice bucket :thumbsup

 

[Helmetman]

Thanks.

Al, the red spots are on the original. There's the one on the front dome and one on the reverse. There may be more but I only have so many shots of the original.

I think it adds the the 'realness'.

Beautiful lid Steve .

Shame your not selling it anymore

It really catches the feel of the 'set for stun' :thumbsup

Top job

Just out of interest what paint did you use for the HDPE colour.

Cheers Chris.

Nice one Steve,that's just how I would have painted it :thumbsup

Are those screws the one's from B&Q? That's what I use anyway and just dab some white paint on the heads and they look OK. Looks like you've been busy on the interior too,very nice. I bet your glad you kept it now eh

 

[Jumpin Jax]

Looks a lot better than when you got it Nice prep job and paint. Excellent work.

Very nicely done Steve. :thumbsup

 

[Helmetman]

Thank you very much guys.

Yes, I am glad I kept it in the end.

Paul. It HAD to be chipped up, there's now way that helmet was gonna be pristine. Yip, they are B&Q screws through and through. You should have seen the ones he sent me, laughable.

HDPE colour is 'Rover Champagne Beige'. It's a UK Halfords colour.

Cheers for the kind comments
