SL ANH Vader Helmet: Finished Version :)

Fantastic job! I don't suppose you could do a couple of measurements of the dome so i can compare to my Fang helmet?

once again, top work!

Excellent casting Thomas, I can never tell how great a helmet looks until it's painted. They just never look right to me until then. :) This is the most accurate one out there man.

Wow Thomas it looks fantastic.

I know most Vader helmets live and die by the detail on the faceplate (which the SL has) but the big thing on this Vader is the lines and details on the dome. There is no other ANH Vader that has these details the rest tend to suffer from being soft on the lines.

Oh and more pictures please :)

Thanks, guys, I'll need to get more photos but for now here's a slightly different view...

I'm the opposite, love to see the raw castings in photographs details just seem to pop out more.

Still it's awesome to see one finished, and yeah more pics Thomas :D:thumbsup
 
Nice work.
I agree, the helmet is the best part of this casting. Very sharp details.
But is the faceplate a little flared? A bit GH like?
Not trolling in a show-off thread but just an observation/question.
Afterall, I havent really seen the SL casting before now so I dont know how it would stack up to your other castings.

Do you mean the neck of the faceplate flaring?

Not meaning to butt into Thomas's thread but I have seen a SL next to a GH faceplate and the SL is nothing like the GH for neck flare. The SL faceplates shape all over is very impressive every part of it.

I am presuming it is just the way the photos look. Which is very good in my opinion :)

Cheers Chris
