The new TK bucket

Here are a few shots of my new ABS TK stunt helmet:

Wowwww! That detail is sharp! It almost looks like a fiberglass casting rather than formed. And, in ABS...mmmmmmmmm.

DAMN!!! We may have a new leader!...even has the teardrop bump...NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JoeR]

What is it cast from?

:love W O W!!

 

[Treadwell]

Looks great, as does all of your stuff!

What is that mark in the teardrop?

 

[Studio Stasis]

That bump in the teardrop is present in the fiberglass Ultras as well, and was consistent with the real surface of the set for stun screen used helmet. They just dont show up in most 2nd generation vac helmets. Looking at these pics I can't believe that is plastic.

That looks very nice. What is it derived from? Original sculpt, screen used helmet, casting from a screen used helmet? If it's an original sculpt then I am extremely impressed. Nice work whatever it is, looks the part for sure.

Hi there,
In case you're not aware of the history, I made TE's molds. The molds I'm using now came from 1st generation pulls. I just redefined the lost details.

Removed, as I didn't want my post to be misconstrued as anything but trying to help clarify.

Oohh thats a really nice tk lid and so sharp looking :thumbsup

I look forward to seeing more pics when you have it detailed up :love

 

[Darth Niob]

Fantastic work Dan. Another excellent helmet:love

WOW, incredible helmet...

One question though isn't the additional detail a vacuum pull flaw, it looks like a trapped air pocket rather then a real sculpted detail... I obviously have not studied the real helmets up close so I will accept differing opinions...

Yes the bump is part of the sculpt and not an airbubble flaw. It is present on both sides, and is correct.

OK that settles that...
