Fatherless One; Yeah it exists on the TM casts, thats painfully obvious but thanks again for pointing it out.
But does it exist on the original TM face? Thats been the topic at hand while we are pointing out the obvious.
Resin covering it? Doubtful.
But lets take a look at some other casting that might have it.
I will let you know if I think I can see the scar.
From the UK lineage;
The VP
Nope.
Now we all know this was cleaned up a bit but some people claim there are remnants of the scar on it. I dont see anything
at all in that area and these pictures are pretty sweet.
Maybe I could see something in person if I turned it just right but I dont think so.
Even so we know this one was cleaned up and nobody has ever really claimed it had the scar.
The TD
Nope
These pictures are from the ebay auction and even though they are not so large and the helmet fairly dusty, I think we would
be able to see something there.
It looks pretty smooth to me. Its not positive because of the picture size
but I can make out the scar on similarly sized pictures of TM castings.
Thomas did not strip this helmet prior to his moulding of it.
Therefore whatever is under the paint remains a secret from both eyes and castings.
Yet he has claimed the helmet has it. I just dont see it but I would like to see some new better pictures.
The US lineage/ the Rick Baker mold.
The SL
Nope.
Now here we are getting into even more uncertain territory with the small pictures,
but the light seems to be hitting that cheek fairly well and I dont see the scar. But that is on the original SL helmet.
I think I can see it in this picture of a casting from it. (pictured below)
Cant really tell. But lets look at another helmet from the same mold.
The eFX
Nope.
Now people in the "pro scar" camp have suggested it wore off the mold before the eFX was made.
Not very likely.
You really think such a large mark with so much detail in it just vanished completely leaving that cheek unmarked in that area?
It just does not seem possible.
People in that same group have suggested it was never there in the first place having been filled/sanded by Rick Baker when
he made the mold or that the helmet was molded after the repaint of the original helmet.
If thats true how come the owner of the SL helmet and other alleged owners of helmets from that same mold (Lambatour)
claim their helmets have the scar?
Something is fishy with the whole scar thing.
Maybe the answer is obvious and I havent been paying proper attention just like defstartrooper,
who seems to have missed any posts relating to the topic and is still under the impression that "flimsy evidence"
is all we have been given by Gino on the detail not being there on the Rick Baker mold.
Let me assure you that if I was a "jurist" as you say,
the picture of that mold provides no room for doubt and I would sleep well with my verdict.
The only room for doubt is whether it exists on the UK lineage helmets.
I think the evidence we have so far points to the scar not being there.
But as I said, I will await better pictures of those castings to pass my verdict on that point.
lol:lol
