Things to consider when buying a helmet
Ask yourself do I want screen accurate ( expensive and time consuming) or do I want it to look good on my shelf ( cheaper and faster )
That’s a nice helmet but what you have to consider is the cost.
You need to ask yourself “ what can I afford “ when you have a figure in mind you need to put that amount of money to one side, keep it there and don’t spend it,
the next step is to search for a helmet in your price range, when your looking for your helmet you also need to consider how much work is involved in turning an already finished helmet into a reveal helmet, the helmet you’ve seen is fibre glass so it’s easily cut and chopped and added to, its paint finish is automotive paint so it can be rubbed down and repainted, if that’s your helmet of choice then go for it if you can afford it
you need to have at least 5 options of helmet all variety of prices and finishes, looking at raw cast helmets gives you more freedom to do what you need to do without worrying about damaging any painted finish you have on it, also raw cast helmets are cheaper than a finished one, also you can find raw cast helmets with flaws in them that are cheaper and will give you the opportunity to fix it while your making your reveal
have you looked at the black series Darth Vader Reveal helmets on eBay ?
