These past few months I had been in discussions with RS, discussing various details over the Snowtrooper costumes and providing some insight where I could and vice versa. They're currently in the process of re-sculpting their armor as well to improve their accuracy, which I think will be a great thing to see.
I was fortunate that they offered to send a few kits to me to take a crack at and build. While they've got their build system down pat, I may take my own liberties and play around with it. It won't be too much different, but I'll see what I can do, namely as it relates to the cowl's appearance/cut. The one thing they were able to locate is proper material which they matched w/ some other screen used helmets in collections elsewhere. It will take me a bit to get "used to" but they sent me plenty to play around with.
Faceplate/goggles next to my Laws Commander helmet
Just a note- I am not sure if/when they will be offering these in kit form, so I am not sure if how I received this will be identical to how their final shipped product will be
This should be a relatively quick build once I get going, but I will need to develop the cowl patterns and play around with them, which will likely take me awhile. I do plan to build one of these helmets as closely as possible to the same exact way the originals were, to include an accurate interior construction, so I'm excited
