Post Your 1:1 Helmets and/or Props

[DarthRusty]

Almost finished building my DarkAgent TIE Fighter pilot helmet. Still a few bits to tidy up and the decals to apply, I'm looking forward to getting it finished and on display.

Here it is with my ATA Stormtrooper helmet and Rubies Darth Vader helmet (very much WIP, eyes are roughly trimmed and FP lenses in place with blu-tac to check fit).

I love it! I've always loved the TIE Pilots.

I love it! I've always the TIE Pilots.

Me too. The pilot helmets: TIE pilot and AT-AT pilot. Now, it's the TFA TIE pilot helmet that looks so cool.

Oooo, the AT-AT pilot, I love that one too. I've got both TIE & AT-AT on order from ANOVOS... for years now! I don't know what the wait time is for a Dan Laws, but I'm thinking that might've been the way to go, at this point. & yeah, that TFA TIE pilot is beautiful. I would've ordered the ANOVOS, but I'm not ordering anything else from them, until I receive ANYTHING I've already ordered from them first.

I've got them all preordered from them as well... sadly.

Beautiful Vader! Tell us about it. Who made it? Where'd ya find it (eBay, the maker, did you build it)?
Great photos too.

Finally got around to expanding the saber collection!

Started off with my Hasbro Vader FX 2010, blade put away:


- Friend got me a Prodigal Son for christmas, which arrived in late February
- Followed that up with some Parks/Korbanth kits, since upgraded with parts from KR and Graflex Shop
- Roman Props weathered Obi
- Making a Kylo from 2 different toys and some 3D printed parts

Misc stuff includes a 3D printed Obi for a friend and a 'battle relic' Kylo toy repaint:


Next up: EPI Obi [likely a Korbanth], EPI Qui [hoping for a new run by KR], and maybe Korbanth's Vader ROTJ. Yoda is a maybe, if someone can recommend a kit or option that doesn't break the bank.

Nice! That's a great collection you have going. Oh, I love that box you have your Ep VII in !
I finally finished my Romans Obi-Wan weathered lightsaber. I'll post photos when I get home from work. I love your wind vain weathering. Did you do that yourself? Looks awesome!

 

[DarthRusty]

Here's my newly finished Luke v2 lightsaber!
The main body is from the second run of Anakin Starkiller. The GRAFLEX clamp is a Romans. The circuit board is from Slothfurnace. I also used stencils from Trooper-Trent. The d-ring is from Roy at wannawanga.com I finally had time a few days ago paint & assemble it all. I couldn't be happier! I still have a few "weathering" things I wanna do. But they'll be minor.



Here's a few next to my MR v2, which I have to say is STILL an amazing piece.





& here's my weathered Romans Obi-Wan, with his new GRAFLEX clamp & real transistors.

 

[Centurion]

Wow amazing pieces fellas!
Keep those pics coming.

 

[jkno]

Great sabers guys!

Much thanks! Had some fun making the box. Just got a craft box at Hobby Lobby for, after coupons, about $2. Threw whatever stain I had on it, dry brushed it to look dirty, clear coat, threw some upholstery foam in the bottom and covered it with Halloween netting. Glued a random button onto the front and that's it.

The Romans is currently as-is. I want to re-weather it, especially after seeing Dr Talyn's pics on RPF, but it's so nice I almost don't want to touch it! For the printed Obi, I stuck with Rustoleum gold, black, and chrome. Then dry brushed on acrylics for all of the dirt and rust.

That hint of rust is very nice!

 

[Centurion]

Indeed! The rust helps to make it look authentic. Nicely done!

Enjoying all the pics from everyone, Some great pieces on show

All these cool sabers make me think of getting a real MPP conversion some day, to have a real Vader in my collection which to join my only non Imperial item - Luke ANH lightsaber Graflex conversion:

You should! Your collection is AMAZING!! & the MPP is Vader, an Imperial & a real one is crazy hard to find... & even crazier expensive.
This is my Parks I got through TCCS. I think it was the last one before he went to his 2.0.



I have all the MR Vaders too, & I'm building a Heiland conversation into an ESB. I'm using the Heiland cause the true MPP's are, both, expensive & impossible to find.

 

[jkno]

Very cool! But I'd only get the real deal, no MR, no Parks. Maybe one day.

 

[Celtic007]

Beautiful Vader! Tell us about it. Who made it? Where'd ya find it (eBay, the maker, did you build it)?
Great photos too.

Thanks!
It's a modified Rubie's Supreme Helmet. I did a lot of work to it to change it to a more accurate looking ESB Vader.

My newest piece arrived today. It's a fan made Jawa blaster Even though it's all resin, I LOVE IT!!!




I actually found a real British Engfield at one of my local gun stores, but I wouldn't have the heart to cut one of those beauties up. Even though I'd LOVE a live firing Jawa blaster. It's a beautiful gun, & the wood grain on many of them is a work of art. One of my stores a few moths back also had a German Mauser C96 Broomhandle pistol. I'd love one of those too. But it was $1,800! I wouldn't have the heart to cut one of those up either.
Anyway, I'm more than happy with my Jawa blaster being resin.
