Post Your 1:1 Helmets and/or Props

The RS Scout helmet looks great no matter if weathered or clean. But in this case I also prefer weathered, since I already have clean one.

Thanks guys! I’ve only ever really collected saberforge and came across Korbanth and just liked the overall look feel and pricing, they are all empty hilts as I’m just looking to display but really enjoying them, thanks again!

Korbanth stuff has always been, imo, the best bang-for-your-buck you can get. They're relatively accurate, affordable, and they always leave the option of having electronics. And with some accuracy kits out there, the Graflex 2.0/2.5 can wind up being totally worth it. And with Korbanth recently announcing he's going to have 89Sabers make his future stuff, it's only going to get better. The 89Sabers Sidious and Windu were some of the best I've ever seen, and his Graflex is damn serviceable. The only steady saber maker I like better is Roman Props. KR Sabers' Hero and Qui were both honorable mentions, though.

Received my RS scout lid too. It really is a masterpiece. The weathering is perfect.

Congratulations!
On the plaque it states "Cargo Hold".... what does that mean?

This was an exclusive run done for a Facebook group called The Cargo Hold.

Very cool!
But damn, I really hope they will still make the old stands, I'm not fond of the new ones.

I like them since they fit better in my Detolf. But they should offer both.

The thing is that when you start making piece in a particular way, you should still offer it, even if you find a different way of making that piece. MR had the same stand all the time for the helmets, but they changed them for sabers and people were not too happy back then, even if the new ones were "improved". I have 3 main type of stands for my helmets, not going to have more.

Definately agree on that.

Is that definitely the way they're going to do the stands from now on? Or is that just the stand to be used for the Cargo Hold?
I hope they don't change the stands. They don't need to!

This is how they'll do them from now on. I wasn't overly impressed with the stand either, but it looks fine on display. I had to really force the pole into the base to ensure it didn't wobble. I was afraid of breaking the base, since it's so thin.

Then it is very disappointing. Almost to the point of reconsidering any future purchase from them, because I'd need to find stands that are not flimsy like the EFX Scout helmet one.

Once assembled, it's quite robust TBH.

 

[Aliaz]

It is sturdier than it looks.

There are quite a few people making stands in the old RS style, so should not be a problem getting a hold of them.

Just sold my LoneWolf Scout helmet. It only took 3 hours to sell, and I received 6 PM's on 3 collecting forums and on Facebook. It is exactly the helmet you can see on the best helmet site: https://starwarshelmets.com/fanmade_scout_trooper_helmets.htm The LW Scout helmet is a superb piece, but my display space is so limited alas. Will miss it dearly

 

[Aliaz]

Love that helmet!

Like jkno teased, next Signature Edition from RS! :yes

 

[RebelSpy007]

Defintely getting this! Missed the previous sandtrooper SE and this will complete my OT trooper trio.

Hope your tubes don't split like both of mine...

 

[DarthRusty]

Well, I'll be keeping an eye out on this forum. Please let me know when it's available! I NEED THIS!!!

Hey guys. Newbie to the 1:1 helmet collecting but where can I get emblem plates for stands? Looked around and could not find something plain... like the RS emblem plates.
