Post Your 1:1 Helmets and/or Props

As I already said your helmet setup is fantastic DA!

Not quite sure what you mean. Could you take some pics?

Im guessing it is the CE version of the Stormtrooper helmet. I dont own one but seen the insides and it appears how you describe it if I'm understanding correctly. The CE is assembled and the LE is a one piece mold, I think...

Yes, is a efx helmet, but is similar to CE version of Master Replica, and is assembled, right. Here some pics:





In the first pic the lines that I mark are the lines of asembly, but in the second pic I mark a line that is on the piece but not is for asembly, can be a rest of a mold in bad conditions ?

Unfortunately that is the way they both CE and PCR are. I've seen some modified by 501st member who closed that gap though.

From all the CE/Precision Cast versions I've seen they have this seam line. I guess it's part of the mold. If it bothers you, try a fan made version they look accurate to the ones in the movie.

Ok, thanks you. Then the only way to have a official helmet without this seam line is buy a LE of MR/efx ???

Finally my Laws TIE Fighter Pilot helmet is finished, some upgrades were made yesterday: Targ hoses, rubber neck trim and "TI-1138" sticker

Damn man! I didn't think this bucket could look any better. I stand corrected! That's fantastic looking! Congrats on this fine piece.

Exactly. Or as Sewbacca said get an unlicensed one like RS Prop Masters, CfO, TE2 etc. which are the most accurate out there, way above the MR or eFX.

AWESOME collection/set-up!

not to deter anyone from Jkno's collections, here's my small collection this far!

My 'Three Faces of Vader':



(Eps. III, IV and V to be specific....)

 

[sewbacca]

Nice trio thorn

 

[Jaycepticon]

That's awesome, Thorne. I never realized how much bigger the bottom grill part was on the ESB Vader. I actually prefer that.

 

[jkno]

Very nice!! Though the ROTS Vader looks so out of place there, too black, too symmetrical, too glossy, too perfect. OT Vaders remain the true Vaders. Now if I can get my hands on a SL Vader once day, then the ultimate ANH Vader would be in my collection.

Thanks, brother, and I've gotta say your collection impresses the hell out of me.

That said, I always tend to cringe a little inside when someone says "ultimate" because I've been in the game long enough to see that "ultimate" is largely determined by whatever happens to be (somewhat) available at that particular time and, even then, from generation to generation, it's a game of inches, not yards.
Is the SL Vader the gold standard for the "ultimate" helmet today?
I wouldn't argue. I've seen the pictures and it's pretty friggin' sweet.
But I've had my ANH since the fall of '04 and it's one of the now-infamous JB helmets which, at the time, had a few "ultimates" tossed its way.

Is there enough of a difference between the two to make me want to 'upgrade'?
Not in my eyes....

But at least neither of them are the 'sanitized' eFX version, huh?

 

[jkno]

SL is not sanitized. And I've seen some awesome pics of the SL that are simply FANTASTIC. I'd trade 20 Legends for one.

As for Vader Legend, I learned about it as well, passed already on 2 Legend sales/deals in EU, and there are 2 others on Rebelscum as we speak, and I'm still not interested, and I do have enough money to buy any of them. Legend lost its aura to me the moment I read more about it, and understood how cleaned up it really was in the end. Too much for me, so the LE does fine until getting a SL.
