Very well done Skip, the pics look great, my big mate saw you and was very impressed.

Thanks for the lovely comments guys, nice lining up Phil, yes it is looking better, the eyes will be cut slightly less but the mould isnt too bad , may take a bit off the faceplate mould. The visor can go up or down depending where I glue it. I plan to reduce the visor around the back and slope it upwards to the front, Pretty pleased with the jaw line now. Just the nose to paint tomorrow and fit the snout detail and plate,I bought the MC, although brilliantly accurate is a tad small in length so it is an easy job of making a backplate. I think the nose will look great with room to paint a decent line halfway round the flat nose section, pics to follow, thanks for any advice guys.

Hi Tom, Boro is a fussy git, I have to try my best, seriously thanks for making this kit, it really is super cool looking and thanks for the nice comments.

Thanks for the photoshopping Boro, looks like my eyes are a bit big, I have been using this lid, S Sansweets old lid, and the Star Wars in Concert lid , for reference pics, I think the SW in C lid has bigger eyes, when I saw it in Dublin I was pretty shocked at the overall size and beefiness in general of it. The way I have the eye mould I can reduce or enlarge as I wish, I will maybe do a Stunt version with massive eyes for a wee change.

You KST folks are even crazier than the regular Biker Scouts! This is an awesome costume for sure, the attention to detail is unreal for screen accuracy, Mr B has created a great kit. It is definitely not a fast build lol.And I thought the Biker and TK were tricky!

hI tony, contact Weldmet they are round the corner from you in Surrey, the site is a bit crazy as this headband is coded badly but go for the 3m 9000series headband, the bolts are exactly what you want, check out my lid on the lancer pics for a comparison shot, any questions just pm me.

Hi Phillip,thanks for the comments, this is my first complete version, I have made so many pulls only to discover more flaws, the three lids on show are , far left is the heavily modified CB mess, middle my version and far right is my modified KS lid, the KS is very similar in size to my DP lid so I used this for size comparison.There are issues and I know you have a great eye for detail, but the way I have the molds done means that I can change widths and heights as I build, I think this is why there are different looking lids in the movie.The line on the nose was an air pull cut as I couldn't get the vac to suck in to the deep nose section sufficiently.The nose length is actually a bit bigger so that the jaw line would angle, I think I can improve this by fixing the face plate at a different angle next time.Yes the dome needs to be a wee bit more above thje visor , this is because the visor was first joined together with a thick piece of abs which pushed the whole visor a bit high, I hope to improve on this later.The front nose surface I think is ok, once the black is painted around the inner half on the face it will look correct. I initially hoped to sell some kits but this has taken all weekend to get from sheet plastic to now, with folks complaining about the KS bucket being difficult, I think this build is way beyond many. Any questions just ask or PM me, thanks.

The Kashyyk set is starting to bulk up, with your KST and three Wookiees it will look awesome.

This helmet is massive compared to my Biker Scout lids. Yes your mold may be tiring but nothing that can't be fixed, the eye area has been a bit tricky to shape and clean up but the detail will look great when it comes together. This project is swaying me towards a KST in the future.

Pathfinder TB 4595 respectfully requests deployment as Lancer. I submit the following images for your consideration:

Well done lads, a great wealth of knowledge to draw on and an eye for detail, this is definately a good time to be a Biker Scout.

Lovely sculpt. This is what is putting me off doing a kashyyk trooper, cg characters will always have the most difficult costume to get right.
