CRISTONAMO

I as well have just scored a Don post helmet, I have made a few of these before so I will be putting a how to thread on how i convert these helmets.

trim that scout visor!!! its bugging me that no ones said it, way too much flashing on it.

Heres a few pictures i took for comparison between scouts The first is a Altmanns, a Nairod biker scout 5 piece helmet, and a KS helmet. Nairod, and KS. Nairod, KS Below is a comparison of a Rubies scout trooper helmet and a Don Post scout trooper helmet, both modified by me. Rubies on the left, don post on the right. This is what the rubies looked like when I got it. And this is what the don post looked like when i bought it.

They've used that photo for the rubies helmet for years, ever since it went for sale online, ascreencap of the movie, you get what another member just posted, but the can be made to look like the picture shown with mods.

The RS looks bigger and after seeing them side by side the LW doesn't look as close to the original as previously thought

This fix still confuses me cause movie scouts have that stitching, Gino even showed me a picture of an original pouch that had it. When does anyone think this will be changed? Isn't lancer for ultimate accuracy?

Why would you guys send back the helmet? You're most likely gonna get the same helmet back, or another one with similar problems. Cause they'll rush your helmet while they finish up others orders. Then you'll be caught in a cycle of sending back what you get, I'd say just fix it yourself.

Even though I don't live in New Mexico anymore I can say there's an ART being formed for Dewback Ridge Garrison as we speak

Thanks!

Congrats on the approval! If you happen to replace your vest would you sell it? I could use one.

I found this for sale on the 501st forums, for a great price. I found out this unique piece is a 5 pieces hips scout helmet made by RPF member nairod. He has an account on here too i believe. The helmet was apparently made from a heavily modded don post. I have a don't post for comparison the Nairod helmet is more narrow and taller shaped. In my opinion its the most accurate fan made helmet next to lonewofl and possibly more rare than LW Since he no longer owns the molds or makes them anymore. The helmet came in ol condition with cracks on the bottom and edges I already reinforced with backing to hold it. I will be fixing this helmet up and Its such an interesting find to me. the helmet does fit my head but its a tight fit. fixed there crack on the chin by reinforcing it with plastic and superglue.

You should sell it to one of the many members wanting one instead!

This looks exact same as my kit from 2014.

Where is the pocket located exactly? Maybe i am confused.

they do not need to be removed for basic, cause they are not even visible in final suitup.

I have done the same by making my own with just nerf guns. Same model as one posted above. Different scope and every word and hole sanded off and filled in. It starts to look like a starwars weapon.

I used E6000 on all my strapping including the belt except the chest to back underarm, thats velcro for adjustments. The strapping can be completely finished in a few hours. The armor is all trimmed and having met you already I know you're close to my size, I did not trim the MC chest. And it fits well as you saw in person, DM me on IG and I can help you through the process.

Make sure to get 1/4 inch batting to give the bund its shape.

My mother helped sew mine. used 1/4 inch thick batting all the way around.

That's just the bluish tinit KS has with there plastic, like AP used to have with his tks.

That is why I have armor parts from each go you using the best of each armor set.

This helmet is not the only product they offer, on top of these 100 helmets, tons of full stormtrooper armor, and full boba feet armor, feet helmets, stormtrooper helmets, vader helmets, and full snow trooper armor orders are all being fulfilled at the same time, somewhere, there will be backorders, the world does not revolve around the scout helmet. You guys will get your elmets when the time comes, at least you will get it before efx ships out theirs.

Once you start seeing other people get there helmet, I have a feeling you will regret not getting it. If I had the money i'd get it in a heart beat.

I have a 24" head and tried on an mlc the other day and it fit just fine.

Honestly in my opinion the standards of a scout are not hard to achieve at all. I'd say the same as a stormtrooper. The hard parts of a scout are easy to strap up and all that's left after that is acquiring or making your own soft parts. This will be a learning experience if anything. I only took a month to finish my scout from when I received my armor kit. Sorry to hear about your trouble but next time just order a kit its so much better
