read some bad things about KS helmets on this forum, mostly poor molding and if you have them build it for you, sloppy build.....I have never owned a scout helmet so I am only passing on what I have read on here. I just bought a MLC v3 fiberglass helmet, I'm waiting for it to be made and delivered.

Ah yes, that makes sense

Okay, finally decided on a MLC v3, got it ordered, ordered a snout from Lou, got decals and visor from Trooperbay, and I am still waiting on a reply from kwdesigns for his hardware kit......Have I forgotten anything I'll need? Thanks for all the help guys, hopefully I can do a small build adventure here when I get it all and start putting it together

oops, I was wrong, this isnt the helmet I'm getting (getting confused with all the "codes")....I'll still watch this one with interest tho

since I'm getting the same helmet I'll be following this thread

this is the helmet I am going to order. I was thinking about ordering it pre-painted, any reason why you didnt?

you really saved that helmet, thats like my worst nightmare but I dont have the skills to fix it, great job

My helmet will be proudly on display in a Detolf cabinet, so I wont be "trooping" in it, maybe someday down the road I might get a full costume and join the 501st but for now I am just a collector, I already have a few stormtrooper helmets and this year I'm adding a Snowie and Biker Scout to the collection.

Okay, after looking around and weighing my options of whats available, whats most accurate, who will answer emails and who is actually producing kits and after much guidance, I have decided that the MCL V3 is the best way for me to go. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Scott

BatNinja I have seen your posts on the KS and that was the major factor that pushed me away from them, and the shape seems a little off in terms of height of the helmet compared to the original props. LW never returned my PMs either except my very first PM when he said he was possibly doing a run in Jan, but that was it. Griffin-X, thanks for that, email sent....

I didnt realize at the time Chief was the poster, I re read the posts and did a face palm, I have sent him a PM thanks! It probably is a MCL helmet but still, $500 is too high for me. How would I contact Mardon directly? Sorry for all the stupid questions.

Okay, my two (small) issues with the cucblack is the size of the hump around from ear to ear, to my eye it seems too round and too pronounced and not as oblong as the screen used ones and the shape of the "cut" for the visor joint is also off to me. these are minor tho. The newimage58 seems more screen accurate in those respects. Ive read too many poor reviews about the KS helmet and it looks too "short" to my eyes but i could be completely wrong. the moncal is nice but too expensive for me as i said in my first post and its too hard to get any replies. The LW seems to b the holy grail but he wont resond to emails or pms and im guessing that his is more expensive then the MonCal. CB offers to put one together for me finished but that pushes the price up more then the cucblack and Newimage58 Ive not heard of this Cheif helmet, where would i find those? Ive read about star fortress and they arent even on my list What is NI? Thanks for the replies

I assume MC is MonCal? I cant get any decent communication from him, and at $500 it's just too much for me.... Who is MCL?

Okay, been lurking this forum for a short while and reading the forum everyday trying to soak up some knowledge..... I have tried to contact MC but their emails are slow as syrup at best but I did get a price list for their biker scout lid and it was about $500.....a bit too much for me and as I understand it they take months on end to fill an order and I dont want to wait months on end LW replied to my email once and said he was doing a run in January but never got any more responses from him on price and the rest of the details....... I found CB and I really like his FG helmet but a few details concern me as far as visually movie accurate after looking at the "real" helmets on star wars helmets... I also found NI and his looks more visually accurate but I havent heard anything good or bad about his product/reputation..... I've found SC but it seems his helmet is in kit form and I really dont have the tools and space available to me to put a kit together, So now my question; Which of these would you experts recommend I buy from, I require a completed helmet ready for display I understand if you'd rather not voice a preference publicly so if you'd like to send me a PM thats okay too, I just need some guidance. Thanks
