Preassembled helmets? SC in particular

[Guest Rosemourne]

I've looked at the different types of helmets on the boards and in the stickied threads (Which, honestly, seem outdated - Are they still valid?) and I've one thought on them:

I'm concerned about the quality of preassembled helmets.

Due to a PCS, I've had to get rid of quite a few tools, so I am unable to make one myself presently. I imagine I'll start on a project or modify the helmet once I've moved overseas.

 

If I purchase a kit and pay to have SC build it, is the quality good? If not, what other helmets can I get preassembled that are?

 

Thanks!

I got a pre-assembled KS. It's a fine lid. Needs some modifications to make it more screen accurate, but is good enough for 501st clearance as-is.

SC is a slightly smaller kit than KS. SC uses thicker plastic than KS, feels quite a bit sturdier.

[Guest Rosemourne]

Good to know. I'm a slightly smaller person (5' 6.5"), but with a 7 1/2 noggin'. SC might still be the better option for me. Thanks much for the heads up. Does the SC preassembled kit require modification for approval into 501st?

Not that I'm aware of. Helmet should fit you just fine.

I got a my helmet build by Jeff from SC and no problems at all !

 

You will need to cut the ear holes and paint the bolts or change them to the "right" ones, but if I could do it, so can you

Heavy, where did you get your bolts? I just got my prefab helmet from SC and love it. Just need to change the bolts.

PM me for a assembled helmet

Heavy, what color are the bolts supposed to be, I read it somewhere but now can't find it again.

the actual colour for the bolts is a off white/bone but light grey is how they appear on film so thats the go.
