Torm Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I was wondering if Stormtroopers have the same problem . I look at all different types of biker scout helmets and I do see inaccurate details in every brand . Don't get me wrong tho some are very good tho still not 100% . Mostly the dimensions seem a little off . Do Stormtroopers have this same issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syllander Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Depends on the lid really. For TK the RS is tops, but there are several awesome others too. I've gone thru the same issue you are referring too. Seems RS is the most accurate, and the LW is a close second but no longer produced. I really like the Chef helmet and the MonCal personally as far as accuracy to availability are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yup but you have way more option's when your a TK. There some great TK helmets out there and some not so great. I prefer the bumpy back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Tho for the untrained eye they all look great . Maybe I look to close . I have a eye for detail . I think I have OCD tho . I spend a lot of time looking at movie scout helmets and doing comparison. So far in my opinion it's LW , chef, moncal , efx and altmanns. Not in order . Tho even all of these are up for debate. Add to this and tell us what order you put these in . My helm is Altmanns and I think it's great tho like the others not 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 For a person looking at a trooper with a EFX or Altmanns standing next to each other probably wouldn't see a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Also if you can add a pic of a helm that you think is movie accurate. I'm still new and trying to figure out how to add pictures lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syllander Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Look at the MLC helmet offered by www.farawaycreations.com. Not perfect, but rather nice. There are some inaccuracies in all of the fan made, but some more than others. The most accurate I'd say is the RS, flat out. However I don't know if they'll end up offering it again. Andrea says they will eventually, but according to their last FB post suggests it's debatable. My newbie idea of more accurate to less pecking order would be...RS, eFx, LW, MCLv3, Chef, Altmann's, KS, SC, Rubies, Don Post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yes tho MLC helm is 380 $ plus 180 $ to assemble plus 80$ paint US . Also shipping added to the price . So I live in Canada and one might be ready at the end of the day to almost pony up 1000$ Canadian including shipping for this helm . Close to it anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syllander Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Ouch.....yeah, gotta be a better option for you. Have you talked to Chef? Look at Black Falcon's pre-approval pics for a good view of his lid. It's 3mm HIPS, and I know HIPS gets a bad rap sometimes. It forms better then ABS, and should hold up very well for a helmet.
