Dauitsch Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hi Pathfinders, First of all, thank you for letting me in! So I guess its time to introduce myself a bit to you... My name is Boris and I am located in the town of Neuss which is near cologne in Germany. Even if I knew directly that the Scout Trooper is my very favorite appearance when I got to see ROTJ with the age of 10 back in the days, it took me thirty years to decide that I will impressionate one some day and here I am. Over the last 20 years I spent my time with historical reenactment always thinking of the option that I also could do Star Wars, however, now its the time for me to start with becoming a Biker. I hope that I am right here with my introduction and my first questions that came up after reading a lot of information and also making a grade of research that starts to confuse me : D What I have so far - A very strong intention to create a most accurate Biker Scout appearance - An idea about the rough costs I am looking at - The motivation to make new friends around the world - To become a 501st member and a Pathfinder as well with my costume to create - A well trained allround crafting skill As a first question, I would need some of your valued feedback in regards to a helmet... After reading a lot about helmets I was actually looking for a kit from LW but it turned out that such is not easy to find (at least I was unable to find any contact to him, maybe someone can help me out here)... However, I have the option to buy a fully assembled and weathered MLC v3 as of tomorrow from a guy living close to my area and I am undecided as hell if I should take this one (for a very nice price) or if I shall just wait until I get in touch with LW someday without knowing if this kit is even still produced. I will attach some photos of the helmet I could get and would be very glad if anyone could comment or give me advice... https://postimg.org/gallery/1k46jnm5c/ The sources for the remaining bits have already been figured out more or less Thanks a lot for your support and contact! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Willkommen bei den Pfadfindern Boris! I have an Altmanns helmet but I hear good things about the MLC. There is lots to learn here and it sounds like you've got a good start. I also encourage you to reach out to your local garrison there in Germany (www.501st.de) and sign up for the forums there. That will connect you with Pathfinders that are local to help you along on your journey and we're here for you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedo10360 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hello Boris and welcome! I also have an Altmann's helmet like Retrofire and absolutely love it. I've heard that it is a little larger than some other helmets and fits a bigger head better. I like it because it is roomy on my head and seems to have good airflow. Anyway, welcome and good luck on your build. Mine is almost done and I am very excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
