Darth Chridan Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Hidiho Tree lovers in the last weeks I had build another Lone Wolf buckets....but this time with alot of modifications...especially at the mask. At the back of the dome I had only corrected the number of the vents. Well...here we go--->> Cheers.... 4
Chopper Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Looks great. Can't wait to see more LW helmets in the wild someday soon.
762s Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 they look good. what all did you do to the mask? any wip pics?
Darth Chridan Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 I've updated all details around the eyes and nose....and at the back of the dome the number of the vents. Yes, I've some wip pics and will share it...maybe this evening. And also side by side pics between the V1 and V2 LW's. Cheers.. . Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire 10 lifestyle mit Tapatalk
Darth Chridan Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 Good evening @ all As promised, here are some wip pics from the build--->> And here are the side by side/ comparison pics of the Lone Wolf V1 (left) and V2--->> Last but not least here are two pics of the reference lid as comparison that shows how close I'm with the modifications on the LW bucket--->> All in all I'm really happy with the end result... Cheers.... 2
762s Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 thanks for posting the wip pics i like the v2 ... very close to the original, nice job! i have never built or seen a lonewolf in hand so, question .... why did you fill/rework all the vents in the back? is there an issue there?
Darth Chridan Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 why did you fill/rework all the vents in the back? is there an issue there? Hi... because at the original helmet there are only 8 vents. At the LW are 9. And the vents of the LW bucket are too sharp pulled.....at the original one not. Therefore the putty in the vents etc... Cheers... 1
762s Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 the number of vents where brought up in my rs helmet builds because i was adding the 8th vent ... there seems to be: ~ 7 vent helmet ~ 8 vent helmet ~ 8/9 vent helmet ... the 8 and 9 vents are merged together making one wider vent ~ 9 vent helmet ... the 9th vent is smaller see the posts with reference pics here 7 vents ... screen used: http://forum.bikersc...ndpost&p=168405 8, 8/9 and 9 vents ... pics here http://forum.bikersc...ndpost&p=168411 i like the 8 vents though 1

And so they are now only 7 vents. At the original helmet there are even 9 vents...you can see it on starwars helmets at the khaki unpainted helmet. The propmaker at the filmset has filled it with putty after they has clued the dome parts. Cheers.... Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire 10 lifestyle mit Tapatalk 1

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire 10 lifestyle mit Tapatalk Hey Darth Chirian, perhaps the vent repair was done when the original helmet was made for ROTJ? I ask because when RS posted photos of the original purchased helmet, the shots of the insides didn't show a repair -- at least not one done after the mold was pulled.

I ask because when RS posted photos of the original purchased helmet, the shots of the insides didn't show a repair -- at least not one done after the mold was pulled. Maybe they have filled with putty the left vent automatically when they have clued and primed the dome....All in all...the helmet in starwarshelmets.com was my reference.
