ForesterDesign Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I came across a LoneWolf (weathered on the left) and thought the community would appreciate some side by sides to my Altmanns (clean, on the right). https://imgur.com/a/ADdBsHs Upon initial reactions - I will say that the shape of the Altmanns is a bit more stout - it's got a little bit of a slimmer eye hole and one a side-by-side comparison, definitely is more shallow. The LoneWolf seems to be more "accurate" based on my ROTJ reference shots - but as it's a kit, construction varies. Spike's Altmanns helmet, construction-wise, is about as good as it gets. A truly fantastic build, painted beautifully internally and externally, has a strong glued lens, practical visor and chinstrap. It really is a premier helmet. The LoneWolf is a beautiful shape - but the kit entirely depends on those that put it together. It doesn't feel as heavy-duty, but looks amazing. Do with this info as you wish, Pathfinders. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin707 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Enjoy, it's a great helmet! Spike is the man! How is the Altmann fitment wise, have you had to put much padding inside to get it to sit correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForesterDesign Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 How is the Altmann fitment wise, have you had to put much padding inside to get it to sit correctly? It's very comfortable and accomodating - I have a 7.25'' head and there is plenty of room - I used the Amazon tactical pad kit, with the chin strap for additional support for bending over, grabbing my blaster and posing with kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
