3DImpact Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I mentioned in Cheesewhoopy's Moncal armor build thread that I had a couple of Moncal's new helmets in hand (along with the armor sets as well). I thought I'd post some pics of that helmet here to not derail Cheesewhoopy's build thread. In each of the side-by-side images here, the helmet on the left is Moncal and the helmet on the right is RS. If I had other helmets I'd line them up as well, but perhaps someone can chop apart my images here and combine with others. All the side-by-side shots were taken from about 40 feet away with a 400mm lens (except for the top views, which were from about 10 or 12 feet) so that close-in lens distortion is reduced, giving a nice flat plan view in each case. I aligned the images on the visor bolts. So everything is to scale here, with only minor alignment variations from setting the helmets on the display stand. Front Left Rear Top Here's an image of the interior of the helmet along with a cross-eye stereo pair as a bonus if you can do that. Interior Interior (stereo) Looking forward to getting the corresponding armor sets built up. I'll keep one set nice and parade clean and weather up the other set for the Endor trooping look. I'm holding the third (unpainted) Moncal helmet in reserve for some future, TBD costume idea. Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesewhoopy Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Wow he did a great job with the resculpt! Looks fantastic. If you ever wanna sell that third kit.... feel free to send a message my way 😉 I like your idea about two separate kits, one clean and one dirty. I was thinking of doing the same thing.

Chopper Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Thanks for posting the comparison, Dan. They're pretty close. Did Cal still decide to go with the urethane back portion and the abs faceplate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's an ABS faceplate - an extremely nice pull, with lots of very sharp detail. Really nice finish on the whole helmet - they really are beautiful.

Dart Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nice to see another helmet option out there! Thanks for doing the side-by-side comparison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I talked to cal a week or so ago and he said he was going back and tweaking a few things on it. Very nice comparison! I'll definitely be picking one up for my shadow scout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilBobTheFish Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This taught me what a stereogram is! Also, great pics of beautiful helmets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
