Chopper Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I figured it might be interesting as a reference source, so I'll be on the look out for additional close up images. One interesting item that stands out to me is how big the visor hole is on the mould. Just conjecture on my part, but I wonder if this mould was used for the rubber stunt helmet? That was one of the scout helmet variations, which featured a bigger visor hole. I'll add more images as I come across them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikerScout007 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm not sure if they were used at all. Description says they were "safety moulds" in case they were needed for production. They'd probably go for more money if they were actually used for production helmets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 True, and to be honest, looking back at this example posted on starwarshelmets, the visor slot looks pretty large on that one as well. Probably me just over thinking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Honestly, it's better for whoever buys it if it's never been used 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 8 hours ago, spike said: I thought the molds were made from timber...........😥 I believe that's correct, or at least that's what was indicated in the costumes book. The moulds above are described as safety moulds, likely for back up purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 They were. Also I believe there was a picture around here back in the day when I joined of actual moulds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 I recall seeing that photo as well, Tim. I did some searching and found this -- I think it's from when they were talking about the original wooden bucks for the EFX scout helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 That's one I remember. Someone at one point posted a link to a picture of the original bucks. I swear some where on one of my PC's I have the picture. Its was posted late 2013 I wanna say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
