Tristancraig Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You rock Nikko! This is a perfect example for me, I had the same ridge/hump on the right side of my Nose, and was worried to trim it in case t looked funny. This proves it's the right call, the reworked eyes on yours look real nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 thanks for this information. I have a 26 inch head and have been trying to find out if the helmets are going to be big enough before I look at spending the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I also have a big mellon and trying to decide which helmet is best. I was going with the KS but now I have doubts. Thanks! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityFool Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The short squatted look of the SC reminds me of pit bulls. Also looks the least accurate of the three, just my opinion. What I really like about the MCL is flush fit of the front part and ear section (where it lifts up, side view). My KS is a little off but not as bad as the one shown. Do you know if the Altmans has that same flush fit like the MCL? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowercase6 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Here is an example of modifying the SC lens cut to be more film-accurate... The SC bucket can be quite accurate if the lens area is slightly re-worked. You can see that the top needs to be shaved about an eighth of an inch higher, and the "valleys" need to be a bit deeper and sharper. Also, the upper left and right corners need to be sharper. After my mod, it looks much more like the film props. before the cut: ...and after the cut: Hail Nikko, coming at you from the other side of the river (saw you have WI listed on your profile, I'm in MN). Did you have to get a new lens after you made that mod to that SC bucket. Looks effing awesome btw! The mod doesn't look overly complicated but was just wondering. Great job again brethren.

CRISTONAMO Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Heres a few pictures i took for comparison between scouts The first is a Altmanns, a Nairod biker scout 5 piece helmet, and a KS helmet. Nairod, and KS. Nairod, KS Below is a comparison of a Rubies scout trooper helmet and a Don Post scout trooper helmet, both modified by me. Rubies on the left, don post on the right. This is what the rubies looked like when I got it. And this is what the don post looked like when i bought it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesewhoopy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Here's my Studio creations helmet (Left) Compared to my buddy's RS Props helmet (Right)...I think I might steal it! Seriously what an awesome helmet, unfortunately he had to do a lot of work to get it that nice becasue RS sent it to him thrown together, but it looks awesome now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I didn't know RS made a scout. i just acquired a complete Boba Fett from RS, and I am shocked at how thin the vac-formed parts are. There's also a few really obvious things that don't match the 501st CRL. I know RS is well respected for making accurate TK's, but I won't give them the benefit of the doubt on anything else.

OAB1 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hi All, I know its a pain, but any chance of updating the Photobucket image links with something that works?

The RS is not all that much larger than the SC, is it? I was under the impression it would be quite a bit bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I believe that SC based his on the Rubies/Don Post one, which was assumed to be correct aside from the cheap vinyl construction. Interesting to see side-by-side cause I don't think any other vendor has access to a screen used helmet (maybe Altmans, as they were officially licensed to make theirs). Honestly, I emailed SC earlier this year about replacing my 2013 armor and he told me to buy from RS for the accuracy. I've had bad experiences with RS and that combined with the price makes me lean more toward SC for armor, but I understand RS has the most screen accurate parts.
