Harbinger Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Well I just ordered a set of RS armor so hopefully I don't have any issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayorrnot Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Reviving this thread to see if I can get some updated info! Looking into getting a helmet from WTF and was wondering if anyone had measurements on one of those. I'm a 23/23.5in so on the larger side so I was leaning with SC but I'm not sure. Any info would be most appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info would be most appreciated! The SC helmet isn't "small", but it's one of the smaller ones out there. If your head is on the larger side, then honestly I would lean towards getting the Altmann helmet from Spike. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info would be most appreciated! I have about the same size head and fit in the SC one fine! I just got mine in and after playing around with the pads a bit, have it fitting just about perfect. I have a couple of thick pads on the forehead section and back of the base of my head and then a small strip of 1/4" foam on the top and it fits really nice!

NegativeEleven Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Not sure of size difference, but SC's kit is much easier to assemble and can be put together in a way that doesn't require you to paint it. That is a big deal because painted armor gets dirty faster than bare plastic and you will end up with a helmet that looks very different from your armor.

Synz314 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 So I guess Altman's remains the best option for larger heads still? I have a 24/24.5 inch head. While I am looking for a display helmet, I'd much prefer to still be able to wear it. I am looking for a finished helmet, no kits, on a budget. It seems Altmann or New Image are the only options I've got. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Massingill Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Looking to buy a biker scout helmet that the 501st would accept. Do you know what I could buy? Which would be best Altmann or EFX or something else? I know no stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all of those helmets have been approved for the 501st at some point but if you want to compare the overall accuracy to make an informed decision I'd recommend this thread (all of those have been 501st approved): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The Altmann is a built helmet and fits up to a 26inch head size,ready to go "out of the box", need a liner, also with the current exchange rate is worth a look. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangobaum Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 hello. i have already claimed the forum search, but unfortunately found nothing specific. i wanted to ask if any of you have experience with this helmet or with the producer. -> https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/756291363/biker-scout-trooper?ref=cart i think it looks quite useful, except for the open valves, especially for this price, but of course i like to rely on experiences already made. Alternatively, i would like the one from New Image, but it costs twice as much and i'm not sure about that yet. on the other hand, it looks much more like the original ones. -> https://www.newimage-prop-replicas.co.uk/product-page/full-size-biker-scout-trooper-helmet-version-3-weathered (and I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong thread here, of course I've read a lot, but I'm still new and haven't got the overview of all the detailed threads yet) thanks a lot in advance (and sorry for my "school english") imperial greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a number of issues with that particular helmet, notably the upper visor, ear holes, and cut out "vents". We have had a few scouts who ordered the newimage helmet and were quite happy with it. You can see a post with some images in the links below: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Has anyone also checked out CyberCraft’s Scout helmet for a comparison as well? Theirs seems to be very accurate as an addition. But what are other’s thiughts? I searched the threads and I couldn’t find a post on it yet.

The way the faceplate connects to the sides of the dome portion, near the lower jaw is quite different from most of the other helmets out there, including the screen used ones. I haven't seen anyone do it like that before, especially with all the reference shots we have now. I also can't tell in the indents on the back right are actually intents, or just gray stickers placed on the surface. Same for the traps on the upper back. What is it made of? Fiberglass? Rotocast? 3D printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr1mmdark Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I’m honestly not sure, I asked what it was made of and was given this response, “this is durable plastic from Smooth on.” Doesn’t really help much. Their communication isn’t good either which bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Using smooth on would mean that it's rotocast resin, most likely. There are better and more accurate helmets available. I'd look at some of the other vendors listed here and in the ultimate armor comparison thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifi-Stereo Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I`m thinking about replacing my Chef´s Creations helmet by a helmet of New Image Props. Can anyone tell me, if there´s a difference regarding the white color-tone, so that there might by a slight difference between the color of the rest of the armor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also thinking of getting a Newimage Prop helmet too. But somehow the back part of the helmet doesn’t look right. Shouldn’t the vertical strips be in line with the trapezoids? Please correct me if I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star-trooper Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 But I think it shouldn’t be an issue as those vertical strips are just decals and could be easily positioned in the correct place. Other than that, I think it should be acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 That would entirely depend as to whether or not the helmets are clearcoated over the decals or not. The RS helmets and many others use vinyl adhesive decals for the vertical black stripes. Just looking at the photos, it seems that the new image decals are clearcoated. You could email them to ask about it easily enough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
