Chopper Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 In trying to keep this thread current, I wanted to post a few additional comparison photos that have come up over the past few years. Some of the related posts have been linked, but here are the inline images. Mon Cal/Far Away Creations on the left. RS on the right. New Image Prop Replicas on the right. RS Props on the left. Chris the Prop Guy on the right. Original screen used helmet on the left. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Thanks Corey. That New Image bucket is surprisingly close to the RS. I had not heard of them before. Pretty cool website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovan Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Is that a whole new sculpt on Cals helmet? Or is the lens just cut out more properly shaped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a new sculpt. Well, from a few years ago, but yes, a more recent newly created sculpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rotocast bucket with an ABS visor and faceplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBar Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I finally upgraded my SC to a Moncal helmet. I was hesitant because of all the painting required but finally found that Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy white spraypaint was a near perfect match. The nice part about SC was that you just had to assemble the ABS plastic, put on the stickers, and you were good to go. Moncal was a lot more work involving the resin dome and ABS faceplate but in the end it was totally worth it. Not to say that the SC was easy. You still had to do a lot of work aligning the plastic correctly. Moncal seemed to just "fit" better. For some reason the Moncal bucket just seems to look more menacing and accurate to me. Something was always a little "off" with the SC helmet. I think the main reason I like Moncal is the wider lense and deeper grooves with the "saggy eyes." It has sharper angles which I like as well. It's definitely a bit bigger but even as a smaller person I don't think it's too big. It's easier to fit electronics in the Moncal as well. Both vendors had excellent communication and I recommend either one. Both are great but I'd say the Moncal looks way cooler in the end. I haven't tried Moncal's armor but I love my SC armor personally Anyway, here are the comparison shots, Moncal is on the right (or bottom depending on your screen) and SC on the left (or top pic of each pair) Side by side Front Underneath Top: you can see that the SC has a lot stubbier visior Sides Wearing: this...this right here is where SC starts to lose me. For some reason I looove how Moncal looks. I love the SC armor and the vendor but man Moncal blows me away by how cool it looks 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnkelPaschulke Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Has anyone seen this new bucket by ironmotion? He is currently doing a prototype. Looking good so far. The bolt won’t match Lancer Standards I guess. I‘ve already told him my opinion about this. I don’t know if he will offer a full armor kit. Usually he‘s doing TD and TK armor. Maybe a future source for European based Scouts.Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Interesting, thanks for the heads up on this Arne. Do you by any chance have any images of a fully assembled helmet from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnkelPaschulke Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 He just made the first test pulls. I guess he'll add more pictures to his instagram profile when he's got one assembled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Gotcha, please keep us updated if you see them post more images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnkelPaschulke Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 He posted some new pictures on his IG. In September he will present a completely build one at the Noris Force Con. Because he's making some prototypes for the TD I guess he will be doing the complete armor later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks Arne. Looks like a decent helmet and I don't see any major issues so far with regard to clearance. I did notice that on his model, the surface around the ear hole looks like it's flat, while the production helmets are more rounded.

OnkelPaschulke Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I see what you mean but maybe it’s just the lightning or the test pull. The forms do look like they rounded. I‘ll keep my eyes on it or maybe I just ask hin. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jusdrewit Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Here is a quick comparison I did of the just announced Black Series Scout trooper helmet vs RS Prop Masters (RS on the left). Not bad IMO, but I'll leave it to the experts here for more feedback. Hope this helps 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Thank you for the composite image, Andrew. Yes, the armory team is currently looking at the recently released photos of the Black Series Scout helmet. It does look promising, but we'll prob have more detailed feedback once we get closer to seeing the in-hand reviews. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Specifics on required mods would need to come from the responsible detachments, in this case Whitearmor for the TKs. Speaking generally, some black series helmets are closer in accuracy than others, but I believe all of them require some amount of modifications for 501st approval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
