Falcon-One Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Well gang, this will be my attempt to construct/sculpt a Kashyyyk helmet. As you can see from the photo I have two examples to take the best fetures from. I will keep all of you up to date on how the construction goes.

Heatshock Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 good luck mate; love watching genuine own sculpt WIP's. you do realise that some original makers also think its bad form to measure off their helmets to make ur own? might want to drop a line to both Mr Bungle and Pghfett just to let em know u are working off their lids. if u really want to have a genuine fan-sculpt; its best to go off reference pic's and put ur spin/intepretation on it. last point - correct if I am wrong tom/mike; but ur lids are based off 2 different sets of ref. images, a "stunt" and "hero" look; so combining em Falcon is likely to make a lid which is neither? ie hence the suggestion of picking ur own set of ref's images to work off; and to keep to. look forward to progress.

mrbungle Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 good points, nate mine is based of the battle scene "the stunt helmet" and pghfett's is based off the gree scene with yoda "the hero". they are different , believe me. me and mike have spent more time looking at those pics than the guys who made the movie.

Sorry Heatshock, I did'nt realize I was ofending people already, and I haven't started yet. I told tom what I was going to do, and I wish that was Mike's helmet. (if it was mike's helmet, then I could use it, but it's not, so I can't) So project is on hold for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 you can always build the 2 helemt kits you already have. all kits do not do the finished product justice. just decide on which helemt you like better and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 wasnt saying u did falcon; soz if it came across like that. this whole game is rather like a big gentleman's club, if u ask before - every1 tends to be really nice abt things (as I am sure Mr Bungle was). But if its done after teh fact, thats when people get slightly miffed. So, so far u've not done anything wrong. IIRC that other lid that u have is one which was of "he who shall not be named" - which was basically recast off a pghfett lid. that alone is gonna be a major re-work to make it accurate. I am a big fan of the KST and theres always room for more fan sculpts! so go ahead if u already have major plans in the works man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skygunbro Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yes good luck its one of the strangest helmets to sculpt. I have some nice reference pics if you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense taken, Tom and Mike are both good eggs and helpful.But if it s Star fortress or one from David Girard(canada) or the German guy then it IS a PGHFETTT helmet, all 3 of those guys recast Mikes helmet.Just so you know.
