lonewolf Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thanks for the great comments guys, I have been working on the jawline, again today, it is a bit longer, the whole build has been an obsessive task, I just don't want to offer something that isn't right, the ABS pinseal is nice and strong, pretty nice to shape and sand. I will try to get a final lid together and see about making a few to sell. Time as always is hard to find, I , like everyone else just wants a nice lid to troop in.

Chex Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I agree...it's about time someone took the time, and put for some serious effort in giving us a really accurate looking bucket. Just put me on the list when you open one up lol... So..do I need to send you some black abs to get you to make one in black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Manny, yes it is a bit of work to do, I agree. I wanted to have a lid that was as true to an original as I could do. Not everyone's cup of tea for sure. A kit form of this lid could really have folks pulling their hair out . The MLC V3 or a finished KS is the answer to most folks prayers.

Chex Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I think the LW helmet is the answer to our prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0wboi Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Id just like to add that lid looks awesome! Put me on the list for "will gladly buy a finished one"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the honest answer. As an ex ARC trooper clone, I know all about the pains of that. Now I got to decide if I want accuracy or something that will require less maintenance. I don't have the tools or resources like I used to. I will keep monitoring this in the meantime. Thank you for offering this up to the community!

The MLC V3 or a finished KS is the answer to most folks prayers. I have no probelm pulling some hair out for the sake of having a bucket this accurate and being assembled the same as the screen used ones. In my opinion, this is a masterpiece!

TB-7076 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I just wet my pants....simply gorgeous. I will examine it closely as always but I'm just amazed how pretty and authentic this build came out. Only thing I personally dislike is how the visor seems to fall off the right side but maybe that is due to the mentioned difficulties in assembling the helmet. Definately the right decision to expand the snout and the side view looks much better now that the proportions and alignment of visor and dome got reworked and optimized. If you ask me - the Ferarri among the replica scout helmets out there! I take a bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
