THAWK819 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah, I have and extra KS bucket layiing around that I wasn't sure if I was going to try to sell or trade... but seeing the development of this helmet pretty much makes up my mind. I'm going to have to sell it to score some funds for one of these bad boys. That is one beautiful helmet.
Acrylikhan Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Agreed. Must be tricky to get it right, but you are SO close, it would be a shame to stop now. Really think with the last few improvements you'll have a helmet that will kick arse. Agreed! Looks like the troopers are lining up for the new bucket! I'll be glad to have one that will fit my watermelon sized head.
Guest Phrost Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Everytime i see a post in this thread i get all excited Oh man, cant wait til you (hopefully) start selling these I...want...one... so...bad...
lonewolf Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Just got new decals made , now a bit bigger, the three brow lines were too thin in comparison to the original. I spent yesterday making a sculpt/mould for the chin cup and vacformed a few this morning,
Guest Skupilkinson Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 *drool*!!!!! I must have one of these! John, your dedication to this never ceases to amaze me!
Chex Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Seeing it on like that...makes me want one even more...and I didn't think that was possible.
Darth Voorhees Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Yes!! So awesome bro..think ya got thhat perfect!
ukscout Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 one word - lush when can I get one but seriously can I buy that one ?
Guest synaptyx Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Hi John, sitting here with Andy. Just wanted to say that this is and awesome thread. Loving the pics and seeing the progress of the shape coming together. Great stuff, mate! :D
Arcturus1020 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Simply amazing work! Count me in if you do a run.
ArtFrane Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Brilliant! Man, I was all set to start off my adventures in 501st-land with a TK set. You know, go classic, get my kit building skills up to speed. No way I'm going to put off building a TB now. LW, please put me on your extensive waitlist. I must have one of these lids!

Darth Voorhees Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Any further progress on this bud? I cant wait to get my hands on one of these!
TB-7076 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Oh I feel the pain too ...a red carpet event soon and still I have to go with the bloody DP modidied :/
lonewolf Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Sorry guys , I have been busy doing other stuff lately, life is a bit upside down but the helmet is still being tinkered with, the eye area is a bit better now.I hope to have something better soon.

elwyn5150 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I'm keen on getting one of these helmets too! How do you all think the experience of wearing this will compare to the fibreglass of MLC? I know this is jumping the gun a bit: I need a bucket before November for a charity fundraising event. Do you think these will be available in-time for that? Should I go for the MLC v3 to make that deadline?
loosetoon Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I wouldn't put any sort of deadline on this helmet project. My advice would be to go with any other current helmet provider.
Dart Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 ^Agreed.^ This is something that I can see being available *maybe* next year or late this year. Can't rush the guy.
TB-7076 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Look at it from the bright side - at least LW is not promising anything he cannot fullfil. But I know the feeling
elwyn5150 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I wouldn't put any sort of deadline on this helmet project. My advice would be to go with any other current helmet provider. Thanks for the advice. I also don't want to put any more pressure on LW than everyone else already has.
Darth Voorhees Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Im personally in no rush...i just want it! LOL! i have my MLC3 that will tide me over till this comes to fruition!
Ducman82 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I will FOR SURE want one. "id pay extra to be bumped to the top of any Queue." hehehehehe Very nice work.
Ursus Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Absolute, utter... AWESOMENESS!!! I'd make the swim to get one. My KS was a welcome challenge to build, having built an AT, a TS and a TK (now a TD) from our H-I molds (lots of gluing and shiming and such to fit different body types). Glad you are taking the time to do it right! Having seen the post on the TB helmet that came from Steve Sansweet's collection, including the inside details... plus the info on how they were made by the guys who made them: you are on the right track!! I don't mind a mm off here or there: anyone that close to take the measurement is WAY too close anyway. Keep us all posted! I'd gladly get in on a pre-order if that helps to make the decision to kit these up for folks. Did I forget to use the word "AWESOMENESS"?
