Hausi Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 And it´s me again with my second take on the infamous Davin Felth/"Look Sir, droids" helmet. While the weathering on the DA lid was still drying, I started trimming my Anon Stormtrooper HDPE kit (have I already said that I love these kits?) I tried my best to capture all the small details on this specific helmet: After being happy with the alignment of the parts came painting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 I´m going to try to cut a long story short here as I have already posted so many helmet builds here. So on we go with pics of the finished project and comparisons to screenshots: my helmet outside: and inside (artificial lighting) I always take pictures from a certain distance and then zoom in to get the angle right.

Hausi Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Thank you Thomas! Some more pics. This helmet has an amazing amount of fun little details: screen reference: mine: RoCKo was so kind to provide the following reference pics of the helmet (note: cleaned and obviously taken after filming) always followed by a pic of my helmet arranged in the same way: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I had a Lego Stormtrooper Commander helmet lying around, those are in my opinion the best miniature helmet out there but the come with unpainted ears and the lines inside the traps and tears, so I painted the ears and also painted over the lives and finally used a toothpick to apply the specific weathering details for the "Look Sir, droids" helmet to have a "mini me" version. Final shot shows the two Anon Stormtrooper HDPE helmets I have built. Cheers mates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGuy Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Super-duper! Lovely work. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Gorgeous Urs, you did it again! You’re a detail nut just like me, I hope I can achieve a similar nice helmet when I’m getting back to my Davon helmet again. For now it took me almost two weeks to add some more minor details to my TK bust. Take a look here When I’m going on with the same speed the Felth helmet will be finished around 2030! Note to myself: Never ever give away any reference pictures to Urs again, so that he can’t set the standard higher! Nah, just kidding, bro! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks Dan and Roger! Without your great reference pics, I wouldn't have been able to do this, so thanks again for providing them Roger. I'm sure your helmet will turn out great, good things are worth waiting for, cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 There are no more reference pics of this helmet, at least none that I know of, I am sorry. But these should actually work fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Here's another. Like I said, any others are on my old hard drive that I cannot access. In fact, I have 2 that date back 20 years - both have some rare photos of helmets and armour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 They are not broken, but they are old. I am not computer savvy and don't know how to retrieve them. 15mm is a good size for the tube stripes, though some may be shorter or longer by 1mm or 2mm. They didn't use a stencil for the stripes but it's obvious they used tape to mask the edges, so that's where there will be a slight difference in stripe width from helmet to helmet. The amount of curve on the stripes vary too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of curve on the stripes vary too. Some people specialize in retrieve files from drives, im just saying, there is hope. I noticed that, yes, the curve and thickness of the stripes vary even in the same line of stripes. The thickness seems to be something around 3mm, but as you said, that, for sure varies among the helmets.

henselmonster Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I have one of these helmets on order (for about a year now I think) excited for when they finally ship, they look worth the wait for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want an accurate 1/6 helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want an accurate 1/6 helmet It's probably a little smaller than 1/6 scale. But it's a really cool helmet. I would suggest getting a used one of these as the prizes for new ones are going up right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
