Thank you! :) They're definitely a lot of fun! I do have my eyes on a First Order Stormtrooper helmet eventually! You should definitely give it a go, would you be doing the red streaks from the opening scene? :)
Nice helmet nice result, but that design is not an original trilogy Stormtrooper helmet it looks more like a Rogue 1 based helmet / hasbro black series helmet Disney-fied design. The original trilogy screen used stormtrooper helmets were very asymmetrical and just weren't straight, plus the eye lenses are in fact green tinted, the blue tube stripes are not recessed cut into the plastic in the original Star Wars film they were hand painted on, and by the time The Empire Strikes Back and Jedi came along they were using stick on decals this also applies to the grey areas around the back of the helmet and below the eyes with the black vertical stripes no recessed ridges ( again that's a modern Rogue 1/ Disney invention) The black band above the eyes is supposed to be a piece of black rubber trim. The ears on the helmet are again Rogue 1/ hasbro era, not as on the original trilogy helmet. Both the black vocoder and aerators are nothing like the actual originals, and black trim at the bottom of the helmet isn't called a neck seal it's just rubber trim, a neck seal is a completely different item worn around the neck and part of the armour and suit as part of the costume. Checkout RS Propmasters they specialise in making stormtrooper helmets accurately as theirs are cast from an original screen used helmet.
@DraconiumProps OK glad to help out, it's like lot of things until you find out or someone tells you, etc. In the original Star Wars trilogy the original costumes / props were very wonky and most not straight at all on close inspection, for example I was given an original Empire Strikes Back screen used Hoth rebel rifle and blaster back in the 80s as my uncle and cousin both worked on the original films at Elstree studios, my guns were all over the place the gun barrel wasn't straight nor was rifle butt basically it didn't look great up close as it wasn't ment to be seen in close up as everything back in the 70s and 80s was sculpted and cast by hand, they didnt have computers to make things nice and symmetrical as they do now. you may or may not know there were two types of stormtrooper helmet in the original trilogy "Stunt" for more background type shots with a piece of green tinted film for eyes, with a wide grey teeth section, and "Hero" helmets worn by Luke and Han to be seen in close up shots that have nice plastic bubble lenses with a smaller the grey teeth area, thats much smaller than on the stunt helmet and painted with much more care for close up shots. All the best 👍
Gotta love sanding always, sick build!
awesome to see this in its final form after seeing it go from plastic to prop
It's a satisfying process isn't it!
Very nice, very good and also very nice! All jokes aside, great video mate! Xx
Thank you dude!x
Quality job and a great vid!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
dope dude👍
Thank you!
Nice job! I’ve been wanting to do this one or the Finn version so this gave me a little extra push
Thank you! :) They're definitely a lot of fun! I do have my eyes on a First Order Stormtrooper helmet eventually! You should definitely give it a go, would you be doing the red streaks from the opening scene? :)
Apprently rubbing a real newpaper againt stormtrooper armor will give it a good worn out look for cheap.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that on the body armor :)
tree supports in my prints leave the print much cleaner
Definitely, 95% of the time I go with tree. It has to be a very specific reason for normal at this point lol
@DraconiumProps the only reason I use normal is I know your not going to see where it's been and fir a speed print but trees ftw lol
But I asked you for a unicorn pink one???
That's scheduled for February 29th!
