Man this looks really good, I bought this same helmet a while back. This is a awesome modification on a inexpensive helmet that really makes it look like a pricier helmet. I might have to do this 👌
Sandy A yes... lol pennies! :) I just finished the other one and it came out better then the first. Now on to that scout trooper... Yikes, its going to take a miracle lol
i think it is cool. i got tons of rubies stuff. batman costumes etc. i know it is not the best but i still like it. i like these helmets. and it looks cool. i just got my first star wars helmet. i got the rubies storm trooper helmet and i just did a unboxing today and i show how well it was packed. etc. i wear it. do photos of it. and show the inside. i would like a x wing pilot helmet also. i like how you modded the other helmet.
I’m sure it will look great. I just ordered my tie fighter helmet from amazon yesterday. I’m going to try and get it to look as good as yours. I’m also making a stormtrooper Armor, getting ready for San Diego Comic Con.
What paint did you use ? And what clear, I'm wanting to eventually convert one to an atat pilot but I want to rebuild the first one like you did.. thanks
I don't remember, .. I used just spray paint I bought at walmart.. I sprayed silver on to some cardboard and dipped my brush in it.. I don't buy regular paint from a bottle. I'll check my stock later and see if I can remember what brand I used. Sorry couldn't be much help. Still was a easy job to complete.
I'm not sure on the 501st, but I did see a video on this same helmet before where the guy... Who said he was in the 501st, and it could be made into a approved helmet, but I'm not sure what changes would need to be done. My helmets I can tell you displays well and looks cool. Good luck on your project.
Nope, I do have the Hasbro voice changer one that's a half helmet I painted and hangs on the wall which looks cool. th-cam.com/video/MpQZtxSIyTU/w-d-xo.html
I'm sorry, I don't do commission, but it's really easy to do. I'll try to post another video by next week and I'll go over the process again. But it is really easy.... I'm not a painter and really a novice at it. I may also be selling the helmets later in the year as now I'm not using them and there in storage.
Wow! I have one of these for display purposes only with the intentions of modifying. Looks great.

Great job! Like how you added the hose and washers. “Pennies”!

I just got it I am planning on doing a costume on a tie pilot I am so excited also can I make it 501st approved ?

Is this rubies helmet super big? I’ve heard it is. Will it work ok for just a costume that’s not screen accurate? Thanks!
Yes, not 501st, but still decent. You could pair it up with a black jumpsuit and boots for a fun costume.
Is the second tie fighter helmet rubies too
Yes, they are both rubies, I just gave them different paint schemes
Where can I find one?
Rubies doesn't make them anymore I don't think, so maybe ebay?? If not.. check etsy...
Scout Trooper helmet actually has a 3.4 out of 5 star rating on Amazon.ca
Doesn't look TOO BAD to me..?
Do you have the black series Kylo ren helmet
Nope, I do have the Hasbro voice changer one that's a half helmet I painted and hangs on the wall which looks cool.

The Deluxe helmets are normally 2-piece helmets
If I ship it to you can you paint it for me?
