hi everybody, I've been lurking around here on the board for a while, but I've just received my helmet today and wanted to share some pictures of what is ...
Welcome to posting, kredepops. That's a nice looking helmet. You say you got that from ebay? Do you have any story behind it? Such as who it's made by, and how...
Thanks GB, I can't stop looking at it :) I don't know how many were made, but I don't think it was that many. It was made by Steve Altmann, who had borrowed...
Oh, that's an Altmann? Must be nice to be able to just borrow the original from LFL and make a mold from it. I plan to make a version of the helmet from each...
Yes, Vader's mask in all three movies was painted two-tone. The black/grey colour scheme was used so that the mask could be seen more easily. It's based on an...
chuck, michelle - I didn't know about the two tone paintjob either before I saw pictures of the helmet which were not from the movies, it's a great trick...
... thought of another idea. We have C Collars at work, what you use to support the neck when in an accident and spinal injuries. You see them on ER all the...
Exactly. You're not supposed to notice it. The grey on kredepop's mask is a little lighter than it should be I think, which is why it's noticable. With the...
I've seen those collars and they would probably be about perfect. They're even shaped about right and have the cool padded rolls on them. The only thing would...
I know this is silly considering most probly woodnt notice it, but I have a Michael Keaton batman costume, the one thing i noticed was i didn't have that...
Hi strangers, thought I would share this little tidbit with you. There is a DELUXE helmet on ebay for all to see, with pretty good photos of color etc...
If you go to the acknowledgements page on my web site, wait for the newspaper pictures to load at the bottom of the page. These are photos of ANH Vader when an...
I'd been eyeballing those very same things, too.(the C-spine collars) But I wasn't going to try to walk away with one...or injure my neck so that I could get...
Although..I do have a catalog with all sorts of medical orthopedic, etc..devices in it. I'll have to take a look and see if those things are in there......
... things ... That collar thing sounds like a great idea, my dad works at a hospital so he might be able to get one for me, he said they're pretty expensive...
Hmmmm....just the same as the one you got? Hey, kredepops. I wondered what sort of helmet attachment you have on top of your mask. How do they fit together? GB...
The facemask is attached to the dome with velcro, on the forehead and on the top. It works, but I'd like to attach it more securely somehow. It isn't wearable...
hey, i came across this group during my internet travels and thought it to be the perfect site to ramble on about the creation of my vader costume..lol...im...
Welcome aboard nycpunker. Ah, yes. Bondo. I'm very familiar with that myself =) Myself, I'd like to see your before and after shots. I've often wondered what...
I didn't want to speak up, because I wasn't sure...so I went to the ebay ad to see some other pictures of the mask and read the guy's write up. My verdict: It...
This helmet is pretty close to the one I got, actually I think that it's also one of those Altmann deluxe helmet that they only made a few of. I was also...
Having done some vacforming...I'm wondering why the helmet would have to be altered in that particular way to make it vacformable. I can think of other...
