Does anyone know the proportipns of the new helmet? Is it a 1:1 of what Hayden is wearing? I'm just wondering if it's going to be scaled down and made ...
Hello all, I put a picture in my folder "Steilhand" in the photos section, along with the comparison Voice Changer/CA stuff, about my Sintra Armor. I was...
I've never worked with Sintra, but the foam core may be reactive (chemically) to some resins and the like. I would suggest you take some scrap pieces and test...
I've posted a picture in the photo album of what I understand to be the new helmet. It looks like it has some characteristics of the DP C/A helmet, like the...
Forgot to mention that the photo is at the very bottom of the page, not in any folder, named New Rubies Super Dlx Helmet. ... be ... DP ... it ... C/A. ... or ...
My biggest issue with the helmet so far: its name. I really hate how Rubies names their products, after this, the Rubies Vader line will go: Vader Standard ...
Hmm, I might try to make a mold of it in the distant future, might as well try it one of these days. Until then, this black lacquer you speak of, how thick is...
Hello all, I was wondering, how many people here expect (or hope) to be finished by the release of ROTS? I really really hope to, but this armor is really...
Well, I've only seen it used on wood products, namely martial arts weapons. I imagine it could be built up in layers, but a typical application is about as...
I'm not really sure what to say right now other than f#ck... My plaster dome was doing just fine and was the perfect size as far as i could tell. it just...

No matter what the description of the helmet says, its off the old Don post molds. If it were made from the ROTS Vader, it would be symetrical. The ROTS...

Hello all, While an extremely avid Star Wars fan and collector, the vast majority of my resources go into Militaria collecting, namely German stuff. I recently...
Yeah, it has always been my understanding that Vader's helmet had more of a samurai influence than anything else. ... German ... absolutely ... in ... German...
Steilhand, I had some more ideas for your armor coating. They may be stupid, I don't know, but here they are: 1.)Liquid bed liner (you know, for a pick-up...

Hmm, I like the truck bed liner stuff idea... as well as the Plasti- Cote stuff. I dont think paint would work, as I need something pretty thick to smooth off...
Yeah, the "Fedayeen". Helmets are made of Fiberglass, and have a VERY garish looking insignia on their left-hand side... and a very funny looking liner system....
I was at a hardware store tonight and found something that just might be exactly what you're looking for. It is a SPRAY-ON version of the plastic coating dip...
I talked to my sculpture professor today and he led me to an interesting approach for my dome. I bought some pink foam board (the sturdy type) and am glueing...
Im pretty sure its okay to mention a name brand product, I think that rule only applies when the product is unlicensed. You saying the name of that is like me...
