Need some advice on picking/finding an ESB helmet
Hi. I'm new to TDH and could use some advice as to how to pick a high quality/proper helmet model and who to get it from. It seems like there are too many choices and I could really use some help. I'll be going with a Manowar jet pack and Wickedbeard armor, and Fettdad is helping me finish off my real Webley so I'm getting a start on my screen accurate ESB Fett project but the helmet issue I am stalled out on at the start. I'm 6'3" with a longer neck and a little bigger head so a proper sized helmet is definitely an issue for me. Any advice out there?

I did find a guy named Randy at Sith Planet who quoted some great prices but I know nothing of his work and can find no references.

Never heard of him, best bet is to get one from the cargo hold here either finished or as a kit and paint it yourself...there are a number of folks who sell them here. Depending on your price range and what your goals are there are plenty available

Any suggestions for model/size for me? This is my biggest question. Seems like there are so many variations by different makers that I have no idea what would work well for me. I'll need a bigger bucket and that's all I know.

I think FPH and the MR and it's remoulds like Asoks FP Budget and the FP Premium runs a little larger than others. But I'm not the expert so hopefully someone else can chip in. :)

That much I know. But maybe I wasn't clear enough.
Re: Need some advice on picking/finding an ESB helmet
there are threads on sizing of helmets...the FPH is bigger than an MR base helmet the MR is slightly larger than the GMH
Re: Need some advice on picking/finding an ESB helmet
Thank you guys! Now I'll just have to start tracking down either a MSH or FPH.

Contact Asok on these boards. He has the molds for the FP helmet, and is casting them in Cold Cast. I have one from him, and it looks great.

Asoks FP is not the same as a FPH though.
Re: Need some advice on picking/finding an ESB helmet
not at all its an MR based helmet
Re: Need some advice on picking/finding an ESB helmet
Oh... thanks for the correction. I assumed it was the same :thumbsup
