MARROW SUN said:Why on a helmet that you've spent so much time reproducing with "laser" accuracy would you intentionally make your dent inaccurate? It doesn't make sense to use the MSH-2 dent as reference for your sculpt when it is WELL known the mystery helmet has the precise characteristics?! Oh and what the heck are you trying to point out with that "thickness" line between the two helmets. Obviously the MSH-2 visor section is trimmed out on that picture, what point are you trying to make? Is your helmet going to be intentionally that thick in the visor section? That wouldn't be accurate either. The reason for why the MS2 helmet comes through so thick in the visor section is the way I've clayed in the visor and mandibles as do some other helmets available.
I know I just did laundry but why is it I still smell socks?
I guess the point many people are trying to make is, if your so darn good at making all this stuff, why do you ever need to buy anything if your not going to use it for your costume? Why buy BKBT stalk if its so easy to make one ??????? Why buy a MLC RF if you can make your own? Why buy anyones helmet if you can make your own ?????????

considering some of the Judgemental and condemming comments people have come out with, I didn't think this question would be that hard to answer?...
and it was a simple enough question...
again is that a ...........NO?

Master-Jedi-Allma said:If I made a fake watch and sold it to someone...
who in turn thought...
"its good but I could make a better fake watch MORE like the real watch"...
and does, then sells them to someone different...
who in turn thinks..
"its better than those OTHER fake watches, but I could make a better fake watch EVEN MORE like the real watch...
and does, then sells them to someone different again...
who in turn thinks...
and so on and so on...
Does the first fake watch maker have a right to say...
"you cant make a BETTER fake watch than the one I sold you!"...
"It was MY fake watch that insipred you to make your fake watch!"
Surely the only person who has a right to complain is the person who designed and made the REAL watch!...
Get my drift?...

Prymer13 said:I think the main reason was to inquire about the similarities, as well as the coincidences surrounding the developments and upgrades this bucket has gone through. We have only been shown the pics that BM has posted himself.
If you want a reason as to why we are inquiring, use that nice little scroll button on your mouse and check out the the pictures above. Step outside the box and take a look at what we're sitting in. There are alot of people, myself included, that have seen the pics he posted, we've heard or seen some of the purchase he has made, and wondered why after buying a bucket from another member, that he has a new bucket sculpt.
I am not accusing anyone. I have not in any earlier posts accused anyone. But here is my line of thought. If I bought a helmet from a local member and then made my own from scratch it is logical that I would use it in some way, shape, or form. Would I just use pics and scan them, scale them and have them all over the place and NOT USE the actual helmet that I have in hand? NOT even for reference? Not even once to check shape, or size, or anything else? And the second you do pick it up and alter yours in any way(big or small) you should make mention of what you have used to make that bucket.
It is a nice looking helmet, a very impressive piece.
*EDIT*
Read your reply on the other thread. I thank you for the info and stand, it's a very nice bucket.

And now the guy takes on the ultimate task, to scratch build his own helmet, and you shoot the guy down in flames.
Hello?
Look closer guys, his lid looks nothing like any of the others out there. The modifications he has made and shown in his posts show that this is perhaps one of the best you are going to get.
And while we are on the subject. Why aren't we questioning where Marrow Sun's helmet came from originally?
If we are gonna start questioning 'origins' here, let's start with a guy who has had the 'movie accurate' monopoly for a while now.
Seems to me that Marrow Sun is steamed because his 'rework' he is currently touting looks a poor comparison to the BM in many aspects.
You guys are always so quick to judge someone for having a go at making something great.
You only have to look at some of the comments on BKBT's New Jango lid thread. Shoot a guy down for trying to make something cool.
This kind of stuff makes me ashamed to be a fan.
E2K13 said:Yes...I get it!
You love fake watches but it is irrelevant to this situation.
mandalore697 said:I totally agree with you Mason.
BM makes some amazing stuff. We shouldn't forget that we are all trying to get something as accurate as possible, and most of all we are the ones copying a design that doesn't actually belong to any of us.
I can understand how people feel to have their work ripped off, but I don't think we can make accusations without evidence. If we are all striving to replicate a movie accurate helmet, or any costume part for that matter, won't they all be relatively identical?
