Actually better still use the gallery. Long shots would give the best results.
Agreed.....Unless you're wanting a 3d printed copy of the fph2, you need to use gallery reference photos.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question but.. Using a sculpt as a reference pic, which is meant to be pretty damn accurate from what I've seen surely isn't a bad thing?Yeah, I was obviously smoking guano cheeroots; we get so obsessed over copies and copies of copies that it's easy to forget that there's only one standard to aspire to.
What stories? Did Art, Gino et al sell their MFs for FPH2s?
I agree with Andy here. When I did the RWH (Rafal Works Helmet) templates (well, most of my templates and 3D models) I used mainly the GMH and the MR helmets along with images from the exhibits. Nothing beats the originals! If you copy the work of others which has minor flaws, you might aggravate those flaws or do more. Here are some awesome shots of the MF (Malone Fett - direct cast from the Pre-Pro #2 helmet) and the MR (Master Replicas - 3D scanned from the Pre-Pro #3 helmet) ==> http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/pp2-casting-vs-mf-you-judge-22952/ or ==> http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/mr-prototype-helmet-pic-intensive-24030/, and the GMH (Grant McCune Helmet - possibly a later cast from the MF helmet) ==> http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/grant-mccune-boba-fett-helmet-50902/. For more info regarding the origins of the helmets, here's another thread ==> http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/fett-helmet-history-24684/.
Defensive, how? All I'm saying is there isn't an ESB hero cast out there available to buy and unless you had access to the efx mold, you're stuck with second or third best. The fph2 looks good to me and that's all that matters. There are other reasons why I don't like other helmets out there. I have a big head so the gmh looks small on me. The dvh didn't lool that great of a cast when I saw it. No other PP2 helmets were available. So it left me with litttle available options. What's up with the dick measuring contest? No where did I say that the fph2 is superior. All I said was that it looks pretty accurate. Not identical.
