Kinda hard to measure accurately with no visor in yet, but this helmet's 230mm ear-to-ear ( Sorry, typo earlier, I said 24 by mistake and didn't notice! ) and about 260mm back-to-front - Maybe a few mm short.
That's measuring from the inside.

And, yeah, I'm an idiot who needs to remember when he's working in cm and when he's working in mm!
Not that it affects this discussion any... Just makes my hands look tiny!

I measured my Rubies Jango bucket, the BM is basicly more flared, other then that, it's almost the same with a difference of 3 to 5 mm at certain points.
hmz... sorry Boba Maker, but I don't think I'll be buying your helmet kit then, since this one is a bit to small (im 1m87cm long, so I ot a pretty good form for Boba, but the DP en Rubies helmets look a bit small in comparisson to my body lenth.) I probably will buy your range finder, ear-cap an visor somewhere in the future, thnx for your assistance!
again, your sculpt looks awesome, but just not what I need.

Is JudgeDweddz still around? Maybe he could chip in here and confirm the origins of the bucket I bought from Prymer via him
I'm still around. The helmet I built is based entirely on JANGO referances. Since there are several subtle differences between the two, I didn't even look at any Boba helmets during it's construction, in order to stay true to the Jango look. I don't own any of the other Fett helmets, so I can't give you a good size comparison, but I know it's larger than a vinyl DP, and smaller than a M_S. To put it simply, it's about the same size as the one Tem wore in AOTC. Hope this helps.

I'm unsure as to why there is a debate over this! The Don Post/Rubies buckets are terrible (with the exeption of Rubies collectors Jango), they are deformed and seem to lack depth, not worth the cash! I've just ordered one of Bobamakers helmets safe in the knowledge that it's one of the best out there. I have several Rubies collectors Jango buckets for my fanfilm but as already pointed out, there are some differances between Jango's and Boba's helmets, so there is no point in comparing.

No problem. I'm 1m 88 and my mannequin is about 1m 90 and my helmet looks right on both of us. I think the point that Cal196 made about the sculpt being more important than the dimensions of the bottom is a very good point. When my helmet is on my head my chin is a good 2" above the bottom of the helmet, but eveyone's head varies in shape and size.
Hopefully we've answered the original question here though, my helmet is bigger than a DP95... and learned a lot along the way

I know that I'll be getting one as soon as I can, looks like theres a helmet to fit at last !!!
and it will be nice not to have my nose touching against the visor for once
Have to disagree about Don Posts being terrible... be it a 95, 96, 97.. give a little attention and they look quite good

thnx people, especially BM himself, that last post made me wonderin.. maybe it is what I need...maybe I will buy it, I mean, even if its still a bit to small, im startin a new Fett project soon, so I need a new helmet anyway, this version might just aswell start with an awesome BM helmet.

I'm sorry to take this thread on a slight tangent, but I was noticing people mentioning their height in relation to the rest of the costume. Obviously, you don't want people to have their heads in disproportion to the rest of their body - although it's kinda weird because I have a large head, but I'm only 5'8" tall. You don't think that will cause too many problems, do you?
But I'm glad this thread has come up because of the fact that I do have a large head, and obviously helmet size will be important for me.

errr. hmmm, math is not my specialty, but if i did it right (the measurements and conversion from inches to mm), this is what I get from my DP 95:
Height: 9 1/2"
Earpiece to Earpiece: 8 3/4"
Front to back: 10"
Top Visor Rim: 6 3/4"
These are all approx. calculations. But it doesn't sound right. A little help? :rolleyes

I respectfully disagree with the all DP's are terrible. While the DP 97 is an abomination, the 96 isn't too bad and my 95 is a beautiful shape and size (for me anyway). Especially when you look at this picture:
A rubies Jango and my DP 95. Notice the odd deformed ear pieces on the rubies. It makes the bucket look ... odd...
The Rubies are all crap, from what I have seen and heard, but some people seem to make them work.
But that's just me.
