As a new guy I appreciate all the great info, and the warm welcome I've gotten here. It's nice that everyone wants to point you in the right direction. And because of this I ended up buying from asok. As I read more threads like this I'm learning how long a journey the helmet I bought has taken to get to this point and it's neat to see the interest and hard work involved to get it here. I'm surprised more of the character helmets have not been "made over". I like that there is a level of perfection that everyone is shooting for, so thanks to all for your hard work. I also have a question that is a little off topic and as I've only read mention of it in this thread so far (by asok) I was wondering if anyone has taken on the task of making a better Stormtrooper helmet or if it is in the works? If it has already been done then point me in the right direction and take my money please.
