Discussion on Got my MS Helmet today! within the Boba Fett Helmet forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; The postman brought me a supprise today! My MS I
The postman brought me a supprise today! My MSI
it
and will sleep with it under my pillow tonight.
No but seriously, this thing is great! Great workmanship, came with all the parts, very clean cast, trimmed nicely (not finished), nice and thick fiberglass. It's bigger than my Don Post 95 and fits my big head nicely. Also MS shipped it quickly (only a few weeks turn around time) I'll post some photo's later.
:thumbup
yep those are very very nice buckets. Perfect flare to them
man, it got sent to your house?
it was supposed to come here.
stupid FEDEX.
how do you get in touch w/MS to inquire aobut buying a helmet?
You can PM him, but he is pretty busy these days I'm sure as they just had a little one.Originally Posted by dark knight
thanks I'll try agian
OK, here is the photo's I said I'd post. It's kinda hard to tell from the photo's but the MS does have alot more room on the inside than the Don Post 95. The DP my nose hits the T-visor and the MS it does not. I also like the fact that the MS is taller, so your chin is not hanging out below the bottom of the helmet.

that looks really well made. will look stunning painted, happy painting.
That looks great!
DA
I did my "learning" paint job on the Don Post.
looking forward to seeing it completed!!
what kind of style do you want to paint it into?
I think I'm going with ANH special edition (yellow kill marks) My suit is ROTJ
huh? A New Hope special edition is completly ROTJ
Oh man, here we go again.
I thought it was ROTJ with yellow kill marks on the helmet? Maybe I just don't know what I'm Talking about.Anyway that's what I'm going to do ROTJ with yellow kill marks. It seems to me that George Lucas has change it several times already, that I personally don't think it's that big of a deal if it's a little different. I think I will go with what "I" like.
By all means do what you like, it is YOUR costume.
here's a Screencap of Boba in ROTJ
Once you get to the link, click it twice for full size
The special edition anh boba was rotj from the neck down but with the esb helmet, i think.
From what I've been told, the SE ROTJ is the suit featured in The Visual Dictionary. This is the pic I'm basing my son's costume on. ESB Helmet, ROTJ neck down. Hope this helps.
Cruzer
Yep, Cruzer Fett ROTJ w/ ESB bucket
OK, I finally got around to finishing my bucket. I used TK-409's instructions for painting and T-visor. I had gotten a BM t-visor and even though it was very nice, it did not fit the MS helmet. I know it is not a Spidey Fett or Marrow Sun Paint job, but I'm happy with it. This is only my 2nd helmet I painted so don't be too critical (not bad for a newbe)

not bad. Hey, that's not "shubi-wan" armor behind you is it? It is isn't it??
where did you get that visor anyhow? The paint job is supurb.
Looking good, take some pictures w/ the helmet in natural like because i think the flash distorts the colors alot. Other than that looks mighty fine. Well done
Man! I can't wait to get mine!
That bucket looks great! Way better than mine, I'm new to the whole do-it-yourself props. Great job!
BTW 'cookiemongoloid' thanks for changing your avatar, I was having nightmares.
OK, here is a better picture. I got the T-visor from a link on TK-409's web page (thanks Chris)

The armor is not "Shubie-Wan" I got it from some guy in Livermore Ca. It's Sintra but it will do until I can get the good stuff. If you throw a good (screen accurate) paint job on Sintra armor, it's do-able.
PW, That is a great paintjob! I hope mine turns out as nice as yours!OK, here is a better picture. I got the T-visor from a link on TK-409's web page (thanks Chris)
The hard'est part for me is taking your time, I'm a guy that wants things done! You can't do that here, you really gotta take your time, other wise it shows.PW, That is a great paintjob! I hope mine turns out as nice as yours!
No problem. I'm sorry if my avatar offended anyone here. I just have a thing for gore. One of the administraters asked me to remove it. Haha. Sorry if anyoen was offended once again.
What is "MS" short for? I'm interested in getting one as I have a fairly large head as well, plus it just looks great! How much do those go for and who would I contact to acquire one?
Most of the time if you hear something infront of a helmet name that isnt rubies or master replicas or hasbro it is usually referring to the artist that made or painted the helmet. MS is short for marrow sun, who is a member here and a highly respected prop maker and buisnessman. He has a "mystery" helmet kit on ebay right now I believe. I bought one from him on ebay and I was more than happy with my purchase. Just pm him.
Is there any difference in size between an MS and a BM?
I have heard that MS has a version one and a version two. What are the differences? PW can't wait to see your helm next week!
The best answer would be from someone who has had both!
Thanks for meeting up with me! It was great to meet you! I will be PMing MS to see if I can get a helm. It's nice to know that there's something out there that fits! Your helm looked great too! I will be lucky if I can get mine to look that good!
