There was a thread once I think that
explained all the current helmets that
are in circulation and their names &
abbreviations. Does someone know what
thread that was?
If there isn't any...
can someone list them and line up some
pics? I am curious to see them side by
side. Also...I'm getting very confused
with all the abbreviations (ex. MSH, MLC,
MH, etc.). :wacko
thanks!
That is a great idea! Here is some comparison pics

Isn't the "original ROTJ from the Lucas Archives" pictured there actually the damaged ESB stunt helmet that I know is in one of my books...Best Of The Lucas Film Archives I think it is?
It is a great idea -- I know I could have used a site like that when I first joined.
Cheers!

Thanks Micke.
We should do that for the ones seen
on this forum most often (MSH, MLC,etc.).
Yeah jeezy, i think you're right...it is an ESB! :p

This was kind of time consuming to compile and format, so I hope this is what you were wanting to see. ;)

Great job Mr.Fettish!
Yeah...perfect! Exactly what I was
asking for.
Thanks! :)
Cool thread, now all we need is a comparison picture of all the helmets side by side. :)
Ask Seeker for a side by side comparison of them all,
he should have them all by now. :lol jk, Seek!
Thanks for compiling the list and the photos, BobaFettish!:thumbsup

You done good, BF!:D:thumbsup
Thanks guys. You know, HS, I almost added yours to the list, but yours wasn't abbreviated. ;)
With so many quality choices, it's no wonder why the demand for DP's has slowed down.
;)
The time is NEAR :D
Glad to see ya'll haven't forgot about me ..
Lots in the works ... so little time. But, good things come, to those who wait.
Hang in there .... ;)
**EDIT**
To those that have PM'd or e-mailed me, I am working on responses to each and all, but it will take some time. But rest assured ...
Glad to hear this from you FP, I been waiting for a very loooong time. :)
Haha, yeah FP...I'm waiting for mine too! :D
I thought you just don't like me :(
;)
Thanks for letting us know you're workin on replies dude...much appreciated!
Bobo
Good to see you're still around FP. I guess you've been busy. ;)
Praise be to the great Fett gods, the pride has returned unto us :cheering :cheers :cheering
ST :lol
Acutally, Juan, I'm hoping that this could probably be accomplished at one of the upcoming conventions. We just get all of the Fetts together, line up our helmets at varying angles, and start snapping pictures. There are several people here who have one or two, but I don't know of anyone who has them all. I'd also like to see a DP Deluxe and standard added to the mix.Quote:

I too am glad to see FP is back I have tried to stay in contact with him but understand that he is very busy. Much like the rest of you cant wait to get my bucket.
Well done BF for putting all the helmets and histories together!
:thumbsup
Welcome back FP! Whatcha been up to?
:cheers
:lol drvfett, I couldn't have said that better myself!:lolQuote:

and to FP, I'm glad to see you're still here among the living - Welcome back! We missed ya' man!:D
I was told this was a fg recast of a DP Deluxe on the stand, by a very reliable source. The one on the right is my scratchbuilt metal jobby. The recast was the first ever in-person Fett helmet I ever saw. I made mine from the ref cd pics and a bit of guesstimating.

MMM, by making your helmet just using Ref pictures it turned out really accurate when compzred to the that Delux.
BF, that is a great idea. :)
Thanks, Defiler. Witnesses can attest that as cool and calm as I look in the pic, I was actually shaking like a leaf. Only two minutes before had I seen the DP Deluxe and compared the two.
After thinking about all the time in it, and the even longer set-up and planning, and always wondering in my mind if my efforts would be laughable or a waste of time, the only emotion besides WooHoo! I could muster was shock and shaking. Notice the thousand-yard-stare.
The only thing I can say is that I built this all scaled to the GI helmet I used as the crown. This supports my theory that the original possibly used a pull of the same. Had I used a crown of my own making, no doubt the helmet would have turned out radically different and laughable.
BobaFettish seemed to sum it up, I learned a few new things now :p
He LIVES!!! :lol You always know when FP is gone for a while, he's cooking up something good!Quote:

Isn't there also an Aurora helmet? or is that the Movie Sized helmet?Quote:

::edit- names removed to protect the innocent::
The Aurora helmet was a Movie Sized helmet painted by Rogue Studios.
I thought the Aurora was Cking's N15D helmet (very good, very rare), not MSH.
I stand to be corrected if wrong, but I'm pretty sure RS waxed lyrical about the quality and praised N15D's work.
:lol there's another bucket to add to the mix. Bit of an urban myth, but they are out there, quietly being brilliant.
Si

Natty's (N15D) helmet is the MSH.
Wow! Han Hunter you really know how to flatter someone. Thank you for the compliment. But alas all I did was throw some paint in the right order onto an MSH. I hope to do more soon. At least until after a little self imposed break (Dragon con).

I do indeed stand corrected :o . Apologies TD!
Si
I be knowing my helmets, HH! ;)
Yeah, sorry man! :)
Daft of me to have ever thought you of all people would have made such a mistake, it's just that I've heard one or two people say they had "one of Natty's buckets", without mentioning that they were the MSH, so I thought they were seperate items.
And as I had only heard a couple of people mention it, I thought Natty had perhaps done a tiny run for a few mates and they were hugely rare.
Right then, were's that dunce's cap?
Si
:lol
No prob at all, mate. The confusion is easily understandable. No dunce cap needed.... yet! ;)
