Helmet Chin Strap

**bobamaker** · 07-14-2009, 03:27 PM

Hi

I recently found a 1980's "British Riot Police Helmet" on eBay. I spent a while in search of one of these after seeing a picture here on TDH of Boba's Helmet Chin Strap. These pics show the ILM picture (top left) and the chin strap that I have in comparison. I'm not sure which one of the mods published the picture, but thanks for this.

I'm making a copy for a customer at the moment, so I've made a mould of the plastic chin cup and made a few extra copies from black resin. I'll publish some pics shortly of the moulding process and the finished copies. I've ordered the correct black webbing, velcro and 'D' rings that will make the straps complete.

I'm happy to do a small run of these straps if anyone's interested.

UK - £21 (including shipping)
USA - $37 (including airmail shipping)
EU - € 27 Euros (including Airmail shipping)

**DisposablHero** · 07-14-2009, 09:18 PM

Interested too pending my budget space, would go awesome with the helmet I'm getting from you.

**cr4nky** · 07-14-2009, 10:27 PM

Might also be interested

**stormshadow2100** · 07-15-2009, 04:51 AM

Good find Daz

**mrmandalore** · 07-15-2009, 05:41 AM

I'm up for one of these Daz - will go nicely with the lid I have just received from you.

Cheers.

**Flettch** · 07-15-2009, 08:27 AM

Interested

**FettDad** · 07-15-2009, 01:07 PM

i am interested in one as well...tell me, how does the strap attach to the helmet? thanks for this, D!!

**stormshadow2100** · 07-15-2009, 01:38 PM

Boba fett goes riot

...sorry just had to say that 1

**Darth Voorhees** · 07-15-2009, 08:24 PM

possibly interested here as well..will also go great with my BM lid =)

**Oddball Fett** · 07-16-2009, 12:51 PM

Cool. Interested.

**bobamaker** · 07-16-2009, 01:12 PM

Well the webbing and 'D' rings arrived today, just waiting for the velcro then we're good to go. Here's a few pics of the mould and the original chin cup next to one of my black resin casts, spot the difference

I'm really pleased with this mould, not a single air bubble or blemish

DAZ

**DisposablHero** · 07-16-2009, 07:00 PM

Very cool looking man, absolutely perfect copy. I'm going to guess that the one on the left in the third pic is the copy. Only because of the lesser sheen.

**BH-2647** · 07-17-2009, 02:07 PM

DAZ, just one question:

Is the chin cup for trooping or just for decoration?

Hard Resin at my chin while wearing the helmet seems to be not very comfortable...

**bobamaker** · 07-18-2009, 10:28 AM

perfect for trooping, it looks and feels like plastic.

**BH-2647** · 07-21-2009, 01:11 PM

o.k., I´ll be in for 2 sets, depending on price

**bobamaker** · 07-21-2009, 02:38 PM

**A little update**

I'm still waiting on delivery of the Velcro, everything else is ready to go.

DAZ

**TJDFett** · 07-22-2009, 09:19 AM

If this was on my chin, and keeping my helmet a little more secure, wouldn't talking make my helmet bob as my chin does?

**bobamaker** · 07-22-2009, 01:02 PM

I guess it would, you'd have to speak through gritted teeth like a real bounty hunter

Pretty cool stuff, my friend! I'd be interested in one when you come up with a price.

That's great!!!

After that, how can I argue.... I am totally Interested.

**C1RCA** · 07-23-2009, 02:57 PM

I'm interested as well Daz

**terminal fettler** · 07-30-2009, 07:28 AM

I'd be up for a couple of these...

**Bubba Kenobi** · 07-30-2009, 01:40 PM

Daz I am interestd

**bobamaker** · 08-09-2009, 01:20 AM

Sorry it's taken so long to get these pics finished. Here's a little tutorial of the finished item and how it fastens together. To attach it into the helmet is really personal choice, nut and bolt like the visor, hot glue or velcro.

I'll can only make 10 copies available here because of my current busy workload I'm afraid. They will be shipped inside a small box and wrapped in bubble wrap for extra protection. The price for these copies are as follows.

UK - £21 (including shipping)
USA - $37 (including airmail shipping)
EU - € 27 Euros (including Airmail shipping)

DAZ

**cr4nky** · 08-09-2009, 08:21 AM

Still interested

**DisposablHero** · 08-09-2009, 11:22 AM

I'll pass I guess, not from the price but due to the smallness of the run. It's not at all critical to my costume atm so I'll bow out for someone more interested than I.

**yodakiller1138** · 08-12-2009, 06:23 AM

I thought I was on the list.

**C1RCA** · 08-12-2009, 08:16 PM
