Helmet sculpt

The comps Id like to see are of the Malone Fett and the GMH, now that would be worth seeing

To all other makers Im sorry about the ear thing , it was wrong of me to tell any one I should have kept it to my self and a few select individuals) this is an open invitaion to feel free to add it to your pieces, in the future
As it is my ears will be the original to have this feture in them ,View attachment 60791 but if any other makers would like to add it to the next sculpt/retooling go for it(y)
after all we didnt design the original,, were all just copying an idea that we dont have rights to

What makes this ear different?

Maybe you mentioned it in a previous post and I missed it. I just like learning about all the diffferent helmets out there. Thanks!!

Its a small detail, most wouldnt be concerned with ,, (Ive been told aparently only 3 people will care) but if you are in to accuarcy its another fun fact, (myself and 2 others cant be wrong)
Look in to the center slot, see the screw ends, the real helmets has this detail , and there for it shows were the screws should be placed and if your into replica's little things like correct hard wear and nut placement are all part of it, also if your going to have pilotholes in your sculpt then you can have then in the right spot, just a small detail I know but in the on going persuit for accuracy it all adds up

I think he's referring to the bolts/screws(?) in the left ear's ditch:

Thanks for clearing that up guys!

That is a nice little detail! (make it 4 guys who appreciate the detail. lol!... even though I'm not out to make an exact replica)

I used to have a FP MR Premium helmet (since sold to partsguy17) that I mounted the ears on using screws. I didn't quite place them in the exact spots you did, but close!

James, in a forum of this type where people have nailed down dental files, borden connectors, rangefinder parts, interior parts etc etc, I would find it hard to believe only a few people would appreciate even small, new found discoveries. I think its awesome, and I applaud you for nailing down another new detail! Peace

I always thought they were marks from the milling tool, before the channel was machined, seems a lot of work to file the threads down to the exact correct length, but then again the ears were attached before painting...

By the way BGH, didn't mean to poo poo your find...:D

Thanks Jayve, (and all the otrhers who have sent pms support)
TF I could see that, the give away is there brass,, so unless the ears have a brass core I am pretty certin Im right,also ifyou study each helmet they dont all sit at the exact same hight, ESB is flush RTOJ isnt PP1 isnt PP2 is , pp3 sits like half a mil under,

CC, thats the beuty of it is it can be added so easily, though your right the total replica thing isnt every ones game,

Mabey Ive spent way to much time looking at pics and studding of the real helmet

Apparently there was something said about this in a negative way? Never be afraid to discuss something and never be afraid to post comparisons. If people have any problem with the GMH being compared to anything they can suck it. Some people I have seen in the past take offense at the stupidest things.

I know we talked about that detail in the ROTJ ears before but this is the first I have heard about it being visible on the other helmets. Can you show me the pictures where you see it?

At this very point I dont have time to grab them but I can asure you they are there,

Yeah i didnt intend to upset any one, I figured to compair my fan sculpt to the bench mark of Fett helmets wouldnt persieved as it was, How ever i guess I can see why some one could take it the wrong way, as for compairing it to an unultered MR paint master cast there is no harm in that No one can claim they own that, no one here any way,

And your right its actually sad that it comes to this , I do it coz I love making these, Ive poured way more money in to my helmets than ill ever get back , I dont do this as a way of making money, (I have a real job as a propmaker that is my income) , each time I finish a sculpt I start to notice other things I can change to get them more accurate, like the screws in the ears, these things come from studying the real screen used helmets, and first gen casts like the Bannazi helmet( you can see were the pilot holes are on it and a few other details ) and the KT plug, and as it is there is a couple of other tinny details Ive put in to my sculpt that are not on any other fan cast yet,

I make them for the love of it its not that hard to understand,

Honestly mate, if people are going to get upset by something like that and not actually take it as a compliment, it says alot more about them than you. Keep doing what you love, and the people you have sorted out before will always support you..

If you are comfortable with it, go ahead and post those comps back up, I want to see them. Dont listen to that rabble.

I have to disagree about those screws poking through in the ear slot. You would only be able to see into that slot clearly enough on the ESB and ROTJ helmets since reference of the others does not include images you can see into that slot. That Heilman ROTJ shot, its a compelling argument. But I think its a picture artifact there as you cant see anything like it in a much clearer picture like the attachment shows. I have ESB reference as well and I dont see anything but even machining.

Yup, there certainly are some people out there too full of thier own importance.. They are generally people I stay far away from. Bottom line is, you make a great product and have many supporters not only due to that, but also the way you conduct yourself in a really great manner. Thats who i, and I presume most, would rather surround ourselves with.. :)

Sorry man I'm not seeing it. I can see sort of round marks in your last ROTJ but that is the only picture like that I have seen. I have to say photo artifact.

Here are some better resolution shots and I dont see anything but the bottom of the slot. The ESB has either paint or dirt at the top and bottom of the slot but no psychical disruption.

I got to be honest I think you dont want to see them , but if its not to late feel free to use it,
all those pics I put up show it quite clearly click on them and blow up the image, then go look at a pic of the Banazi helmet see were the pilot holes are on that and work out were they would sit and there smack in the slot,
Any
