rubies oddity found!

Thanks for the pics! It does appear to be larger like you stated. I don't know if you know the shop owner....but if you do, is there a way to check his shipping invoice for the item # for the helmets. Maybe, by chance, there will be a part/sku # for the helmet that we can all use. Only if the shop owner doesn't mind though. It's just an idea....don't get into any trouble.

 
ok , i inquired and the helmets were billed as a quantity @ $$........no individual #'s for each helmet.........i know this is no help........8(
-i tried..........8)
 
You should try to do some shots straight on. At that perspective, it's hard to tell how much bigger it is, if at all (the one closer to the camera is *always* going to look bigger). Put them both on a shelf, and take the picture looking at the fronts, with both helmets the same distance from the camera.
 
out of town for a few days, will send more pics when i get home......8)

- and the helmet IS NOT for sale........thanks for the offers.....8)
 
you know I saw a helmet on ebay the other day, in the tv & movies collectibles and props section, that was a rubies, but looked like a DP shape,& with a better paint job. even with gold on the rangefinder! I haven't seen any production helmets like that myself...although someone who was selling it could have put in a bogus pic to sell it faster, I'm not sure though...
 
yea people get shady on ebay, thats why you have to ask ??? before bidding. i bid on a nice lookin helmet(in the pic anyway) then thought about it and asked the guy if it was the one in the pic. turns out it was a DP 97 and the pic was of the real thing! but the helmet i recieved wasnt that bad off, i just gotta get motivated to restart work on it again!
 
If you guys buy helmets on Eay, please ask the seller of which year is it made and if the pic is from the actual helmet being sold.

About the pics above...looks like the cheeks in the helmets are kinda warped, but still a good looking bucket and the size, which is strange, but better for you. Good hunting!

it can go the other way with e-bay.....i bid on a fett " mask".....the dude borrowed a pic of the soft warped helmet, mask...looked horrible....i was expecting that for my 22 bucks, and got a 95 post!!
 
Most of the Rubies Fett helmets I see on ebay have a DP deluxe pictured. I mentioned to one guy about that, and he sent me this huge response listing his credentials as a mask seller, and assured me it was the helmet in the picture. So....bid like crazy because they're only $60!!!
 
From this pic, it almost looks a bit bigger in comparison -

I really hope Rubies did answer our praise, by making us better/bigger buckets -
 
I wanted to point out that my last post up above was overflowing with sarcasm. but also, yes it does look bigger, but it's a forced perspective. Forced perspective can make you look as tall as the 4 inch Fett figures if you just hold it closer to the camera. That's why I suggested having a pic of the two helmets equal distance from the camera. If you shot a picture at that angle, with the rubies Jango helmet closer, and one of the movie sized helmets behind it, the Jango will look bigger too. A lot of photography is about perspective.
 
so then , let me get this straight......your saying i'm intentionally mis-leading people , due to the camera angle??.....i'm a lousy picture taker, so sue me......but i think you're calling me a liar, and i dont take to kindly to that......i'll be home in the morning, and will take and send more photos......and you'll see that it IS bigger....i've had it looked at by 2 local star wars "experts" , who can verify its size, and odd shape.....so if thats what your saying better be prepared to apologize...........

in public, which is where you have seen fit to slap me......
 
I don't think anybody here is calling you a liar, it's just the pics you took are alitte...ehhh...not so good

Maybe if you took a pic from the front with more light, we can make a better assumption -
 
and , as i said , i was , and am now , not a good picture taker............i will take more today as i am now home and will send them off to be posted here..........still trying to decide weather to modify this bucket or leave it alone...........
 
I never said you were a liar, jeeeeez some people on this board need to settle down. I was giving you tips on photography. Since you are a self-proclaimed bad photographer, I was helping out some. hey, excuse me for trying help you prove the size difference.
