New Jango Helmet!

By your logic then, nothing can be compared because none of the comparisons are perfect. I'm going to disagree with you that the DP-95 is wrong. Since no two pictures can be compared, then I'm going to have to say the DP-95 is just as great as Marrow_Sun's helmet.

Sorry, man. The cheeks are different. As well as a number of things.
 
Looking at the side by side comparison of Brak's pics, I do see differences in the helmets. If the pics are overlayed then you can see that the details are not as great as one might expect. I'm going to throw something else out there to consider; PAINTING could play some part in the cheek difference as well. I know from experience that you can change a detail a bit by not following the lines exactly. I did this to correct some inconsistancies when painting my old helmet & jet pack.

I am not trying to defend my work, you either like it or don't. I KNOW it is not perfect but at least I will now have a clean helmet with sharp lines & no filler & I am happy with the end result.

But do you agree that Mirax looks awesome in Dizzy's pants? Can we agree on one thing? Mirax looks like she is goin' on a bug hunt!

Anyways, I'm done. BKBT, your helmet is awesome. I was just a little disappointed that the cheek difference wasn't addressed because nobody so far has made that adjustment. I thought maybe I could give some feedback but I didn't realize it would turn into this. You did a good job though, and it still is mighty nice looking.
 
Foxbat, I meant no harm, you and I were just presenting our individual points of view...and it is never done, because Marrow Sun just came out with a new bucket and you and I need to go over to his string and debate his interpretation of the precious bucket that we care so much about. At least we do not have to discuss such mundane topics as politics, or the degredation of the morals of people in general...all I know is I am a bucket head, and if I had enough cash I would buy a MS-1, this BKBT, the new MS-2 and your DP95, or Mystery helmet or whatever you wear on your suit!

Stay cool, and I will see you on the MS2 string.

Yup, I agree too Vince. I did this on my latest bucket too to try and make it more Jango accurate.
 
Well I went back & reworked a couple of small details. I closed in the mandibles a little more & corrected the right ear cap so the rangefinder post would stand vertical. I'm sure I could go on forever with this but if I am ever going to have this ready for C3 I'll have to stop. My silicone is ready to go so hopefully by the end of the week I'll be almost done the mold.
 
Please add me to the list. :love

this will be a nice upgrade on my suit. I'm very happy with what I have now, but I just would like somthing lighter. mine has alot of bondo and extra stuff.
 
Wow are you guys actually arguing about this whole thing? Well whatever its over, that was weird... I am very impressed with the craftmanship and prefectional efforts put into this helmet, and would hope to atleast see one someday.

Hey SEEKER, are you going to put the Arena dent into yours again?

hhhmmm - it depends what it's made from. But then again why would I? I'll have two Jango helmets. :D one with dent, one with out. 8)
 
Glad to!
