Yeah If I could I would bring my broken knee capped behind with ya and wave a crutch up in the air.........but I'm much more comfortable here on the couch. I teach High School as well and since I had my knee surgery on the 14th, I am taking an extra week off to start the break early. Nothing to do now but wait some more.

So I lied and posted a picture sooner than Monday. There are still several helmets at the foundry. They had a few cracks and need to be welded up. This is actually working to my advantage because they are grinding down and dong some finishing for me already which is good! If you notice the custom helmet has a shiny spot which is what a welded crack and finishing looks like. So yes - all helmets are cast. The ones with problems will be picked up after the 1st. I should have these first 6 finished up within the next 2 weeks.
Another mistake they made was they cast several of the ear caps in bronze. I actually like it because it reflects the ESB gold caps! But most of the helmets will have an aluminum cap unless you request the bronze.

*** MY HELMET HAS A CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does this mean i get a discount because it's a factory second?
Seriously, will the rest of the helmet be that shiny when you are finished with them? or will you leave the polishing up to us? Fantastic news on the pics anyway HS< loving it so far!
I'd like to steer clear of the bronze ear caps, as i need mine to be able to have magnetic parts stuck to them.

i very distinctly want the non-bronze, since i'm doing rotj with it
AWESOME to see them all together like that! I'm twitching like a little kid in a candy store.
Actually, I just got back from a candy store. So I am twitching.

Really - the cracks are not a bad thing - they just need more attention which in the long run means I will be more picky about details I may not have been with before.
VP - your earcap is already part of the helmet so no worries there. BTY aluminum is not very magnetic.
The helmets will be finished to a brushed wire wheel state - not high polished but shiny. The goal is to supply you guys with a cleaned up surface that can be painted or reworked to your choosing. Some additional clean up may be necessary but I realize you all don't have equipment so I will get it to a nice as a state as I am able to.

Oh man I can hardly stand it....If possible an uncracked Boba with bronze earcaps would be stellar but will take whichever one comes my way. Oh man, Oh man, Oh man. Doing the Boba bounce as I can't really jump around the room on crutches. Ah!!! Please let us know what we need to do to EVEN-UP and get these pups in transit......of course when you are comfortable with the state they are in.

Sorry - All the helmets are either deposited or paid in full already.
