Advise on purchasing a dented helmet UK

[enemyoftheempir]

hi guys.. so been lurking on forums looking at all different ways to make, mould or build a ESB Boba Helmet.

Kinda realising that the only way I would ever be happy is if I had one pre-made (even pre-painted), obviously being UK based I'm limited on what's available and otherwise its a import job.

With some searching I have found rspropmasters which will provide me what I need, they also do a kit which is out of stock at the moment (but as I said painting isn't my expert field).

Has anyone purchased one of these or know of a equally/better UK supplier? My only concern in not making one to building one is the fit

Im not out to the idea of ordering from the USA, but I'd want it to be flawless as couldn't do with all the returns issues.

It's a good kit. Email them and ask for a timeframe.

And a good price if it comes assembled and painted.

I recently came across this from a google search.. has anyone experience with the seller and how accurate the parts are?

Bobamaker is a vetted vendor here. You would not be disappointed ordering from him.

I've not bought a BM helmet but I have purchased several other finished parts. Quality is good. I don't know the price of a completed helmet but I would anticipate a year long wait before having it in hand. His standard time frame on finished parts pretty much.

When I contacted RSprops earlier in the year re a kit, they said lead time was approx 6-8 weeks. So a complete I reckon probably a few months at least.

To be safe I wouldn't expect a helmet from any builder in les than 6 months except maybe Ryan (animefan).

My helm is RS and painted by Rob S I believe. Its a good helm and wait time was 4-6 weeks. It fits well
If you want more info lemme know.

I was also looking at the RS page and was disappointed to see the Fett out of stock.
Maybe if we both asked for it they may do a run of them...
