And if you had not assumed that everyone is as dense as yourself, you might have said hello and welcome to the boards. Then you might have asked if I had tried to send a message. I would have said thanks, and let you know that I had already done that with no reply, and therefore posted to this old thread to see if others might be so kind with some info and direction with this bucket.
Thank you for your quick assumption and sarcasm. Do overs are welcome. Thanks to those with a helpful soul.

Ouch.
I hate to see this.
Just today alone, i directed 6 individuals to TheDentedHelmet.com.
I told them it's the ultimate resource for all things Boba, and one
of the friendliest communities in existence.
Lets try to show a little more hospitality folks. It's stuff like this
that's taking us farther and farther away from our roots. This
is NOT how we want to be. It's a sure fire way to get the doors closed
here from lack of interest with rude welcomes. Remember, what
keeps this place in existence, are stats and numbers.
Boba86Solo - My apologies. In answer to your question, Brian has been
away from these boards for years. He no longer makes these items
because as I recall, he doesn't work for a foundry anymore. If you want
to get in contact with him, I believe there are a few individuals here
in the administration that know how to contact him. Perhaps Art Andrews.
That is also his board name. I hope this helps.
And Welcome to TDH :cheers

I think you are with a wrong impression about the tonality I used in my post. I think it were Ok if you just posted in your first post the same thing that is in my quote instead of complaining.
And by the way, Welcome to TDH!

Chris,
Thank you very much for the welcome. I have been on other boards before and when someone new shows up it is easy to criticize their lack of operational knowledge. I don't fault anyone as it's an easy path. That is why I offered the do-over. Sometimes we don't realized what we are doing till it's done. Thank you very much for the information. I'm in the market for an aluminum cast Fett, and if anyone has guidance that is great. Glad to be here as I've been a Boba fan since I first got my non-rocket firing one in the mail.

U may want to rethink the aluminum helmet idea as well its not very wearable...not really sure what u want it for but think about that before u jump into something research and read everything here you can

Boba86Solo....Being that I troop in north Texas where you, are let me say.....You probably do not want an aluminum helmet.
If you want the appearance of metal look at the Asok/FP Cold Cast Boba Helmet. It is an excellent helmet from exceptional makers, and you will survive trooping in it. Cold Cast looks like metal once it is sanded and polished. I did the Plano Independence day parade in an Asok Jango and while it was hot it was manageable.
Welcome to TDH. I may actually meet you in person someday at a troop.
P.S. also remeber some of the guys posting here speak other languages and the wording sometimes comes across wrong to us Texans.

Hey, you guys have great advice. Thanks for letting me know about the trooping drawbacks. I have been reading alot here before posting. Currently I have one already for trooping when needed. The aluminum is more for my game room. I'm wanting to make it a nice custom display piece out of the aluminum cast.
Are many people making these anymore, or is it due to the trooping drawbacks that no one sees a market for these?

I dont think he made many...also its based on a Don Post so its not very accurate

Don Post?!?! Really? I guess that was all he had at the time. Ok, maybe I will not be looking for one of those. I saw an aluminum cast at CV and it was done nicely. I wish I had gotten more info from the guy. Who knows... It was so freakin hot, maybe I was not thinking straight.

The HS cast aluminum helmets look good all finished up. Not the most accurate by todays standards, but not terrible by any stretch.
Here are the pics of mine (I no longer have it -- too heavy to wear)
Stormtrooperguy.com - HS Aluminum Helmet
I don't think it's Don Post based. It's WAY too big for that! I'm 5' 9"... a Mystery Helmet type bucket fits me really well. Here's my HS:
