Flare,....Too much, Just right ?

[psberetta]

Hey all,

This is my first try at painting and installing a visor. This is a "DP 95" that I have had for a while and decided to make the whole costume. I was wondering what you other hunters thought about the flare on it.

Thanks,

I think it looks great. Just the right amount of flare in my opinion.

 

[biomechaniod56]

I agree. Looks just right.

 

[TBone]

Yep! Looks on the money to me.

 

[psberetta]

Thanks guys, I needed some opinions.....

 

[OrtharRrith]

Looks good. The flare on the big helmet looks good too!

Whats the flare..?

 

[Sarlacc Food]

how much the ears, or outsides of the helmet go out horizontally. Little flare = a rectangular shape helmet. More and more flare makes the helmet look more triangularish.

 

[darkskywalker]

ok thats what i though, just making sure

Flair is too old. Oh sorry, I was thinking Ric Flair. My bad. All ha ha aside, I love the way your 95 looks. I am hoping mine will turn out somewhat close to yours.

Spot on mate

The flare looks fantastic! Your paint job is awesome as well. I would love to see what you did on the back side of the helmet as well.

Looks good to me, and thats one NICE paintjob!

Thanks everyone for your opinons,..... I'll keep pressing on with the rest on the suit.

By '95 Don Post, do you mean the standard helmet, like the cheap one? If so, how exactly does one go about adding to the flare on that piece, which is inherently small looking due to it's rectangular-ish sides..?

And that helmet looks splendid, as well!

Yes, it was $60.00. While you are installing the visor, push up on the front two mandables (the bottom) and in. This will make the opening a bit narrower but,.... it looks better if you ask me.

 

[Gregory J Liebau]

Awesome, thanks!

Now I KNOW I'll only need to spend $60 or so!

[psberetta]

No problem

You do realize this thread is from 2005 right? The original poster hasnt been here since 2011 lol But it looks like an old 12" figure from 95 i think.
