Got my bucket...

Unfortunately, the left ear is pretty misshapen. Is this fixable? I feel if I am even able to straighten it out, it still looks overly narrow.

Yowch, yeah that ear and the band behind it... Wowoweewa

Ebay helmet?

 

[Level3Fett]

Man, not liking the looks of that...Can you return it?

 

[Demmoc]

You could mask it a bit with a little bondo and a lot of patients, but if you can get another one, I would!

Looks like a Tommyboy69 helmet...

 

[fettfw3]

depending on what it's made of you might be able to heat it with a hairdryer/heatgun and be able to push it back to shape.

It's definitely too narrow, although the photo is so close I can't get a good perspective. The vertical part of the band behind it looks really wide.

It was an ebay purchase from a tdh member that I had read only positive reviews from. Unfortunately, it appears those were misleading/misinformed. I have requested a return and will be purchasing a new helmet from one of the more reputable craftsman here on tdh. Being a new member makes it difficult...guess I'll have to wait another 70 days...

Side note: the limited edition wool cape I purchased from MOW is a beautiful piece!

There's nothing to stop you sending a private message before the 70 days are up.

The helmet is not good in my opinion. Ebay or not there's no excuse for sending out something like that; there's obviously something wrong with it.

 

[fettfw3]

who is this ebayer selling these bad castings ?

 

[Fett 4 Real]

Definitely send that back...and what they said....who was this seller...

 

[the_man_with_the_ee3]

Afettfullofdollars was correct.

 

[intwenothor]

We don't have a Tommyboy69.

 

[Fett 4 Real]

We don't have a Tommyboy69.

Think he goes without the 69 on here??

 

[intwenothor]

Think he goes without the 69 on here??

Yeah thanks, I just tied it all up. The only fly in the ointment is that this looks like the for sale pictures so it's not substantially different. It just looks like a really bad recast. I'm not sure what of. Shame. Hope it works out for you.

Edit:

MR recast.
