how accurate is the redman studios BOBF helmet ?

My helmet arrived. While it does have some simples it's an over all sharp cast with excellent accessories.

Any info of status where Redman is on his orders? I am still waiting on mine, including the gauntlet kit since December.

I sent an email to Redman back on October 28th. The automatic reply said he would reply within a week.
Does anyone know what is happening on his side?

Just an update: I received Redman's helmet last month. It is pretty accurate and the pieces for the helmet are top-notch and clean casted. The only thing I wish he could've included with the kit is a visor template to cut the visor to the proper shape/size. I have the STL files of the same helmet and the same artist (Great Ape Studio), so it was a no-brainer.

Nice, glad to hear it arrived and it is a good looking piece. Got any pics to share?

Regarding the visor, so it wasn’t included nor a template involved? I really like Boba Makers simplistic design he does for his helmets. I’ll share some pics of it here shortly. But as to the size/shape of the Redman Visor. If it was me, I’d trim a section out of a piece of flexible card stock and trim till I got it where I wanted it. Then transfer that to one of those Hobart Welders Visors you see on Amazon.

He included the visor (probably the same full visor face shield you've mentioned, dark grey), along with the aluminum stalk and accessories from JJ Industries, which is a plus, but the visor needs to be cut, but there is not a template included to cut it as it is one of the files that Great Ape includes with his 3D STL files. I printed mine scaled down to half the thickness, that way I could flex to be able to trace and cut the visor or like you said, trace it on a piece of poster board/paper.

I will post pictures sometime during the weekend, the helmet is in my storage shed now and it's been raining down here in the south (Alabama).

Sorry for the late reply, I've been really busy. Here are the pictures of Redman's helmet kit.
Some pinhole spots need to be filled, and some areas that the resin was not covered enough, creating empty bubble spaces or very thin walls, mostly at the bottom edge. The ear pieces and the RF topper were printed via FDM while the backing mesh of the "coin slots" and the "dental files" were resin printed, including the clear part of the RF topper.

Do anyone has a comparison with the RBP helmet?

BTW, that RedMan helmet should not be sold even as a B grade cast.
