OK, I will be selling helmets very soon, I'm just finalising the best way to attach the cowl and the most effective padding for the inside then they're ready to go. Knees are sculpted and I will be moulding them in the next couple of days. I'm about to start sculpting the hand armour, this should be pretty quick as it will be done in wet clay which is a very fast way to work.
I will be updating my website very soon with comparison shots of my helmet against the ILM props.

I know the thread is called "snowtrooper HELMET" but I can't seem to change it to "Helmet and Armour" :facepalm
Not to worry, the knee sculpts are now complete, I'm really pleased with the way they turned out. These are now ready to mould. I will update my website with the build process very soon.

The knees look 110% on the money. Just went to your site and I love the way you built up the helmet sculpt. Very simple. The skateboard helmet you used is perfect too, I have been using a M1 Helmet Liner as a base for my Galactic Marine helmet and now I want to switch to the skaters helmet you are using :love

This skater/BMX helmet is excellent because it's made of a MATT plastic that can be sanded, cut and painted very easily.

I bought a skater helmet for my scratch build Boba helmet. Thanks for the inspiration! Your work is great, my friend.

When and how much?
I have 3 helmets cast and ready to ship:
- HELMET 1 = fully finished and weathered - pictures attached.
- HELMET 2 = Painted white and has the cowl and lenses cut and ready to fit.
- HELMET 3 = In grey primer, Lenses and Cowl cut.

Great work the weathered one could be the real prop,
Though one thing I did notice today when watching ESB (though Im sure you looked at heaps of reference mateiral so I may be wrong) the nose on the real ones seems to stick out quit far almst like the stormtroopers as if it was cut off at the teeth, and the cowl sort of hangs down from the point of the nose, if that makes sense,
How ever once again another great sculpt from you , knees look great , Imlooking forward to seeing you do the shoulders

Yes , I understand your point. But once the helmet is worn, the bottom of the cowl does touch your chest which lifts it to look like the ESB screen caps. I've also sourced a thicker vinyl now which holds it shape a lot better.
