Where did you get the Snow trooper commander from?
It is a DL helmet: Imperial Armor dot Net - HomeWhere did you get the Snow trooper commander from?
Thank you. It is a First Edition RS helmet. The number #44 got lost in mail, so the guys at RS sent me their own as replacement and a new different plaque.Awesome collection sergiu,
What kind of RS propmasters is that? The uber authentic khaki HDPE?
Looks like fett would be next on your list?
There can be a very long time to wait (1 year or even more) and communication might not be the best. But the finished products are simply fantastic.Thanks. I'd he still selling and do you know what his wait times average?
Cheers sergiu
RE: 1st edition RS props
What is the difference between 1st edition & the subsequent ?
What is the SA edition that you see in photos? Does Sa mean "screen accurate"?
I agree, RS props is the best.(or at the top of the tree at least)
I bought a khaki HDPE version done up in the chipper look. It looks a forgery of the current real things. Absolutely superb. Will post picks with my other lids in a few months when they are in a proper display home.
Again congrats an awesome collection & thanks for continuing to share photos & your knowledge.
Mike
Thanks. I wanted to get their first edition, since I'm not too fond of helmets weatered with paint chips, mimicking how the screen used helmets might look in present. I prefer mine to look like it was when screen used.No interest in fett?![]()
I will do just thatIt's a fantastic helmet, the best out there. Congrats! Show us some pics, and maybe even a comparison between Gino V2 and RS.
EFX have produced the best licensed Vader helmet to date although the Legend is not as untouched as they would have you believe.I was wondering which companies have produced the best vader and fett helmets?
It seems that eFX Vader Legend seems to have gotten rave reviews although the RPF states that the helmet is still too idealized. SDS has a Vader helmet and It seems RP Props did not make a vader despite their reputation for making quality armor and having Bill Muir, the original sculptor of Vader.
Same question about the Fett helmet. MR seems to have made a good helmet although eFX is trying to produce a better one with their Legend series. What do people think are the "best" Fett and Vader helmets. either prop accuracy or idealized?
The initials are usually put there as the name of the person that made them or offered the run.Thank you sskunky. Just to clarify though, what do the abbreviations SL and TD mean (assuming TM is Trooper Master) and what you meant by private casting? (arnt all the fan-mades private castings? Im not sure about the production system of fan-productions).
As far as Private castings go then you will only likely get the chance to buy one if you are known to the seller. By that I mean a trusted contributing member of a forum like the Propden, the RPF or here. It takes quite a few years for that to happen. These casting are well protected. It sounds silly but that's just the way it is. Unfortunately there are people out there that get hold of casting and copy them and sell them on the net just for their own gain.Oh ok. I saw a diagram of the lineage of all the vader helmets following the original props. There are so many, it is hard to determine which one is good, especially since I would like to purchase just one helmet.
very informative Andy.
yes, the prop den is the best place for Vader although it can be a bit slow there sometimes. Nice bunch and you'll find all the info you'll need on Vader .
Ouch ...That's may hard to read for some guys on the RPF...:whistling:
Prop den seems almost exclusively Vader to me and I think it's where to go for detailed vader info. The 501st Sith Lord Detachment forum also has some nice info but not in the same league as those Prop Den guys; those guys are freakishly dedicated.
:grin:
LOL,
I still love the RPF but for Vader the propden is your place..... Too many bashers and dramas on the ERPF for Vader threads.
Its that time of the year again and I'm looking at getting a Biker Scout helmet and/or a Snowtrooper helmet
I've contacted Lone Wolf and he says he might do a run next month so I might get one of those (we'll see)
As for the Snowtrooper helmet I was looking at this guys
bobamaker: Snowtrooper Helmets
Any one have any info on these as far as accuracy and quality?
thanks for that info.....that RS Props helmet looks huge, how accurate is that?As i have heard the bobamaker snowtrooper is one of the best set's you can get.
As alternative you may can look for a RS props Snowtrooper.
I have not seen one in person, but on this pic's here it looks realy good:

Have you heard anything back from MonCal yet? I bought his Snowtrooper helmet 3 months ago, and it was about a 10 week wait, not that bad. I ordered it along with some armour pieces though, so maybe if you order just the helmet it's faster.^^ yup its a good looking helmet, he was the first one I contacted because I liked it so much and I have eliminated RS Props off my list because I just dont like their helmet......Unfortunately getting a helmet from BobaMaker is not going to happen because he isnt doing any more runs until next Oct and I'm not going to wait that long.....
Very nice, Matt, i like the weathering on the Snowtrooper! I wanted to keep mine pristine, but now i'm not sure.Here are a few pics of my Bobamaker Snowtrooper, I couldn't say if it's perfect but it's more pleasing on the eye compared to the RSProps pics I've seen.
With my RSProps ESB Stormtrooper
