(this might end up as a double post, if it does I'm sorry. Something weird is goin on...)

Greetings vode. I've been reading over this thread and several others, and I just can't place my finger on the proper scale I should go for. This is a picture of me in my very early stages WIP, with my Don Post 96 helmet. I think it is just slightly too large for my body.





I'll be buying a new one, would I fit best with a Jango 2-piece sized helmet, or sticking with a DP sized helmet? I think a 1:1 would be much too large for my frame. I'm 5'8", 150 lbs.

Well  I've got myself  an  Fettpride  Helmet 

Well  it might be a unnessesary  amount  of Money  spent  for  a custom-Mandalorian   because  teh FP  is  aimed to the Boba-People out there...  but it is actualy  a good helmet.    There might be lesser space for individualisation  but... bleh. 

Its realy quick to assamble and dont need  any big  workarounds,,,

I guess i got the only one if its kind  without a Dent.

kodiak: the helmet looks perfect. any smaller could be too small any larger could look silly.

jaro: fp helmet's are wonderful creatures aren't they? looks like you bought the deluxe too ot the bidget version. as far as straight out of the box ready to roll lookig perfect, i don't think there's a helmet that can compare. i love that he finishes the interiors as wll!

[Mafio]

finished interiors?     what bucket do you have?    


you mean the back  with  the  chipplates?



got a premium btw

[Hondo Karr]

by finished, i mean how the interior is smooth as glass. not a rough interior like most helmets.

[Kodiak]

Thanks again for helping me judge the bucket proportion. Now I'm looking into a DSB-merc medium sized helmet, if my research is right that's approximately DP96 sized.

[Hondo Karr]

yup, that's about right. either that helmet or asok's cold cast jango would be about the same size and cost. both would be great helmet's for you if you wanted to switch from vinyl to resin helmet.

[Mafio]

Ah jeah, now I know what you mean...     Well  the inner is a bit structural... but  you wont cut yourself

The Rubies 1 piece boba is not accepted. 

About this. What does a rubies Boba look like exactly? I have a Boba helmet, but I've had it for a few years so I don't really know anything about it and I was just wondering if the rubies is what I had or not...

[Dar'manda]

That's a rubies Boba Fett 1 piece

[Ne'tra Tal]

Hnn they do kinda look alike. I'm guessing this is one meaning I'm gonna have to find a new helmet/way to make one!

[Dar'manda]

Yeah, that's the banned helmet. Honestly, it's way over priced, low quality, etc... It's just the best move for the Club to not allow it.

I would suggest take some pics of it on you... Post them up here or in a thread so we can help find you what you'll likely need (if you have armor and soft goods, so much the better, throw those on). If that 1 piece BF works, then a rubies two piece jango should, and they're only $40... They take some work to get into nice shape, but it can be done!

Man    this looks  either bad  or shebs      but never those two combined.

I'll go ahead and post a thread with pictures of me wearing it and see what kind of response I get ^^

I'm not quite in the market to start my armor yet (just moved into my first house and there are a LOT of unexpected expenses popping up), but I'd like to get a heads up for what size helmet to get. I'm a skinny guy, 6 foot tall and 150 lbs. I was going to try to scratchbuild, but I've never tried anything like that before, and I'd rather not get a crappy looking bucket. I figure I'd rather buy an MDSB right away and not waste the money on scratchbuild materials . However, I'm afraid that an M-DSB would look huge on my small frame, but due to my height a Rubies 2 peice Jango might be to short? Anybody have experience with a similar frame? Thanks!

[Hondo Karr]

How old are you? If youre young, a larger helmet can be grown into. I see youre in PA. Maybe try hooking up with the PA Mercs to try on helmets.

Keep in mind as well, Jeremy Bulloch, the original Mandalorian, wore a 1:1 helmet. He was 6'02" and about 165 at the time of ESB. His look is the standard for fit.

I would guess an MDSB would be alright but, when it doubt, try it out!

[Dar'manda]

Yeah, M-DSB has several sizes, and can cover most builds, so you're good there... But try some on first to get an idea, just in case. Nothings set in stone or such for getting the right sizes.. My first helmet and set of armor, mathematically, should have fit and been sized right, but they weren't. So always try it on yourself!

[Beviin Atin Eparavu]

If youre ever swinging through McKean county I'll let ye try on my assassin

[ChapterEleven]

I didn't realize the M-DSB's came in sizes. I'll have to look into it once some more funds come in. (and I'm 25 by the way, haven't grown any in 9 or so years, so this'll be my max height)

[Dar'manda]

Yup, most M-DSB products come in 2 sizes, with the Merc (standard Fett that can have a boba dent added) having small, medium/large, and XL. The assassin has a 'small' and an XL as well.

I think a medium size bucket is your best bet with what i've heard

[ChapterEleven]

Excellent, thanks for all the help guys!

[Dar'manda]

Hey, I went through almost 3 helmets (only have 1) and kept only 1 when all was said and done. So I'd HATE to see someone have the same buy, re-sell because it didn't fit, etc..

[Seeker]

It's hard to find a good fitting helmet.

[Zahr Lestin]

What type and what size helmet should I get? I don't think I have a big head but I just would like to know where and what type I should get. Also I am operating with a budget so I can't spend much. Thanks vode!

[Beviin Atin Eparavu]

Cheapest option for the average head is the ubiquitous 2-piece jango.
