Mando pilot concept
« on: Feb 18, 2019, 04:58 AM »
Hey folks,

I'm slowly working on a pilot kit but I was just wondering if anyone had tried combining a typical modern faceplate with a Resistance helmet? Kinda like the one below...



This is just a really rough mashup I put together because I can't sleep and still very much a concept. Thoughts?

This is a pretty good looking helmet. I will let App team folks weigh in on this, but it should be good to go in my eyes.

Could we see some more angles?

Here's a couple more. I'd likely need to get someone who's good at 3d modeling to make this something that could be 3d printed and make it all look much more seamless than in these concept shots. I didn't do one from the back as I still don't know if I want to leave it looking more like the resistance helmets or like a typical mando bucket. Sorry for the washed out screenshots. Hope the idea still comes through.

Is that a Mando face attached to an xwing helmet rear? Or is it a pre Vizsla helmet you’ve modified?

#1. Again, still a very rough concept. I was thinking my pilot kit might be from the new trilogy era, and being inspired by the other x-wing pilot helmet, I had a "what if" moment and put the two together. It still needs a lot of work but I thought  I'd run the idea by you fine folks juat to see if it was worth pursuing.

I would work on making it more Mando than xwing. It’s a fair start.

Duly noted. Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep working on it and post up any new progress.

I've decided to go a different route. Going to use a McQuarrie Concept #2 bucket, modded to remove the RF stalk and maybe widen the eye slit a bit. On top of that, I'll put the visor. Decided on that bucket as so much of the new trilogy stuff is heavily based on his works. And it's a super cool lid.  :8):

That said, this thread can be closed, or whatever.  :like:

Once you mod it, it's no longer approvable for modern. All you can do is change the paint.  I think the RF is optional, but the rest would be a no.  It turns back into a crusader era helmet at that point.

Just so we're clear, I'm talking about this helmet...


So, modifying the eye slot isn't allowed with this one?

Wrong helmet -- disregard.  Was thinking of the other Mcquarrie Concept bucket.

Cool. I was thinking that you were thinking about that other bucket. Cool as it is... yeah.

Anyhoo, that's the end of this thread, folks!  :like:
