Tiderion Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I had ordered a full kit from armory prop shops but of course with the world events going on, I have no idea when or even if that will ever be fulfilled. I then ran across this site: https://cyber-craft.shop/products/death-trooper-star-wars-helmet The helmet looks pretty good. Does anyone see any issues with its accuracy? Or does anyone have any experience with this particular vendor? Link to comment
Tiderion Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Reviews seem solid on their website. The only red flag to me thus far is that the ranger finder is permanently attached. I don't know if that's a no-no for 501st approval (I am going for a specialist build) Link to comment
Lt. Dan[501st] Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 At first glance it looks good, BUT the first thing which is obvious when reviewing the CRL are the slotted vents on the side panels. There must be 8, but this one only has seven. Also, you couldn't strive level 2 with this one because of the nose bridge ribs. These have to be 6, 8 and 9. AND, this shop is also located in Russia? 3 2 Link to comment

See, this is why I come here for this sort of thing. Well spotted, Dan. Thank you. 1 Link to comment

I don't know if that's a no-no for 501st approval (I am going for a specialist build) The Neuro-Saav Macromotion (NSM) Monitor is optional, so whether you are going for the Version 1 or Version 2, if it is permanently attached it will not be an issue for Level 1 approval. I really like Denis' kit, ASP does a great job on their unfinished and finished kits. Its unfortunate they have been affected by current events. If you run into issues with ASP and fulfilling your order, there is a PAD (Plastic Arms Dealer) kit for sale by one of our Troopers. It has some preliminary work done on it. Andrew uses Tom's files and he was the first DT so the kits from PAD are top notch as well. Best of luck with your quest for a kit. 2 Link to comment

What do you mean by the nose bridge ribs (6, 8, 9)? I'm not sure what specifically that is on the helmet Edit: Nevermind, it clicked for me ? 1 1 Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Lt Dan glad you spotted that its Russian in origin. We may not be seeing anything come out of there for a long, long, LONG time. 1 1 Link to comment
TookBreaker[TX] Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Looks like this shop has moved to England if I am not mistaken (independent of the helmet not being CRL compliant). Link to comment
