Impressive. . . Most impressive!!!
Stunning work. I wish they came like that when they sold them lol
Saving this video as a reference for when I do mine. Going to order the rubies helmet soon
That video reminds me mine process when I was making my rubies darth Vader helmet more screen accurate ! Great job buddy impressive most impressive 👌
That's incredible
Great job, I will repaint the cheapest and smallest version of this helmet which is good enough for me, the same Im going to do with Hasbro ships that I'll try to turn in "film props" no spending so much. Congrats, excellent work
If I were to ship you my Rubies, how much would you charge? (Out of curiosity) cause what I just witnessed was and absolute masterpiece. Good job sir!
Thank you! Appreciate this, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to start this again :) It’s a lot of dust and black plastic chips haha. I’m sure you can do it by your self. If you have any questions (materials, technics, pictures and drawings, measurements etc) I’ll be more than happy to help.
@@angeltat2752 thanks man! I’ll be sure to ask for measurements
Hey your helmet is amazing and I’m planning to do the same thing to my helmet. I do have one question, what are the exact spray paints you use for the colors? I know you left a description, but I can’t really find it lol
Thanks Max. For the black you can use any automotive spray gloss paint. For the grey I used a BMW Mineral metallic Grey Spray Paint. For me personally this grey was the closest one to the reference pictures of the original ESB helmet. As you can see on description the high gloss finish is clear automotive varnish, sanded between layers.
@@angeltat2752 thank you so much my dude and keep up the incredible work👍🏻
I do have a question, I know the best paint to use is automotive black and flat black but what's the color code for the gun metal? I see a lot of folks using rattle cans, a link would be super helpful mate! :) Love what u did btw!
Thanks bud. Video description has been updated with the link. www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/car-spray-paints/halfords-bmw-mineral-grey-car-spray-paint-300ml-323502.html
@@angeltat2752 Thanks man ! ^_^

It's a BMW Mineral Grey metallic spray
Great job! The nose should be silver tho, looks like it was left black.
Thanks bud. In this video it’s unfinished yet
What kind of paint did you use for it looks soo good
Automotive spray paint and clear lacquer spray. Check the description for more details.
@@angeltat2752 thank you so much, I was trying to find the material used to thicker the helmet edges but not sure what it is.

Hi, I have a rubie supreme helmet and I was wondering how much do you charge to do this to re work it like in the video?
Hi. This was a hobby project and unfortunately I don’t have time to make another one. I can answer any questions if you decide to make it by yourself.
@@angeltat2752 well then I was wondering do you think you might want to sell it and Maybe in the near future. And if so how much?
Hey I want to do a project like this. Could u answer a few questions?
Of course you can ask
@@angeltat2752 how did ypu get the nose ridge to the right shape?
How did you know how far to move back the eye ridge?
What putty or materials in general did u use?
Also how did u fix the dome mount?
@@TisDansk I made all proportions based on reference photos. I found very high resolution pictures of a helmet used in the movie. The photos are from the auction company that sold it and the helmet is visible from all sides. I imported the photos into Corel Draw, sized them according to Rubies reference points, so I could have any size of the original helmet. I am a professional artist and studied sculpture which helped me build it. All materials used in the project are described in the video description. I hope I helped. I'll try to find the link to the pictures and if it still exists I'll put it in the video description.
The most difficult thing was to correctly orient the dome in relation to the face mask. In this video, the helmet is not yet finished and is not properly oriented. I made screenshots from the movie where the helmet is visible right on the left and right sides. So I saw the distance between the dome and the mask, as well as the slopes of the dome in relation to the cheeks and the nose of the face mask.
I will upload a video of the completed helmet soon. I met Brian Muir (the original Vader sculptor) in person a week ago and he saw the helmet. There was only one small remark about the shape of the dome in the central frontal part. He said it was a little rounder than it should be in the Empire Strikes Back helmet.
