Here is my start on the ROTJ Reveal helmet. I began collecting for this 5 years ago. I started actually assembling yesterday. Now the exterior and interior is ready to paint once I do some minor sanding. :)

Sweet Dave. I'm sure it's going to be a beauty. That is one helluva project to do. Good luck. :thumbsup

Thanks man. I can't wait to finish this one off. It's such a fantastic kit from beginning to end. I'm only missing one little doodad and I'll have every single reveal part. I just hope I can do it justice.

Dave :)

Those photos really highlight how cool those parts are...they look great...did you cut the mask or did it come like that?

Killer progress.

This is the original kit offered by Wolfmorganfx. Onigiri still has the mould of this helmet. It comes in two pieces and the square vent holes come moulded in so it only has to be trimmed. Onigiri is in talks with a guy who wants to buy the moulds and offer this beastie. I don't think he has moulds of the detail greeblies however. You'd have to scour the reveal board for that stuff. Alot of it is tracking down and buying the original parts like the real neckbrace and some of the dental expanders etc... dental spring tubing..........list goes on and on. Like I said earlier, I've been tracking down the parts for 5 years.

Dave :)
