The issue is: is the GH Master the same size as the screen-used? We finally have an admission by SithLord that it's not, and yet when the GH Master was used in past photo comparisons, it was used as a size baseline without revealing to us that it is indeed smaller than the screen-used. Thus, resizing photos of whatever mask was paired up with the GH Master as the GH Master was sized up to match a screenshot, it would make the mask look bigger. I'm not saying there is an ulterior motive. It's just bad choice.
What do you mean, finally? I stated that way back in the VP thread but you weren't there, were you.

Although I've not seen the DJ helmet up close, I know for sure the DJ is further up the lineage as it's reportedly from an ILM mold taken off the screen helmet, which I believe. This faceplate is larger than any fan helmet derived from the 20th Century faceplate (which is not surprising given it's an offshoot from ESB) and also nearly identical to the GH ANH master faceplate in terms of size.
You know, I try to be fair and reasonable and am willing to be nice, but you continue to make unfounded comments like that about what I said or didn't say.
I have yet to see you present any comparisons of your own of your own castings against the original. When you do, maybe I'll apply the same standards as you have been applying to me.
The fact of the matter is, if you make a comparison of any helmet next to the original, you have to scale it somehow to line it up.
Either you do that based on the helmet (dome) or the mask. There is sometimes a compromise because of angle or distance or the helmet itself but then to state that as simply being "a bad choice"? Just because I've scaled it doesn't mean it IS TO SCALE, is it. And I never state it as such. If the same mask like the VP has the same dome on it as the GH and I take photos of them, sure I can scale them and say they are the same size but that's also because I've measured them. So what you are trying to argue doesn't even have any relevance because I've measured these helmets and I've already stated their size relationships
a long time ago. I don't mind discussing accuracy or making comparisons better, but all you do is try to find some way of discrediting what I do or say without doing research yourself.
