Accurate stormtrooper helmet for Vintage Stormtrooper - UPDATED 12/14
Dressel Rebel:
I was just perusing some of Sithfire30's work, and stumbled upon his stormtrooper helmet for 1:18
WOW!! He really hit a homerun with those.
Hasbro has never, in all of it's many chances gotten even close to this. They did great with the Gamorrean and Ackbar and others, but their stormtroopers all SUCK. Just look at the garbage we got compared to what Sithfire30 was able to accomplish.
You guys see the difference right? I feel like this is the most overlooked, under-discussed issue. The iconic stormtrooper helmet has always been a bust.
God as my witness I am going to sculpt and cast 100 of these and fit them onto all of my stormtroopers. The newer bodies have been good, just the helmets have been awful. It's going to take a while, it's going to be hard, but this has to happen.
Jesse James:
I think, for some, the Spacetrooper was nice enough... I think for many actually the inaccuracies in the stormtrooper sculpts have been overlooked because people look at them as smaller issues. It's like Boba Fett... People have picked his figures apart too.
Actually you can pick the Gammie guard apart too I think.
Not saying I disagree exactly though DR, just maybe it's less important to me so there's more important things IMO. I dig my Stormtrooper legions I guess. I even still have a massive Commtech Stormie army.
But I'm not opposed to an improvement either.
Mister Skeezler:
I'd certainly love an improvement, or even just a wider distribution of the corrected helmet Stormies from this year. However, I would really want a Stormie without a removable helmet. We could get a much cleaner sculpt out of a solid head, and I'm sick of the helmet falling off or twirling around every time I pick those guys up.

I was thinking of making my helmet out of a removable one, and completely resculpting the outside visible part of it.
I suppose I could do a solid sculpt and dremmel out the ones I want to be removable.
Maybe I'll try it both ways.
Itching to get started on this over the weekend.

This is my sculpting goal:
