Here we go: ROTJ Royal Guard build...

[VintageGmr]

Ok...

So here we go...

After many years i have decided to Re-build my Royal Guard costume since my last one got ruined.
So the first order of buissness i want to get cleared away, is the helmet.

I am afraid to get burned, and i really want to know from where or who it is safe to buy a 501'st approvable
helm.

I have read alot of post's of people buying a helmet of ebay and the quality is horrible. The helmet i used to have was an old Don Post helmet, bought in 1999 - 2000 ish. (cant remember exactly) And i want the same quality as that one.

Anyone know where i should start ?

Having done a lot of research on this recently I would say TPE is a safe bet. Couldn't afford it myself, but there are others around though that are quite acceptable. Just depends on how much you want to spend and what you expect for the money. The Don Post is a much smaller helmet than what's around these days too.

I have a TPE helmet, and they're awesome (pretty expensive though)

You'll need to contact via email. The address is on his page. I think the Helmets are around $450 from memory.

Since the build wont start untill the fall, and it is my birthday in september. I think the TPE helmet is what i am going for.

I'm a big fan of the TPE helmet Very helpful guy, decent waiting time, great after support if needed as well.

It's a good size and very light, just the cost deters some lol!

I have sendt TPE a mail and got a reply today that he no longer makes these helmets.

I have done some reserch and found a "Kamino Custom" on facebook.
The price is not bad and judging by pic's it looks ok.

Anyone know how these helmets are ? And if this vendor is legit.

He is a friend of mine. the Vendor is legit und you can contact him via pm on FB or here. Since he has an account here too.
I bought a helmet from him too.
