Getting an Approved Imperial Guard Bucket

Post by JunKenPo »

I would like to buy an imperial guard bucket, but i'm worried about spending the money on one that would not be approved. I see many being sold and ranging in price. Would there be any suggestions on where I should my bucket from, or any trusted websites I could attain it from?

gmrhodes13 sells a fantastic helmet kit that I used (in the buy/sell forums). Was a bit more of an adventure then buying a pre-assembled helmet, as I had to build the helmet, fill the seams, and then get it painted. For my first project it was a good challenge, but I really like the way it turned out as it was custom-fit to my head and with a bit extra room to add in some electronics (sound amplifier, mic, and air circulation tubing). Also fits with my glasses, which is even better for me.

Aside form other vendors, I'm not sure.

Alot of it comes down to your location. Many folks make these in different countries which helps cut down with overseas price. What is your location and Price range. Going from that you can judge where to go.

And do you want a kit to be build by your own or a ready to wear helmet?

I have one of Q's as well and can attest it's a good first build project. Some people also use the Rubies ones, but some with larger heads seem to need to modify those a bit.

I didn't try the Rubies, but the DP I tested I couldn't even get over the top of my forehead.
