Hey, I can barely justify the cost of making my own suit, much less buying it from someone else. I think a lot of people are like that, but I think it's a really cool helm. I am just not in the position to buy it :/. But there is a market for anything. And your helmet is *clean* dude.

 

[DreadMullet]

i would say go ahead and mold it... dont plan on selling a bunch, because alot of people are probably going to just buy from dave... because he is dave.



but it would be a good thing to have some casts that you can throw around and trade with folks... that and its nice for people to have options, we have alot of nice cqb's that have been molded, alot of nice Mrk6, and alot of other stuff... so yours can just be added to the list... some may like yours more, and buy... some may not.



but remember you are only doing a small run, and you are only making back what you put in +your time.

id say mold it

I think you should mold it if that is truely something you want to do for yourself. Sometimes I mold something that never sells and other sell a large amount. There a few Recons out but don't let that discourage you.

It isn't always about the initial selling... as, of course, the 405th isn't a market place... but the experience. Mold it, cast it, play with it... if you can make some funds to get the next project running, bonus.



The helm looks great.

[NuggetWarmer]

Try not to triple post. Use the edit button instead.



I'd get one if I had the cash.



Could you PM me the price on one?

 

[ShinigamiNG]

Very nice looking helm! I would definitely mold that baby!



Oh, and in the case that I might buy one of those pulls from you, would you happen to have any measurements on the helm? Like, an estimate on head circumference? All that good stuff so I know it will fit on my head lol.



I don't have a huge head or anything, but with me being 6'4" I tend to have to use larger pieces than most members who seem to be in the 5'10-11" range.

[Macattack64]

I think a better question would be... Would you buy one if he made a run?

 

[mattg]

Hey Griffin, I think they want to avoid having people post prices publicly on the 405 forums, so you might want to edit your post and just PM the guys who are interested. That being said.

 

[mattg]

ok, ty i did as said.
