Wow! Haters of the phase II helmet making your TVC clones look ridiculously out of scale to them (I am talking to YOU Justin!), check out what JTA reader Josh M. has done to "remedy" the problem! Who would have "thunk" it to "shrunk" it?



Paul,

I've got something interesting to share with you. One of my VC Shocktrooper helmets was deformed so I boiled and cooled it, and you're not going to believe this, but it SHRANK! I thought it was maybe just my eyes playing tricks, so I tried it on my 501st and it shrank too! No tricks were involved or anything-- I just boiled them and then put them in ice water. A little clarification-- boil the helmets for at least 5-10 minutes each, then have a small cup of ice water standing by and IMMEDIATELY drop them in after removing them from the boiling water. Leave them in the ice water for 5 minutes and then dry them off. Good to go! Now they fit pretty snug on the troopers' heads and look much better! I attached a pic below with the smaller ones on the left. It's very noticeable in person. I just thought you might find this interesting. Have a great new year!

Josh

Editor's Note: Josh is ALSO going to send in some comparison pictures of the helmets on the clone troopers for a better gauge on the new fit! AMAZING! UPDATE: Added! Wow!
