I saw this steam knights helmets and they are too big. They didint fit to space marine body . It looks a litlle strange.

I wouldn`t be so sure Alek - IMO you should wait for the casts

the helmets look excellent, but if Alek is right, you may be missing a big group of customers...

I have no influence how the customers use the parts I provide - but I think a lot of people will disagree with Alek

I would like to be mistaken.

I like them a lot, that's why I think it would be a pity to lose any part of your potential target group.

I agree they look pretty. But IMHO they are too big.

Less requiring will be charmed, more requiring rather not. Differences are visible.

why? are casts smaller than sculpts?
I'm not arguing about the size, just curious about the technology.

@Mahon: I believe I won`t.
There`s several things to consider. First of all after reading Alek`s post I`ve compared them to regular SM helmet. They`re slightly bigger. I`ve attached them to SM body - IMO looked good.
And there`s the tricky part, that might be new to people that don`t know (or care

) much about mouldmaking and casting process - the moulds and casts shrink slightly. You can regulate this a bit by using different resins / silicones and different temperatures. So if I get an impression there`s something wrong with the scale I can regulate this before making production moulds

.
Still I`m not that convinced this heads will need any special correction - but thx to Alek for his comment. I`ll show the greens to several people and will ask them for their opinion.
