What is your preferred h1 mask origin

Ken working from the hero directly, to make the KHDW no question. Nothing comes closer to the hero, in my opinion.

According to Ken, as close as he ever came to working directly from the hero mask was a crude, hand-drawn diagram provided to him by Dick Warlock with some basic measurements. Ken informed me that the hero mask never left Warlock’s possession and he saw it in person after the KH/DW sculpture was completed. I have updated my research thread to reflect this.

As for the thread topic, I prefer the form and detail of Nik’s DP ‘98 Shatner descendants.

Well that contradictes so many things said in the past. Nevertheless, he sure did cature the nuance of the hero like no other mask. The masks that go for perfect 75 kirks, do not look at all like the hero in my opinion. Both Dick, who owned the hero, and the present owner, state that their favorite replicas are the KHDW. If you follow every line of the KH it matches up. People say all the time, that the KH looks ackward. The hero looked ackward! That is why it took on so many looks in the two movies.

I’m not even sure who started that rumor, but Dick and Ken did both confirm that it never left his possession. I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments Roger. The KHDW can pull off some amazing shots as H1 and H2, no doubt (for instance, your comparison mesh up I did). I think that’s why the KHDW such a strong contender, it was sculpted to look like the hero, not Kirks that we have photos of. Each and every production Kirk was different in its own way and that does not exclude the hero. Using other Kirk reference photos for detail and even placement can throw it off from the hero in a matter of seconds. The KHDW is a masterpiece.

True, I’m just going by what I heard. lol Not sure where this theory came from, but if you go to old threads regarding the Proto and the 75K, that is brought up constantly. Would love speak with old Don Post employees about this.

Right? Seems like it’s been around forever but never can find a start to it . Agreed!!

NAG, Castle 75K specifically. Everything else is second-tier in my eye.

I’m a sucker for old-mold NAG 75Ks for H1/H2…but the NightOwl SHAT makes the best Tramer I’ve ever owned.

Thanks Bud! That’s a JC/NAG 75K Castle.
