gino Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I just registered and thought what better first new topic than to show off my trooper helmets. There just isn't anything more film accurate out there besides original helmets themselves. sigh. ANH STUNT TROOPER HELMET Here are the features that the originals had that I've incorporated into my STUNT version: I tried to match as closely as possible TE 2nd original helmet (Dave M helmet). - Painted finish. - Correct thickness. (It's very thin.) - Faceplate taken from TE 1st original helmet (Brian R helmet). - Cap/back taken from TE 1st original helmet, bumps/texture included. - Earcaps taken from TE 2nd original helmet (the one that was identified on screen!) . Correct shape and size. - Accurate brow trim. - Accurate neck trim. - Cast from original hovi-mix mic tips accurately assembeled and detailed. - ALL hand painted details. NO DECALS anywhere. - Green lens material attached at the earcap screws. - Correctly shaped yellow foam head insert. - Accurate chin straps. ANH HERO TROOPER HELMET Here are the features that the originals had that I've incorporated into my HERO version: I tried to match as closely as possible the promo hero trooper. The one used for the cardboard standee and found in the Chronicles. This trooper was also extensively used in the film. - Accurate color and gloss level plastic. Unpainted. - Correct thickness. (It's very thin.) - Faceplate taken from TE 1st original helmet, slightly altered to be ANH hero accurate. - Cap/back taken from TE 1st original helmet, bumps/texture removed and details sharpened to hero specs. - ANH hero accurate earcaps derived from TE 2nd original helmet (the one that was identified on screen!) . Correct shape and size as well as 3 humps on the grey block instead of 4. (I'm pretty sure I made that discovery). {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif - Accurate brow trim. - Accurate neck trim. - Cast from original hovi-mix mic tips accurately assembeled and detailed. - ALL hand painted details. NO DECALS anywhere. - Green bubble lenses - Correctly shaped yellow foam head insert. - Accurate chin straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks guys. I've received questions about who made them. I made them. No one else has molds that can produce helmets like these. They are unmodified and unaltered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sweet looking helmets - welcome to the MEPD boards. I look forward to seeing more of your work, especially as no one in my garrison has one so I've never seen one in person. Hopefully that will be rectified in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Much Garlic Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Absolutely impressive pieces. Think I have seen the pictures before, but am unsure whether I commented on them... can't imagine giving anything less than a huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksandtrooper72 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 With the pictures one smoothly the breath stops.But a so good work will cost money to logical way a good lump.There are as many good helmets loses I simply the overview there. Who now actually manufactures the best helmet?(expensively does not have to be good)Very beautifully which is you here.
