Yes me. Never though I would one day pay so much for a toilet syphon, but after getting scammed paying 30 euros for one and never receiving it....... Got tired of looking everywhere on the internet, all the Uk supplier seems to be out.

Yes please post the pics , the link was already dead when I found the thread o the RPF.

Looks like a Meatstock;(given the soft details)
Whoever tried to make this thing look like an ESB helmet did a very poor job at it.
Sorry buddy, u might want to give it a new paintjob....

Looks like the one on the left(looking at the pic) has a hero helmet and the other one the Tantive monkey arms lol.

Too cool.

Hiya Keith,
So when are you going to show us your low brow ESB???
-
I think HDPE stormy has one of Ginos' suit's. Maybe he can show us some pics?
Your wish is my command, lol, well not really as I only have a couple of OLD Progress pics;when I was working on my ESB trooper display, trimming, assembling and modifying.
I can take more pics this week if anybody is interested.
(Helmet and handguards are not Gino's.)
I also have a Hero V2 helmet and from my collector point of view there is really an evolution in Gino's stuff , the stunt V1 that I received (like two or three years ago) was already super sharp and extremely well put together but the neck trim was wrong, it had no straps nor star shapped foam, bumps had been removed etc etc...
For those saying that there is no difference between a Gino' V1 suit and GF or AP then I must say that I couldn't disagree more, I'm not Gino's spokes person but it's like comparing an Aston Martin and a Porsche IMHO, I'll let you guess which one I like the most.

I know of a least four Gino suits.I own one,Brak's old suit,a move along suit, and a kit he sold on ebay not to long ago.Maybe Gino can let us know how many are out there?Gino is hard to get (as far as i know).
So maby: Te, ap and tm.
only two GINO suits were ever made publicly available!
TE2 or TM for me!
I'd say more like six or seven, as I also own a full Gino set myself, .http://www.yourprops.com/norm-445a36c7623d...A+New+Hope.jpeg
it was a sandtrooper kit when I received but I converted the armour to ESB specs(not the helmet) with parts from our own TM and another armour.
I'll have new pics soon as well as pics of all my helmets, bought two more since that last pic was taken. Do we really need all these things
Happy new year to all.

and than you need the money for scope and hengstler box
on my blaster are both real.
but the the blaster is very heavy so you don`t
carry it on your belt
That's a nice blaster you have there mate.
Cheers.

It helps when someone takes some good photos of the orgiinal helmets
Keith.
It sure does Keith!
You took some great pics of those sandtrooper helmet's and they are very much appreciated I can tell you Top man for sharing them
-Paul.
I agree, loads of awesome pics were taken by Jez, Keith and Jeremy/Gonk.
I think we all know what we owe them, I least I do.
It always amazes me how crappy painted the original sandtrooper helmets really were.
I think people really shouldn't worry too much when painting their own replicas.
Cheers.

Paul, I think you just won the award for coolest dad on earth.
Well done mate.

I think HDPE Stormy hit the nail on the head with his theory stated on the RPF,that being the suit could have been made specifically as a stunt suit.With the ab detail formed as part of the armour so it doesn't fall off,edging on all main body sections to help stop cutting into your skin,and even the overlaps on the arms and legs so the strips don't fall off.This all leads to a simpler suit that's more comfortable for the stunt men and easier to assemble.
Makes sense to me
Thanks Paul, glad you like my theory.

Though, I can't think of a single scene showing this particular armor.
Here you go, check out the thread over at the RPF I posted a screengrab showing the AB section.

Thanks for the confirmation Anthony
I'll have to dig out all my photos I took of that suit,heck I even filmed it
No problem Paul, I'd sur love to see your pics, if you could send me some I'd really appreciate it.
Is the Museum of the Moving Image still open in London? I tried to look it up but it said it closed in 1999 has it shut permanently or just moved?
Anyone know?
I would love to see these suits if they are still on display somewhere.
Cheers Chris.
Chris,
Unfortunately the museum is closed, I know the Moving Image was on tour in 2002 and they had one of the ROTJ troopers with them, probably the one Paul saw too.
I was there twice in the late 90's. Those suits are awesome a 100 time better than the tour suits I saw in SW exhibits.
Cheers.

John,
Does one of those ROTJ suit's at the Museum of the Moving Image have what looks like a black rubber band or inner tube for a brow trim?
I think the one I saw in Sheffield Film Exhibition was on loan from the museum.It was a full suit (minus boots) with metal blaster and looked awesome.
-Paul.
Well I'm not John , but I can confirm you that you're right about the brow trim.
Cheers
-
There are also 2 full ROTJ suits at The Museum of the Moving Image here in the UK
I can confirm that, I saw them in person and up close too when I was in London.
From what I could tell the suits looked like background studio suits as well.
-
Hummm Joe those two helmets look very familiar
The TE RotJ doesn't look like that anymore I'll post some pics when it's finished.
Here is my GINO ANH stunt, it's the only ANH helmet that I've , all my other ANH helmets are converted or in the process of being converted into ESB.
Cheerios

Clutch is your helmet signed by Matt/TE on the inside of it???
My TE is signed and dated.
He only made a few and they're hard to find. They're made out of ABS like GF's were.
I have a Gino helmet and it's def not made out of ABS it's made out of glossy hips.

Awesome photos Matt.

I love that last pic of the "silent sentinels"
Very cool

Hey Roger good to hear from you mate , How is it going?
I took a break from replicas to focus on my screen used collection, mostly from Dredd (2012) and Batman Reurns.
No matter how hard I try I always seem to be drawn back to SW though, especially with all the lineage stuff made available by RS,. Have you seen the Snowtrooper helmet ? (one of my favourite costumes of all times)
I've also been blown away by the great research made public by this communnity on found items for the sandtrooper backpacks.
And yes I've decided to build a 'Someone was in the Pod" trooper display using all the vintage and best parts available.
What about you? Are you going for a "Move Along" replica display? Do you have a progress thread somewhere?
