In hurry to see the first pull!
Thanks for the pictures, it's always a pleasure to see original props (especially a "raw" stormtrooper helmet ^^)
Do you plan to make accurate replicas of the mic tips? (with all the parts which compose them)

Will be exciting to finally see pulls from molds without any details being sanded down or removed like the tear track and the tube kinks etc.
This will be far and away the most accurate ANH helmet ever offered.
Thanks for sharing.
awsome, Si.
Pleeeeaaase let me know when you sell a cast of it!
This is amazing! Add me to the list of those salivating impatiently until copies are made available
Of course, but it can easily be re-assembled and it will still be assembled accurately in terms of shape and trim and such.defstartrooper said:
It's cool that these are being made... and I know an outside molding to make a fiberglass casting is probably not likely to happen, as not many people are interested in those anyway.
Well at least if I hit you with my pitchfork you would have a fibreglass lid to protect youToo Much Garlic said:
Make it just like it is. Stunt helmet!
Can't wait.
Bloody fantastic
As others have said, it would be great to see an unsanitised, uncleaned version - it would be the most accurate ANH Stormtrooper helmet ever
Cheers

I've been away from the boards for quite a while. To come back and see this is just jaw-dropping. Brings the fun back into it for me. Along with the others, I'm anxious to see pulls and will be in line if made available. WOW!
Gino's last helmets had what appeared to be brush strokes in the forehead etc. as well.SiMan said:
But I agree this could end up being THE helmet!
If the price is reasonable I will absolutely be picking one up!
This is really awesome stuff here. Can't wait to see an unsanitized ANH set of armor!!!
Im in for a stunt - to make a hero from this helmet would be to ruin the authenticity of the cast in my opinion..
Yep,
It's gotta be a stunt or nothing for me..... It is a stunt why change that? Who said we would prefer hero's ? It ain't a hero to start with.... Don't fix what ain't broken.
Si all anyone would be interested in would be a one on one exact replica of the helmet you have.
I'm eager to see whatever you guys do but would personally love an exact stunt replica of your helmet. Warts n all, no clean up. Oh and don't get me started on a replica of that armor I don't think my heart could take it. Oooooh boy.
gah!!!!!
hurry UP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the look of the inside of armor. I would be interested in a helmet as well if it was in my price range.

Now that Siman is here in the board and the discussion has turned more to his armor and helmet and away from the silly "news" about the supposed armor sale, I have retitled the thread.
Yep, please don't mess with this and make it a stunt version! You have such a good stunt pull there, a stunt replica is the way to go to blow us all away
Not everyone.stukatrooper said:
Reproducing every little bump and imperfection is INSANE.
The only reason they are there is cheap ****ty pulls at a cut rate, for a budget film.
Some of the worst VF, I've ever seen.

Those are still in production? I think I haven't seen one in years...Too Much Garlic said:

Actually get ANY of the exiting helmets if you want a sanitized or cleaned up version... And I'm not knocking any of those offerings just stating they are what they are...Too Much Garlic said:

The only thing that has never been offered is an unsanitized ANH helmet, thus the high appeal for leaving it raw...
IMO ideally two versions would appeal to just about everyone across the board
1. Bumps, divots, pimples and all the goodness that comes with a completely unsanitzed version... The purest of pure copies that has never been offered...
2. Ever so slight clean up, obvious small imperfections cleaned up, basically just a once over with a light sanding, but nothing changed or altered beyond basic surface smoothing...

Yes Si , a hero version , although nice to offer folks, is not what the majority of people want. As this is a really nice Stunt then I think this is the way to go, warts and all. It actually looks like a very good pull, no baggy eyes, crisp lines, tear detail etc etc. The best chance we have of getting an accurate ANH Stormtrooper helmet, thanks.
Blasphemy, that's the reason I love Star Wars props and this board. For me it's the imperfections that give these things character. As for the worst VF, give me Star Wars over silly looking CGI effects anyday.micdavis said:
