SHOWOFF: RS Prop Masters "HDPE" Replica Stormtrooper Stunt Helmet

Hi guys. OK, well it is getting on for two years now since we started looking into creating this replica. We are now at the point where we can see some real results. The plastic, in the correct gauge was simply impossible to locate. We eventually got very lucky after talking at length to an engineering plastic supplier, who had a heap of contacts and managed to track down a limited number of sheets for us. We bought them all, but, there is not a huge stash.

The plastic is nasty to work with, we had the usual issues with cooling lines, but pushed hard to create a replica of Simon's, which was always the goal. Once we had cracked it it's pretty good to work with. I can see why the helmets were created using this stuff for sure, the detail is amazing.

We don't post a lot of the more day to day stuff here on the RPF, why would we? But we do have fun with it on our Facebook page, get over and like us if you want to see more about this project and the other stuff we are upto. RS Prop Masters | Facebook

Hope you enjoy the photos of our replica, we are really proud of this baby

I never thought the day would come that we would have such a fantastic replica such as this! It's just like the real thing. My how things have changed in the time I've been in this hobby. The attention given to the 'little' details is certainly what it's all about!

.. Just incredible!!That is the most accurate trooper helmet replica ever produced, anywhere. Wonderful!

Went to your FB page and LIKE all of it

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

I would be worried about authentication if I owned an original helmet! ;-)

Insane replica, I can't wait to see a detailed weathered, paint chipped one with rusted screws and full on weathering, and painted details.

Great work guys and kudos for forming with that material.

Mates, I still love this thing so much. Great to see that production is well underway. I might even see a pile of these when we come to visit you, no?

Phenomenal!!

Now that's just cool looking.

real gem !!!

I don't think it gets better than this. It's a work of art.

Nice!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous. THE helmet we've been waiting to see for decades!

I. WANT. ONE.

Awesome!! Just awesome!

I have one of those, behind glass, I can't bring myself to paint it, it's just so cool in raw form already

Beautiful helmet, i don´t get tired looking at those pictures!
I can´t wait to get mine, guys!

I have two of these. Going for a third one soon.
They are FANTASTIC!

Even those close up photos don't show half the detail thats on these helmets.
Holding it side by side with the original was really cool, as every single little detail thats on the original is one this replica.

Best EVER stormtrooper helmet!
