Re: Yet another Stormtrooper helmet
I agree - this is my favourite one yet! Gotta thank RS Propmasters for that though - without their work, this would just be red primer, white paint and a few tins of Humbrol

Re: Yet another Stormtrooper helmet
Hey R2Dan!
This helmet is so cool! Really amzing
May I ask you an information: this is a green helmet (made of HDPE, isn't it?) and the acronym SA on the plaque means?
Maybe Screen-Accurate?
The question is: the Stormie from the OT, ANH movie for example, wasn't made of ABS?
Sorry for this "silly" question but I am a "saber-boy" so I am not expert on Stormtrooper helmet and my next project will be to acquire a RS Strormtrooper...I know they have a variety of plastic to choose and, at least for the time being, an "Anthony Forrest Signature Edition Sandtrooper" and also an ESB Alan Harris SE.
Thank you very much for sharing with us this great helmet and congrats for your skills!

Re: Yet another Stormtrooper helmet
Fu** me Dan that's impressive - I want one!
Makes me laugh to think that in years to come, some overpaid auction valuer is going to have a hell of a job differentiating this from an original :lol

Re: Yet another Stormtrooper helmet
We all know projects are never really finished...
Shortly after taking those pics, I talked to a good friend who had a suggestion for a more accurate blue to use on the tube stripes, so I obviously had to redo those. The new colour looks a lot closer to what we see in archive pics of the real lids, hoping I'll get a chance to compare it to the real ANH lid on display at Star Wars: Identities, as it is coming to Cologne this May ( OdiWan72: We better find a date to go there together).
The second upgrade were new mic tips I just recently got from Keith. While the RS one piece mic tips are decent, I needed something a little more accurate for this helmet. Keith was nice enough to send me a set of his cast from original three part tips. The visual difference might be minimal, but it's one step closer to making it a better forgery. I installed them just now and used the chance to snap a few more pics, so here goes:
It is really about time I start the accompanying armour build, but to be honest, I'm still collecting supplies for that. Finding vintage elastic is a major pain in the backside
