Fantastic! I guess they didn't have the Kraken there. I hope it still exists somewhere in the world. Additionally, I always wanted to see the sword, Shield, and helmet from the original; there are no good photos of those, anywhere.

HAHAHAHA!! Why are so many people afraid of this alien and E.T.? Hmmm...I'm surprised. I hoped there was some obvious way to cast this thing without damaging it. Thanks for the suggestions

I have a question about this Close Encounters head... Does anybody think that, if I were to loan this screen used mask out to some able hand-That a replica could be made without destroying this original one? I'd like a fresh one to use in a display (on a full body mannequin) and not have to...

Very odd idea. However, I have always thought that crew outfit was great looking. (even when I was a kid)

Wow-Thanks for getting this info to me. Very interesting suggestions. I'm not sure what to do yet, but in the meantime, I'm going to store it away, as suggested (airtight bag and box.) It is also nice to get real confirmation on it's authenticity.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas. My fear is, as Brundlefly stated, that because it's latex, it will disappear. It's been brittle since I got it, but only recently has it been getting darker in color. So, it seems it's on it's way out. I noticed that many of Ray Harryhausen's models are...

Thanks for the welcome! I dont have any other SU props. (I hope the welcomes still stands, though :confused) Also, as far as usuing a better fitting stand-I tried to take the mask off the styrofoam head/stand and I really couldn't get it off. It's quit brittle and I was afraid it just...

Oh, nice...I'd like to see that photo that you mentioned too.

I bought a Jawa from Tom Spina about 10 years ago and I asked him about this, then. At that time, he told me to use nothing but water on it. I didn't press for more info, though.

I know this might be better suited for the “Screen Used” section, but there doesn’t seem to be many craftsmen there and this isn’t simply a “Show” thread. Though, if this indeed does belong there, I’ll certainly remove it. I’ve had this screen used Close Encounters alien mask for about 10 years...

Terrific! I just wish there would be Harryhausen related events in the NYC area. They always seem to be in Europe or California.

That works...Looks good, thanks.

Thanks Jay, this is what I'm looking for-but is there a way I can see this without joining printroom? Yes indeed, this fiberglass is nasty stuff. I cant get the smell out of my basement...It's nauseating!

I'm try to convert my APH-6B into an Xwing helmet using an RA kit, but I'm finding it to be more difficult than I imagined. The real Helmet plus the kit were too expensive to afford a screw-up. I see the RA tutorial, but I'm having a tough time following it. I hope somebody here can show me...

I'm doing one of these today-I'm lucky I found this first. I purchased a 1/4 rod, but I'm not sure that is good for this, anymore. It looks too thick in person, at least to my eye. I guess I'll try the 3/16 that Adam suggested.
