Can anyone identify this Stormtrooper Helmet?

Actually the debate was over for the experts when we saw his first pics long ago.

It's the people not as dedicated to trooper research who need the diagrams/comparisons. Some people need to have it pointed out to them.

Some people just don't WANT to believe it.
How do you convince those people?
You can't.

I realize this, so I'm pointing this stuff out for those who place the truth over their personal feelings.

I'm always up for educating and learning. That is why I am here. I am no expert and have learnt a great deal already. Thanks everyone.

But if you think that I would fabricate something like this, then you don't know me, and two, your opinion is already solidified regardless.

Some people will never admit they were wrong or back down from a position regardless of whatever 'proof' is supplied. Those people have no integrity and are not to be respected.

Then again, in most cases (not all) but most of the people supporting TM in this regard are known recaster supporters.

Come on Gino, we're on the Internet, noone knows anyone, so you can't judge anyone's integrity. My opinion is not solidified, I have no problems in admitting I'm wrong, I learn from my errors.

I'm not saying you edited pictures, because I have no proof, understand?

I don't know you, nor TM, nor anyone on this damn medium, the only things I trust are my eyes, my reason and objectivity.

I'm supporting intellectual honesty.
 
I don't have anything to really add here,but there are some really nice helmets that are shared here on the RPF! Ginos' point is(if I read all the posts so far)is that the quality of a persons' work, if it's a recast can be seen in small imperfections that most don't even know about,and some don't even care! The quality of how well it's done can vary from person to person. Some will like this about a helmet,and change it,so it makes it hard to know,unless you have the original item,or access to it,and familiarize themselves as he did! This is a LOT of work,if you don't know how much effort goes into it,and especially if you have to do all the leg work,and find the right connections that are in the know yourself!
 
No, it's about whether TM's helmet is sculpted from scratch as he claims, or if it is a recast.

For the informed, it's quite obvious that it was recast.

How do we know the pictured 'TM' is even a TM? Gino will lie and make up BS to support his warped meglomaniac viewpoint.:lol

Cue the joke response when he has no factual or scientific argument...

Move along and ignore the propaganda.

Without proof we are still not getting anywhere. If this has been trashed out before then i guess full photos have been posted before. If not then the same rule would apply then as it does now.

You didnt reply to my earlier post. I have a TM helmet that does not have this detail. You asked for people to give you their thoughts on this detail and i have.

What does "informed" mean?

You had a mole in his village? You paid his wife to spy on him?
Come on...

It's not Michelangelo's David, it's a small faceplate, you can replicate it from scratch if you have enough skill and years of time just like he said he did, i just think it's plausible.
Maybe he bought a TE helmet and copied it side-by-side, taking exact measures and tweaking day after day. Would that be recasting to you?
Would you blame him for that?

I have no proof, and I don't accept leaps of faith.

Again, there are paintings copiers so good that they can fool the original artist himself.

In the context of which I said it, it means knowledgeable.

You don't know how ridiculous what you are saying is.
If you or anyone believes this, I don't know what else to tell you.
I don't know, maybe magic is real!

Damn, you're hard...

I don't BELIEVE anything, I just don't deny plausible possibilities,
since we have no proof and probably we never will.
 
For some people, there is never enough tangible physical proof shy of the guy admitting it himself.
Even then I wonder if then some would say, are you sure about that?

This is all pointless, reason vs faith.

The TM helmet that i own does not have this bump detail as seen is your alledged photo of a TM.

I am more than happy to take a close up picture tomoro during day light if you wish to see it for yourself.

I'm sure this person could take pictures of the helmet from else where to keep from being "outed" So fair everyone else that owns a TM says this detail is not there. So when was this TM helmet in the photo made?

What could the owner lose from you showing said helmet? I would think you would be a bit kinder to calling someone a recaster TE to this day says he never gave you permission to Cast his stuff. No one is head hunting you:angel
 
Oh really, the original molds I have that were bought from Matt back in 2000 just materialized out of nowhere?
Or we robbed his house on the other side of the US?

You're out of your element Donnie!

I'm not to fair out of my element bro. I know a lot more then I am allowed to say, You know how it is. Your famous for info you can't share. BTW You didn't answer a single question I asked.
