go ahead dr.s

all you need to do apparently is label it a "mystery helmet"

seems to work for some other gap-toothed retards on here

Who said anything about those?? :rolleyes

Its good to see you acknowledge the AA helmet falls in the same catagory as the those above and that that the most accurate helmets are the TE and Gino's . :lol

Good to see you finally on board mate

Every screen unlicensed screen accurate helmet is a Recast - that was the whole point of the thread.
Are zorg's C3PO helmets recasts?
Yes.
Why is it okay to recast certain manufacturers helmets and not others?
I didn't make the helmet or cast any parts of it - if my friend ever decides to become a member of the RPF you can ask him where it comes from but I can tell you my friends TIE helmet is not a copy of an SDS as I've stated on many occasions.
If it were it wouldn't look as good or accurate as it does.

I did say "etc. etc." :etc

imo TE/Gino's probably do look more accurate from the back. I still think the SDS is best from the front though

Now that would be a funny email to send...

"Hey buddy, since you are about to be put out of business I was going to do some 1 x 1 copies of your bucket.  Would that be alright?"

To a point you're correct that "everything is recast" although IMO there's a world of difference between (say) TE getting an original Stormtrooper helmet and recasting it, and someone else merely buy a TE and recasting it.

I presume from your response that you (and your friend) don't see a difference, and that his TIE is recast - just not from an SDS

btw if you believe your mates TIE is more accurate than the SDS then put up some decent comparisons - it'd make an interesting thread

Is Zorg's C3PO helmet a recast?
Of course Ian's Tie is more accurate than the SDS.
The trident is completely correct - AA's is completely redone (badly enough to show that he didn't paticularly care much about the subject matter) and of course it has the very odd flare on the faceplate which is identical to the prototype helmet - probably because that's where it was copied from.
Your presumption that my friend and don't see the difference between buying a screenused helmet and recasting it or casting someone else's helmet is incorrect. :thumbsdown

And I did. That and the fact that unlike anyone else here he actually worked on Star Wars.

So are you saying that your "mate" didnt recast anything or just not an SDS?

 

[Gytheran]

I think he's saying his "mate" found the correct helmet to recast. If you're gonna do it, atleast do it right.

Are you expecting some kind of board "decision" over whether its okay or not? If so I dont think you'll get a clear answer

At the end of the day people will recast whatever they like, AA, TE, DP or whatever - and probably justify why its acceptable in their own minds "I've made it better, I needed to buy new parts for my car, I just wanted the cash etc. etc."

Some people will buy from them, some will consider them "stinkin' low-life", some will do both.

Shame he was lying through his teeth about most of what he did then, eh?

 

[kurtyboy]

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I recall about the Zorg 3p0 heads.

They were recast from one owned by a member (Vos?) which itself came from a run of only ten castings made from a screen used helmet.

It was done with permission from the original recaster, meaning that the original recaster agreed to allow someone to rip off the stuff that he ripped off :lol
