Can you identify the maker - Stormtrooper Helmet?

[JoeR]

This is copied from the ROTJ helmet that was displayed by Propstore recently in the USA. It matches up in multiple places, pics to follow.

Thanks to Verne for the pictures.

It has indentations from all the decals which is very cool as it was copied from the outside, and the original brow and neck trim.

Does anyone know which of Matt TE's friends made this? Are they still around to contact?

don't know where it came from but would love one of these. nice score.

 

[JoeR]

Thank you!

Bump for the evening crowd.

That's a nice looking helmet.

 

[CSMacLaren]

Got any 6 foot shots? Too much perspective distortion to an otherwise nice looking helmet!

 

[JoeR]

No Mac, I don't have it in hand yet. I just need to know if anyone remembers who made these, it was a friend of TE......

Joe,

Is it a Mattiza Jedi lid?

If not the only person who I remember making fibreglass lids back in the day was Cameron Oakly.

Cheers Chris

FON says it is not a Matizza and I am sure it is not an Oakley. Hence I am confused as to who made it.

temple indent looks a different shape to me

 

[JoeR]

Angles, lighting are different and the decal makes it look different too, there is too much that is the same for it to be from a different helmet.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Wasn't the display helmet matched to the helmet TE owned?

 

[JoeR]

Yes it was carsten and this is a copy of that helmet, but TE says someone else made this helmet.

 

[jedimaster]

Looks better than an Oakely Casting.

I guess that the Cameron Oakley have been over reworked year after year.

For those who still have doubt about origins of each helmet, here is a common point: one scratch behind the left ear (sorry for the poor quality of this pic assembly)

If you have those pictures on your computer, you'll be able to see what I mean.

 

[JoeR]

I'm confused, are you saying the helmet I have is an Oakley?

The three pictures show the TE worn helmet, the cast and then the RotJ on display.

To me it sounds like the Oakley comment was separate from the pictures.

Ah ok, thanks, I think it is clear the heritage of this helmet.

 

[jedimaster]

i think he was just responding to my reply about the oakley castings

 

[Nairod]

Yep, I wasn't enough clear, sorry ^^

I have never seen pictures of the original helmet that Cameron Oakley copied to make his replica. But a CO doesn't looks like to this ROTJ helmet.

 

[jedimaster]

Any news on this yet ? and where can i get one?
