Hi guys

I have been working on a rotj Vader helmet based on a heavily cleaned up unaltered GS cast that we ran a while ago. The GS was a production made helmet taken from the original UK mould at the time of ESB and ROTJ and given to a carpenter who worked on set.
I spent many months researching the original helmets and how they were made,what paints were used, lens colours, grills and tusks. I had the mounting ring designed to match the original screen used helmets as I could not find the real life item.
I have used Rolls Royce paints as that’s what Ron Punter(original Vader painter) told me he used.
They will be £975 finished and £675 as a kit plus shipping.
If you are interested in going on the list please post.

Beautiful!! :thumbsup I'll look into a finished one in the future, when budget recovers. Wish I had the $ now
 
This helmet is beyond exceptional. You've done wonderful work on this Mark. Definitely put me on the list for a finished one.
 
Gorgeous :)

You're going to upset a lot of relatives of people on this board. Sorry, couldn't get you anything for xmas, I spent all my money on this awesome Vader helmet instead :)

Definitely interested in a completed one, how long is this going on for?
 
I have 18 on the list and I’ll be working down the list as I receive the casts from my friend. Each helmet will take a couple of weeks until I get up to speed. So this will be an open run and I’ll get to you when I do. [emoji1303]

I still love this helmet. As we discussed in pm I want to be on the list for a kit. But my funds will take a while to gather for this. I'm still interested but not sure when I will be able to make the purchase.
 
I woul love to be able to add my name to the list for a finished helmet. I've gotta check funds. Hopefully I'll be able to get in on the run, before time runs out.
I must say, it is a stunning piece! :love
 
Hey Marc

Are you still planning to make this into a VR mask at some point?
IF so, I´ll try to be patient and wait for it. ;)

If NOT, I´d be in for a kit WITHOUT the dome, if possible!?
 
Any updates on this run? instead of a kit I would like to be upgraded to a fully finished one. Im trying hard to gather the funds.

I need this helmet in my life!
 
Not sure how you usually cast these, but any chance you could cast the chin/jaw and face in separate pieces, each with a tiny bit of overlap across the line? Thinking this could make a lovely reveal...

Really beautiful ROTJ shape!
