Hi peeps,
I thought as we now have a forum section for Star Wars costumes this would be a good place to show off what I make.....
Here's a link to the review that Jez @ starwarshelmets.com wrote up about a weathered ROTJ Endor armour and helmet I made:

“Created by fans for fans”
In 2010 after a combined twelve years in the hobby, two Star Wars collectors joined forces to offer something special. Driven by the desire to exceed fans expectations whilst providing a superior product with direct movie lineage, Mark founded Cast from Original – CfO. Cast from Original strive to offer the most accurate replica props available in the world with proven lineage.

My kit has direct lineage to a screen used ROTJ Stormtrooper armour. The original actors were about 5'10" and 160-180lbs. The armour is adaptable to larger troopers and smaller troopers and has been worn by people ranging from 5'4" 140lbs to 6'4" 220lbs. Yes, my armour is 501st passable and passes the highest standard with the correct accessories.

History:
In the late 1980’s an Australian Star Wars fan was lucky enough to acquire a set of Stormtrooper Armour which was rescued from a skip at Elstree Studios. The suit was most likely created during the making of Empire Strikes Back and is what we refer to as an ESB Type 2 or ROTJ Background version. He had the presence of mind to create a set of molds from the armour.
Fast forward to 2010 and the founders of CfO were lucky enough to acquire the original set of molds taken from this suit. These molds pre-date all the other replica suits that have been offered to fans over the years.
CfO were also lucky enough to acquire an original Return of the Jedi Stormtrooper helmet in 2009, this helmet was taken apart and molds were taken four plastic pieces along with casts of the original green bubble lenses.
The helmet and suit molds have been vacuum formed on a professional 8ft x 4ft machine to offer you the fans, one of the most accurate replicas ever made available!
Thanks for reading.
Mark.
