Re: Edit: CFO ROTJ helmet / And now RSprop (ESB)
And more pics of the finished helmet:
It's a weathered helmet, inspired form the screen used one with the patch on the back (it's why I reproduced the screw with a rouded head, on the right ear!)
CFO mic tips, personal silkscreened style decals, S shaped neck trim cut, inside painted with khaki paint (in order to give the illusion of the HDPE) and piece of green acetate for the lens!

ANH & ESB helmets are basically the same thing (black frown & decals on ESB), he used an RS Prop Masters Helmet which could be painted in either ANH or ESB styling. They re-used ANH helmets for ESB, replacing hand painted details with decals, cut the eyes back a bit more and painted the frown black.

Re: Edit: CFO ROTJ helmet / RSprop (ESB) / CFO strikes back!
I wanted to change what we usually see with RSprop helmet and decided to make it in ESB style ^^
And here's both helmets:
Sorry for the crap pics, I took them too fast!
Some details: Two helmet kits from CFO. One is the JoeR helmet (ROTJ v2) and the other one is the second style (ESB MKII/ ROTJ v1) actually offered by Mark "sskunky".
The ROTJ v2 is made out of gloss ABS. I massembled it in order to reproduce an Endor style helmet, thus with a huge weathering. I tried to be as accurate as possible, thus I used casted of original mic tips, green acrylic bubble lenses, U shaped brow trim, S shaped neck trim and textured decals made by hands (with my own pattern)
The singularity of this helmet is the right rear decals and the mic tips.
Largely inspired by this one:
For the second helmet (ROTJ v1), I used the few pics I had of John original helmet to help (but didn't tried to make an exact copy)
Same treatment, ABS "pinseal" kit. ANH/ESB style ears from an RSprop helmet kit. Same thing for the mic tips, from CFO (those are excellent).
Lenses, rubber trim identical. Same process for the decals (I 'm not sure that the original were "silkscreened" due to the lack of HD close up pics, but I suppose the ILM crew made them the same way as the ESB and ROTJ V2 decals. The color and the shape are different.
Thanks for watching.

Re: Edit: CFO ROTJ helmet / RSprop (ESB) / CFO strikes back / RSprop PP p.2
Here's the new one: RSprop PP helmet!
I initially wanted to make it clean....but wasn't happy with the result. It sounded "wrong" to me and I finally decided to add some weathering (but no paint cracks).
Some details: silkscreened decals (from my own design), three parts white resin mic tips (not a recast but a scratch build), green acetate lens, yellow star form inside, rubber trim glued with neoprene.
