Help identifying a helmet

[lordhotwing]

Mystery Solved! thank you Captain April!! This is from: The Crusade Babylon 5 series

Hi all. I bought this helmet at a garage sale a few years ago. At the time, the girl said it came fro Starship Troopers, but I have yet to see a scene where this might have come from. So, not sure what movie if any it is from.

It is a very nicely constructed piece. The ring on the bottom is nice aluminum that looks to attach to a suit. The side pieces at the ear are machined aluminum. The visor above the face has an area where you could put lighting to illuminate the face. It is a little rough. I was thknking to try and restore/repair it, but first I wanted to figure out what it was, and how much care I should take to keep it original.

Doesn't look like starship troopers.. but I do recognize the design, just can't remember from where.

James Cameron's The Abyss maybe??

Def not Starship troopers. Some sort of EVA helment. Kinda reminds me of the 2001 helments.

Man that looks familiar. My first thought was 2001 or Star Trek but I got a feeling I've seen it in an Outer Limits episode somewhere.

i thought it was from an Accelerator Suit, but nope, close though

I agree, it looks like a Space Odyssey 2O01 helmet.

 

[DanielS]

It is indeed similar to the 2001 helmet but still... I recognize it from somewhere else...
What about planet of the apes? (original film) I don't really remember how that suit looks like and couldn't find a decent pic. Just kinda fits

A few similarities to a NuBSG helmet, but that´s about it.

I sent larry young a Pm so he will check this thread.

 

[Larry Young]

Sorry, I don't know what that's from.

I've seen this helmet before... Could it be from Sphere??

 

[SmilingOtter]

Not Sphere - at least not from the scientists' suits. Did the ship's occupants have helmets?

 

[Captain April]

It looks like the helmet used in Babylon 5: River of Souls TV movie. Nice find but it does need work.

 

[Captain April]

Correction it's not from "River of Souls", it's from Babylon5: Thirdspace.

 

[lordhotwing]

Is there any chance you might have some refrence photo's from Babylon5: Thirdspace? I would really like to know.
BTW, def not BSG. I had this before that came out.
Thank you all for the input, you guys are a great group!

I have the DVD so I can make few screen caps for you. There was even a CGI version in the movie.

 

[Captain April]

I was able to get the DVD during lunch:

As you can see although the design is very close it's not the one you have. I have seen that Helmet somewhere...:cry

 

[lordhotwing]

VERY similar. I would guess made by the same prop maker. The lite panel above the face is almost spot on. However, more machining work was done on the aluminum pieces. The round vent is all alum, and rotates in a socket.
Based on the ring on the base, it really looks to have mounted to some kind of enviromental type suit.
