Please help: Screen used ROTJ Biker Scout helmet

[DownInFlames]

Hello crowd,

I´m really trying to find either an original Biker Scout helmet or an original casting.

Is it possible to come across one ? Do original copies exist?

I own several of them (fan made replicas: Altmann´s, FS, etc) and even if they are very good, they are not screen accurate.

Is really the Altmann´s the "best one" out there or are there other options?

Please help.

Thanks

Ha! My heart actually skipped a beat when I read the title of this thread... I though someone was showing off a Biker Scout helmet! :rolleyes

AFAIK the only screenused Biker Scout helmet in a 'private' colllection, is the one which belongs to Steve Sansweet.
Off course, he's aslo a Lucas employee, so I wouldn't head over to his house with a big tub of sillicone rubber anytime soon

The only other Biker Scout options for a replica helmet are original sculpts...

Best regards,
John

Hello crowd,
Does anyone know anything about where I could find an original (screen used) Biker Scout helmet or a direct pull from one?
Feel free to PM me.
Thanks

Sorry guys....(changed the title).

The Altmanns biker was cast from a screen used helmet and is known as being one of the most accurate. I do believe though, that they're as rare as hens teeth, so my suggestion is keep an eye out on the JY or eBay, good luck

I've been to Sansweet's place and held the screen used bucket. Personally, I think the Altmanns and the MLC are the best options out there that resemble it the closest.

Yup, tons more pics. That particular photo is thanks to Brian (TK7602).... he was there with me.

My album of pics is here:

Thanks, yeah... it really was a dream come true. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been a chance to get into the archives on the Ranch. No dice there though. :unsure
