Stormtrooper Helmet Origin

[JiminSTLouis]

My wife bought this helmet for me for Christmas from an RPF member (Funky Jedi) and I was wondering if anyone recognized it or knew it's origin? I've since installed new bubble lenses and Hovi Mic tips. I'd love to know what the molds were based on.

Asymmetric eye cut outs and nose vent screen.

The helmet is heavy fiberglass, not injection molded ABS, padded with chin strap.

Cloth covered foam eyebrow.

Two Screws on top, one on the bottom and gaps on the ear pieces.

Original Mic tips that came with the helmet and the chin piece is painted on. I have a new one but need to trim and attach it.

Thanks!

The helmet is really durable and heavy and the fiberglass work is flawless. The finish is near perfect.

Interesting "beast" of a bucket, and by that I mean it looks like it could stand up to a lot of punishment. :thumbsup

I looked at that helmet in the JY as well. Cameron Oakley was the only maker of fiberglass helmets back in the day (1990's).

But further digging, there were other fiberglass helmets over the years.

Hope this helps you find its mother haha.

Thanks, I'll scan those sites and see if there are any similar features to mine.

It's a very soft pull. Interesting that the vocoder is a vinyl sticker, not moulded in at all.
