Tie fighter helmet what is the best

[RBJ]

I'm asking him again today.
I've just found these photos - I think he still has these parts sitting about...

..make it happen! I'm in for one!

I believe the car parts, are door card retainers, they look a lot like the ones Vauxhall used to use back in the day....

Yeah Anson get Ian to start making these again, he was supposed to be doing me a set of parts ages ago

Yeah, I remember buggin' him for one as well...but to no avail.

Now I'm waiting for my LAWS TIE...:love

That was my understanding - although a different make (having said that I'm confident they were a standardised car panel fitting lug used for many different makes/models). Having handled a few originals I was going to track some down but never got round to it.

LOL... careful... some may find that highly offensive. :lol

..I got a new Laws helmet too...they are GREAT!

 

[Remo]

Laws are great. Haven't seen any others to compare with.

There will definitely be others.

 

[Remo]

But will they be in a general collector price area or just for people in higher tax brackets? :lol

 

[propcollector]

I am with you on that....the price on some of these helmets is just over priced

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Looks nice... but it looks kinda half flat in the pictures... shouldn't the plastic be high gloss or is that just the pictures causing it to look a little dull?

 

[propcollector]

The ones we see in the movie were dulled down for filming

The cockpit shots yeah, also had silver/grey/gunmetal (covering all bases :lol) highlights all over them.

 

[GINO]

No dulling spray on the tie helmets.
The ones with silver detailing were the hero tie helmets.

,,the LAWS helmets are black ABS and can be polished as shiney as you like..I didn't want mine that shiney...

There will definitely be others.

Just not to compare:lol

I'm not trying to argue or anything, but I have no problem comparing mine when I'm ready.
