Vader Helm - Anyone know about this?

[royal vader]

Hi all, saw this Vader helm on the bay today.
Seller says its a "CELTICH TOUCH"version. Anyone heard of this? :confused

No live auction links please.

Yeah, check out starwarshelmets.com, quite famous helmets, not being made anymore though...
In my opinion, the CT helmets had the neatest attachment mechanism of any helmet. I kinda prefer the over the top look of the mask on it to the real reveals...

Thanks Thrawn,

Yea, the top of the helm and the attachment method caught my eye, I had never seen one of these before.
Do you know when these were made and who made them? How many?

Excellent helmets. Kinda pricey but worth it if you're looking for quality.

He's hardly on the RPF anymore. He sold his last lid last year to Saberfreak. Its one of the better lookin' fanmade ESB helmets.

You'll find details of it here (scroll down): http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bingo275/vaderfan.htm

CT helmets were awesome, made not far from where I live in Melbourne. It was a 20thC cast, so it came from good stock.

I had to remove the link though, as live auction links aren't allowed.

If you're thinking about buying it, I wouldn't hesitate :thumbsup

Cheers,

Kraig

I like the CT..

It is a good helmet and always nice in any collection..However it depends what you want from it?..If you are after accuracy it falls short, if you are after just in general a nice helmet that is fairly rare to come by then that's something else. :thumbsup

I like the looks of the attachment as well. Fills the void and looks more comfortable.

Looks like a great trooping helmet.

There's something about the aesthetics of the CT helmet that just rings true with me. Definitely worth recommending and near the top of my wish list - most suave looking fan creation, imo.

Thanks everyone!
I had never seen a CT before, and it does look good.
I currently troop with a DP CA heavily modded and was possibly looking for an upgrade. I like my CA helm, but the "classic" neck flare / warpage is uncomfortable on my neck, and not wanting to straighten it, I was looking for an alternative, accurate ESB helm. :cool

Yeah I love my CT lid to bits.

And to know that its the very last one kinda make it special for me.
