Exactly!
I think it's more a matter of that Gino can't say the origins of the helmet because A) he'd loose that potential source for other projects and b) possibly a friend. I know we'd all love to know but he's not going to say so just leave it at that.
From original what?
amazing tie helmet! Gino kudos to you for not answering questions that dont have to be answered. I respect that fact that not every one needs to know certain details of things.
Again, very amazing helmet

Whoa!
Gino youre backtracking and to me it looks like youre trying to fudge the issue!
The word "hero" is irrelevant - there's only one HERO TIE known in existance and I've handled it several times.
The question was - Is your helmet a cast from an ORIGINAL TIE HELMET MADE FOR STAR WARS A NEW HOPE?
As SeanB13 has said it sounds like youre saying youve got bits from different original helmets (e.g. Stormtrooper, rebel). Thats fine but NOT the same as "cast from an original TIE"

Um. No.
.
OK then enlighten me - you have said yourself that you didnt cast an original TIE and the only other helmet to use those ears is the AT-AT you are saying you cast the only AT-AT driver helmet in existance??
You did say you cast it all from original remember, or was this bending the truth a little?.
Nope. All cast from original.
Lets not worry about what we don't know.
Since, what we DO know is that its pretty clear to everyone that these helmets were most certainly NOT cast off moulds from an original TIE or AT-AT helmet. We can be sure of that because so many of the parts are inaccurate - and this goes well beyond assembly. For example, the ears and mohawk give it away immediately.
Gino said "original" without clarifying exactly what was original. I believe that was underhand as he mistakingly thought that people would accept his word rather than call his bluff. Wrong!
Its a shame that rather than fess up he'd rather continue to play games to try and prolong the deception. Poor form.
