The base cast was from the GS helmet that was pulled from the uk mould around early 1980's.
it was given to a carpenter working on set. It was a fairly rough cast and badly painted, cracked and chipped. We were volunteered to mould and cast the original helmet. I then reworked a cast of that into what you see here. I will be running these but have a few details to work out first.
This was the original helmet that was cast.

Only just seen this sskunky. loving the work 
Do you have anymore info on the GS helmet you have shown? I know a bit about the different lineage castings but not this one.
I can see its a anh face and a later dome, unless its an anh dome thats damaged? I love learning the histories of casts, as we all do I'm sure.

The history of the GS is on the Propden but it's a cast from the uk mould taken around the time of ESB/ROTJ. The faceplate was ANH and a direct cast of the screen used ANH faceplate which was moulded for the production of the ESB and ROTJ screen used helmets. The dome is ROTJ not a broken ANH dome. I believe they had the ROTJ dome as early as '79. The donee helmet was owned by a carpenter who worked on ESB and rotj.
This has turned out really well , and the direct link to an original makes it all the more desirable .
Excellent job mark.

As always, thanks Mark for sharing such great high resolution detailed pictures. Not just of the items you make, but over the years the photos of helmets of provenance you personally took that you could share and have shared with us. It adds a lot to the hobby and always a thrill seeing such rare items in full detail. Thanks!
