Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
I've always loved the Vader helmet, but never really wanted to buy one....
That has now changed! eFX (and Gino) do us proud!

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
If stored correctly yes.
There was the rebel fleet stunt blaster mould from ANH that was still in existence a couple of years ago and it was in excellent condition and a blaster was pulled from it.

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Very cool news, GINO!
Here's hoping eFX makes an Empire helmet someday - my absolute favorite Vader helmet.

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Interesting.
GINO, seeing as you are working on this. Did the cast out of the mold come with tabs or no tabs?
How authentic will the dome be?

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Before certain people try to take all the credit, can I just say that there are several people here, myself included who have worked on the EFX ANH Vader Helmet project - for a quite considerable amount of time
Carsten to answer your question, the tabs themselvs were not present on the mould, bit the remnants of them (and also the screw holes) could clearly be seen
Cheers

Jez, I do not see Gino's post as taking full credit for anything, other than cleaning up what he said he was cleaning up on it. Nowhere did he say that he was the sole driving force behind this project.

Thanks mate for the clarification.

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
that alone speaks volumes to me as to what we should expect. i've seen you go at it on vader... if you think it looks good, i'll probably think it's the best thing ever!

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Even I could have told you that Carsten
I would show pics as well but you know the score :lol.
Thanks for the info Jez it just reinforces all the usual US / UK mould theories.
Gino / Jez / anybody else involved - did anybody from eFX go down the route of trying to source a UK style moulded Vader faceplate to compare and get an idea of the screen helmet before the Rick Baker clean up and moulding?
I always thought the US mould dome looked the business but prefered the UK style faceplate.
Not saying any one is better as it is just your own preference on which screen scene you prefer - Tantive all the way for me for the hand painted version from eFX.

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Oh sorry forgot to ask as well from anybody involved what is the plan for the tusks, mouth grill and lenses.
Please get accurate shaped lenses - the correct shape is in the mould you have and if done correctly will look great. Right and left eye do differ in contours.
What lens colour is planned?
Please get accuarate tusks and grill as well these small details will all add up to a better end product.
Cheers Chris

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
I don't mind hearing who's involved, because it's obviously a group of people working on it. What I could do without is all the negativity towards other members where past issues obviously haven't been resolved. I don't think there's a need to get so defensive so quickly.

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Will eFX be interested in showing pictures of the cast straight out of the Rick Baker mold or are we only going to be shown pictures of the refined master or production helmets?

Re: eFX ANH Vader?!?! WOW
Is there a projected release date on this?
The eFX ANH TIE was announced as a project what seemed like an age ago and it still isn't released.
Just wondering on how much saving up time I have if this product is up to scratch.
