Well done Tim , lots of detailed hard work has paid off . You really deserve this .

Do we know who the name ( Alan h ) refers to ? Presumably the stunt man that wore the helmet . when SSSkunky got one of these helmets he managed to,identify the wearer from writing in the helmet .

Well done Tim, and about bloody time !!!!! See you at an event very soon .

So why not go for centurion with your ANH RS armour as well ? Then you can have two costumes at EI and Centurian ! That would be cool .

Probably the most accurate esb armour available to be honest .

That’s a great photo, which I’ve never seen before . Do you have any information about it ? Where/when was it taken ? Etc …. Cheers.

Thanks Andrew . I guessed as much.

Even though the esb mk 2 suits were mainly used for promotional work, one does appear in the carbon freezing scene ( pick up shots filmed in America after principle filming was over ) . so it is classed as screen used . so if I were to build an esb mk 2 suit , as there is currently no CRL , would it be aprovable ? Could it be taken to expert infantry or centurion ?

The belt material appears to be 57 mm white nylon webbing . If you eBay search that ( in the U.K.) it’s available from military suppliers as the British army uses it for white ceremonial belts . It’s called courline webbing or parade belt webbing. it’s about 15 pounds for 1 1/2 meters . there’s no point in me posting a link as it will be out of date for readers in the future . I still can’t find a hi res clear picture of the U trim .

So, apart from “ contact cfo “ or “ contact Tm “ does anyone have actual sources of the 2 1/4 nylon webbing for belts, or the 10 mm up trim for around the body armour . Actual modern companies that sell to the public ???? im not excluding mark or Paul from the discussion, I just would like a source new members/ builders can use to locate their soft goods . id include white soled Chelsea boots in this enquiry, but I’m a realist . Lol . cheers folks.

The archive is owned by Lucas film . The licensing for Star Wars items is through Disney . No access to the lucasfilm archive comes with a Disney license . This answers your question .

The uk garrison will be hosting the 501st involvement in this event , keep checking their forum and social media for announcements . Early days yet , but my hotel is booked .

Rs props had a genuine crate , although they never discovered what it originally was , it had holes in the sides, and maybe childrens school playground equipment was considered . Unfortunately a mould wasn’t taken , and it was lost in the fire of 2021.
