Original helmet restoration

[troopermaster]

Here's a link to an original ROTJ/ESB helmet restoration. I had totally forgotten I had this and thought I would share it with you. Some of you will have already seen this but for those who haven't, enjoy

 

*HELMET RESTORATION*

It's always great to see pics of unseen details of original helmets. Just now I'm building a ROTJ helmet replica, but I'm doin the rounded frown version.

Awesome link thanks Paul, I forgot about this. Paul must be upset about me sharing the LFL pictures! :lol Edit: Paul there is a second page as well please go ahead and share that too.

 

Kudos for remembering!

 

For those who don't know this is the link to the 'destoration' of my first ESB/ROTJ helmet. What Paul hasn't mentioned is that this work which was done badly was 'undone' by the Propstore of London at my request as it is not in keeping with my purist collecting habits!

 

Here is an interview I did with The Prop Blog about this helmet.

Seeing how you hate hoarding of info and photos, I thought I would share this with the community

 

I will be sharing more of your stuff in the near future. Watch out in the FS section!

That is great Paul.

 

If you could post the ROTJ neck trim section scan that would be good.

great everybody can see now how many parts the Hovi Mix PA2 Mic tips really were! And it should be easy now for everyone to recognize how screen accurate "available" mic tips really are!

Post 'em up!

 

As long as they are secret/behind the scenes kind of stuff that everyone hoards.

I have a feeling there is still something left to see that even wasn't published on DIY props?

[Darth_Finger]

Awesome stuff

I'm having a hard time picking my jaw up off the floor. You Guys Floor me with this stuff. FANTASTIC!!!!!

Here's page 2. Enjoy!

 

While this is a bad example of the restauration of a screen used helmet, those techniques can br used for our personal helmets. I personally like the way to reenforece the aerator sockets.

Link fixed.

Thanks for posting them

[Sonnenschein]

I somehow can't link to the 2nd page.

 

But just search the directory of this page; it's in the folder "ST helmet"

 

This is how I found it. There are lots of cool pics from other costumes
