TK bondservnt[501st] Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 the space trooper appears as the only photo we have of an ANH trooper wearing one? is this correct? Quote
Sonnenschein Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 I agree with you, Juan. There's no hard evidence of them wear it. But there's a high probabilty.That why I started this thread inthe first place. Let's see if we find some pics! Quote
troopermaster Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) These guys in ESB certainly don't wear a balaclava. -------- You can see a troopers face/neck in the Carbon freezing chamber scene in ESB so no balaclava there either. The only trooper I have ever seen with a balaclava on is Joe Johnston as the space trooper in ANH. There may be behind the scenes photos of troopers wearing them in ANH and ESB but I have never seen anything. Edited January 18, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) No sign of any balaclava on Anthony Forrest either --------- Edited January 18, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Sonnenschein Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Posted August 31, 2012 Indeed! But check out his neck seal! Quote

Could only be that he just had it tucked in under the chestplate or pauldron. There are other pictures where the whole circular neckseal is shown.

Sonnenschein Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Posted August 31, 2012 Looking on the dirty boys, their neck seal is 1" too wide! Quote
iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Can I have my neckseal 1" too wide? That would mean another mould, so I will answer my own question: No. I have a theory that Sandtroopers had a different neckseals than most other TKs in ANH. Just like with the rest of the armor and gear. The Sandtrooper armor was more a prototype than the finished product. That is why so many things are different. Why not the neckseal too? Dont worry, I am happy with whatever you end up producing! Saludos Quote
Sonnenschein Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Posted August 31, 2012 Let me finish first Too me, those guys look like natives from Tunesia, they are VERY skinny and not really tall Quote
iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Yep, TDs look shorter than TKs too. About being actors from Tunesia, I dont know. At least Anthony Forrest is not. And the rest of them look like having a 70's western haircut. Don't know for sure, but no doubt someone here must know. And yes, no pressure... I know you are on it and there is a process before actually being able to produce the part! Saludos Quote
