sskunky Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I thought I'd share what I made in my new workshop. I've been meaning to do this helmet for some years but just not had the space to finish the moulds. Now I have. This was a flat sheet of plastic a few days ago. So using my Formech 660 vacuum former I set to work. Just did a quick assembly today. Still a couple of teething problems but definitely getting there. This was cast from JoeR's ESB MKII helmet. CFO ESB Mkii Stormtrooper helmet. No.1. Enjoy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edited October 3, 2016 by sskunky 3 Quote

sskunky Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Posted October 4, 2016 Wow! A never before seen stormtrooper helmet posted on a Stormtrooper forum and two comments. Lol. I remember when people got excited about new replicas that are cast from original helmets. <br><br> Oh well. <br><br> Thanks for your comments guys. Quote

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I didn't realise when I saw these on FB they had heritage! Is that carbon chaber shot the one it's traced back to? edit: just relised that was posted by some one else Have you been able to screen match the origional at all?

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 I've started down a rabbit hole...This is going to end expensively isn't it. Looking at the few images I've found only this Mk2 is build in a sort of hybrid ESB//ROTJ way ie no ear screws. That last detail is interesting as it would mean it would fail at ESB level clearance. Seeing as I now want one of these I'll have to start digging up some more reference images. 1 Quote
sskunky Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) It was cast from this helmet but I don't think it's been placed on screen yet.. Edited October 4, 2016 by sskunky 1 Quote
sskunky Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Posted October 4, 2016 Also the ears I used were some ANH ones with screw holes. I have ESB MKII ears but just need to finish the moulds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

BobasBounty Posted July 1, 2017 Report Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I just received CfO's MKII kit I ordered last week and it is really nice. I highly recommend this kit. Oh and there are no dimples in the earpieces. Great job on this bucket. Edited July 1, 2017 by BobasBounty Quote
