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 ?

this link may work during 2023 . It’s the belt material . From the U.K.
-
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there’s no point in me posting a link as it will be out of date for readers in the future .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 .

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.
-
Rs use humbrol enamel paint , maybe remove all your spots with white spirit and start over.
-
They have regular updates on their YouTube channel. They are full on busy at the moment, and in full production .

Great to have you in the " club" Tim .
Centurian wont be far off ....

A couple of years ago I made an ESB conversion kit for my RS props new hope armour .
My garrison trooped at a live orchestra screening of the movie ESB , so I quickly sorted an ESB costume .
the main thing was the helmet, and as a helmet collector I luckily already had an RS ESB helmet , that would have been the expensive part .
I picked up some cotton gloves and ESB handgards from RS , leaving just the holster issue .
Luckily the RS holster is attached by Chicago screws, so I unfastened the holster straps , ( ok, it left holes in the belt on the left... but hardly noticeable) then with some offcuts of leather ( a cheap black leather belt from the cheap shop) I made two ESB loops to fasten to the holster with the original Chicago screws , allowing the holster to loop onto the belt on the right side.
It was a quick and simple conversion kit that was completely reversible , and I've got it saved for another event one day . The whole " kit" is stored inside my ESB helmet .

Forget the colour discrepancy, no one will ever notice , just build your new belt and troop on . After the first troop you will have forgotten there's a colour difference .

Hi Tim , great to meet you at the studio this morning . Your enthusiasm for trooping really shon through .
Im sure you're clearance will be straight forward now your latest tweKs have been carried out .
Look forward to trooping with you when the world starts returning to normality .

That's an amazing rescue job you have done there Dan .
It really looks the part . The green really mimicked the pp green of Simons helmet . And the very brave black on grey paint job really works well .
Good job .

I have those boots , I don't think they need breaking in , I collected mine at an RS props open day a few years ago, and simply wore them for the whole event ...broke in nicely lol . I've trooped regularly in them for four years at least before lockdown , and have never cleaned them , they still look smart . Not quite " like new" but no real marks scuffs or creases . The leather they use is good quality , and is coloured well .

I don't understand why you didn't just order the blaster from RS . Theirs are super accurate , and unlike others, have a hollow alloy tube down the middle, making them super strong and infinitely customisable if you go that route .

Threads on the r.p.f have discussed and identified these , I believe on the promo picture and hero blaster .
Not all the blasters though .
