Awesome...

Don't forget Si-Man. He has all cast from original ANH and in is latest helmet pictures there are armour bucks in the background. He is on LSD and the RPF.

From what I have seen I would say yes. From the outside I think I read somewhere. There are remnants of the tear track on the Mark II helmets, ears are glued on and a foam liner...Tibe kink matches an assembled ANH helmet and the dimple underneath. I don't know anything about the armour. Joe

I would go for a Si-Man cast from an original ANH helmet for the most accurate bucket.... The TM is lovely but accuracy wise a Si Man is the way to go. Joe

Happy birthday buddy. Hope you had a great weekend. Joe

I would love one when I have some more cash... Joe

My Mark II helmet came directly from the set of ROTJ in the UK. Will post a bit more info later. No proof it was used but it came in a damaged condition directly from the set. It is documented in a Star Wars Insider article...

It will come out folks just like the archive CD's. Patience....

1 more Facebook 'like' and we will give away a free liner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe & The CfO Crew.

I think he is addicted to starting random threads!

If these are based on John B's boots, if his suit was from ESB, were the same boots used in ANH?

Just head over to Facebook and 'like' our page and find out this weekends free prop give-away! CfO Cast from Original

As I said earlier there are no definites.

Glad this has been put to bed. Interesting read but I agree that we shouldn't base any research on a third or fourth gen recast. Joe

They were all different. You cannot really make any statements about SW props with certainty without seeing every single variation. Bumps.

Look out for a run of these in the for sale section folks. With regards to the bells I totally agree with Shawn. I will be including this on my suit. Joe

Looks awesome Stephen. Love it! Nice work. Just one minor thing the eyes look a little small with all the flashing??? It may just be me.... Joe

Thanks fellas for the kind words. Here is one of ours assembled by Stukatrooper(the master craftsman). Joe

I think I am going to pad out my shoulders. If you look at every screencap in ROTJ they are always popping out no matter what position the wearer is in. On the liners, we spent hours searching last night and Mark found something pretty close... Joe

Thanks Brian and good luck!

That is a really good point Rich, in that case our bells need to be more pinched at the top... Anyway sorry for the slightly OT. I think Mark has done a full strapping system, will let him chime in. Another point to bear in mind is that if John B's suit above was made at the time of ESB (as per theory on SWHelmets), it may have a different strapping system to the actual ROTJ suits.

Really interesting thread. I don't have much to add other than after looking at screencaps I am convinced that there was foam or something else 'pushing' out the shoulder bells from the inside, you can see screencaps where the elastic is wrapped around the arm but the bells are sitting very wide against the arm. Here are some more useful shots.

Happy birthday mate!

Have a study of the LFL archive photos that Matt G kindly shared with the world! ----- Courtesy of Caleb. JoeR
