That's for sure. I bet you would be hard pressed to find two that looked alike. Generally the originals look like they were assembled during an all nighter pub party. The assembly crew didn't have a gram of the experience you guys have assembling stormtroopers. With that said, any replica is going to be an approximation. Even if it's made from a digital scan from the best surviving original that has been laying around for 32 years warping and discoloring. Those Master Replica boys did alright. That's a fine looking helmet for mass production. Thanks for posting those pictures. It's really cool seeing them all together like that.

Is that what they did with the LE? I thought it had it's funky asemetry intact.

That sucks. I hope your kids are ok. I've never been in a hit and run but I've run into my share of good and bad cops.

I have a pair of Dan111h20 boots. The guy is great to deal with. The boots I got from him are a little square in the toe. It might just be my size 13. Let the giant feet jokes begin.... I'll post a picture of them later today. I'd really be interested in your feedback. Too bad about CA boots. -John

Nice work. I guess I'm going to have to do the ears on mine. That looks great.

Very cool. You can never have enough.

Yeah, It's hard to believe that is a licensed product. Even makes the Don Post helmets look good.

If you use silicone you will not have a problem with the part sticking. No release agents are needed. Fiberglass resin would be a different story. Are you planning on duplicating a vacuum molded ABS part?

Good one. Thanks for sharing.

With all this expertise you're going to end up with a great project.

Here's a pretty good reference for measurements: http://www.studiocreations.com/howto/motm_...ents/index.html

It's not an MRCE. I'm sitting here looking at mine and the ears are all wrong. The indents above the brow aren't as deep as the MRCE also there doesn't appear to be a seam along the corners of the mouth. Curious. I wonder if it's one of the Disney made lids. There was a brief mention of Disney made armor on the 501st podcast recently. I'm hardly an expert though. Interesting mystery.

Sorry to hear that Mike. I guess the big Guy has something else in mind for you. Hang in there. -John

Very nice. You can never have too many lids.

Hey Nathan, Glad you made it. Welcome to the saved by the helmet club. Take Care, Heal fast. -John

Sorry to hear about your job Steve. It's amazing how fast everything is spiraling down the tube. My companies stock is worth half of what it was a month ago. Hang in there. there's got to be something better out there. -John

Yeah besides all the great info here and the fantastic knowledge and experience of all the great people of the forum. One of the members here -Dave- TK-6044 has done a YouTube documentary on the construction of an FX kit. It's really helpful find it here----- Have fun. -John

Good luck Mike, with all these prayers, mine included, it should go well. -John

I paid $4.25 last fill up. My Jeep is getting about 20 mpg. My wife gets 50 mpg in her Prius. That's an awesome car. Here's my latest Imperial requisition, the TK Scoot Much more practical than the old TK Transport. I think I have a white and black problem.

Great job Mark! Looks awesome. -John

How many of you guys have a pair of boots by dan111h2o? I got mine and they seem a little square in the toe. It might be the huge size I had to order for my feet.

That is a nice looking helmet. What make is it?

Yeah! That was fun. Long lines were part of the experience. I saw EP4 8 times that summer and it always was at least 4 hours in line. Had to be near the front.

Hey Michelle, I'm about ready to do the same thing. Let us know how it goes. -John

That's a great idea. There's probably enough room in there to mount them without the holes. I did something similar with a headset from a motorola 2-way radio and my motorcycle helmet. If you crack open the casing of these particular head phones the speaker is very flat. I slipped the speaker behind the helmet padding and secured them with a dab of hot glue. It was an easy way to add 2-way communication to a helmet. Have you seen those little ear boosters they sell on TV? Their probably mono.
