btw: i don´t want to hijack this thread, but i finished the same helmet only two month ago. here is what i came up with, i hope you like it...

thanks for all your thoughts, i think this will become a ESB helmet sooner or later! @ Smitty i bought the helmet almost a year ago, over at the mepd board, from another member. i think i remember him writing that helmet didn´t came from Ebay, but i might be wrong... anyway, i plan to give it a paintchipped and screenused-look painting following existing reference pictures from various ESB helmets. low brow or not, i plan to do this helmet like a stunt helmet with two real earscrew instead of the already existing resin/fg screws. finally i planto ad GundamZeppelin´s absolutly great screenaccurate ESB decals and green flat acetat lenses. i don´t know how long this project will take, but i will post progress pictures... once again, thanks for your thoughts! feel free to post your suggestions and thoughts at any time!

hey, i bought this helmet a while ago and i´m still unsure if this is the right helmet for an ESB style. i´ve watched all ESB stormtrooper scenes carefully and it seems there were no "hero" looking helmet with the lower brow. actually this helmet isn´t a real "hero" style helmet but a reworked "stunt" helmet with filled 4th teeth hole and te second ear screw was sanded down by it´s previous owner. the screw can easiliy be replaced with a real screw, but i would have to keep the low brow as this helmet is made of fibreglas. here are a couple of pics... let me know what you guys think! ESB OR NOT ESB???

looking good, bro! i just love those build-up threads... can´t wait to see this one finished!

ohhh yeah, we want more, more, more...

Thanks for sharing these! ...and keep them coming....

GREAT FIND! Thanks for sharing!

just checked my e-mails and found it wasn´t krylon it was Rustoleum rattle cans. that´s the website: KLICK! but don´t worry, the rustoleum is also a recommended color for stormtrooper armor and helmets... Mike (TD-1536) used this spraypaints for his amazing TD suit... VISIT MIKES WEBSITE

i have a european adress for rust-oleum rattle cans, i think it was an austrian seller... i´ll have to search in my older e-mails. i´ll let you know...

thats still one of the unsolved mysteries of the original helmets... there are rumors about flaws on the moulds but nothing confirmable! WHO knows??? (grabs popcorn and a coke)

great pic! thanks for sharing matt!

man, that´s waht i call high resolution! great pic, thanks for sharing!!!

second that! this or/and some kind of card board. here is a picture to prove...

great answers! i think Bacta-back-Bacharach wins! @ matt if you don?t mind i?ll pass the next question to Bacta-back-Bacharach, you?re kinda out-off-competition because you?re knowledge of screenused helmets is almost unreachable for other members here...

i tend to call you a winner, but i?ll give others a try too...

how many differences are there between the hero and stunt helmets? please name them also...

it was definatly a belt and here is the picture with a stormtrooper actor sleeping in a corner of a street...

here is what i was able to photoshop...
