  1. I have already verified this with TE2 himself. The forehead chips were present in the TE2 molds when they were recieved by TE2. Thus the TE helmet CAP originally recasted was from the TE2 molds before the molds became the property of TE2.

     

    Yes the mould damage was there, you are correct! The mould damage was sustained when it was in Gino's possesion - or when it was sent back to Matt. However as far as I'm aware no more bumpy helmets were made from this mould after the fact, that is until it was purchased by TE2. I have never once seen a TE with this feature... I could be wrong I supose. To be fair I shall ask Matt next time I get the chance.

  2. Hey Paul,

     

    I used Dulux white house paint on the ones I made. The type that has a measure of latex in it. Just brush it on with a sponge brush and it will go on smooth as, and is flexible enough for wearing the hand backs on troops/filming or what have you. Of couse if you double over the hand back, it will strech the paint a bit too much causing cracks. But that is to be expected.

     

    Hope that helps

  3. OK things are getting a little tight for me right now so I'm forced to sell a couple of my favorites :(

     

    First up is my GH ANH helmet. Its in its beautiful raw kit form, exactly as it was directly from the man himself. I'm looking for $450-$500 Plus shipping on this one. Sorry I thought I had a pic of the helmet aswell but I don't. I can garantee it is a flawless pull in raw form. Same as the others on Jez's site

  4. The helmet was auctioned off @ Christies in 95. It was listed as a promotional helmet used for the Empire Strikes Back. As we know the ESB helmets were restored ANH. This one looks to be done up rather badly, and has had new ears (or very damaged/warped?) botched together then added. The faceplate and back/cap look original to me. Replicas of this kind were not around back then. There was the Joiner (fibreglass) and the AA "proto" helmets. And this is neither.

     

    There is no doubt in my mind that the lenses were green.
