TK-1287

Wow, USA to Australia in a week? I think they took longer to get to me, and I'm only in Las Vegas!

That's a great looking suit of armour! I hope you finish it in time to get that TKID. Just out of curiosity, what is the number?

I actually like the way the armour is asymmetrical. This goes the same with every costume in the movie, I hate the ROTS Vader Helmet because I think it has no character. On my ESB Boba Fett, my T-Visor has the wavy brow and I wear my kneepads upside down. When I get ahold of my AP Stormtrooper, I'm going to make it ESB Elite, I like how the decals are cheaply painted on and aren't at all even, I think it gives that "used" look to the helmet.

I'll be going for ESB Elite as soon as I get ahold of a new AP suit

Probably the best idea, since I won't have any idea what will fit this helmet. Does anyone recognize the helmet's origin?

Naw, I have no idea the origin of this helmet. I know that someone here in Vegas has the molds to it. He claims it came directly from a movie helmet. Which that's stretching it. I'm sure it has origins to an original helmet, but not a direct cast.

What would you recommend? I know decals aren't that much money.

I might have gotten the two types of helmets mixed up. I shall amend my posts and PM a moderator to fix the title. Thanks for the heads up

Hey everybody. Earlier today I got my hands on a resin STUNT Stormtrooper helmet sold to me by a member of my garrison here in Las Vegas. I took some pictures as they were when I got it home, and got to sanding right away! The guy who sold it to me had originally planned to make it a Sandtrooper, but clean white troopers are the only way to go! I'm sure I'll just go with painting it ANH style, the grey teeth just really bring out the overall look to any Stormtrooper helmet in my opinion. Right now I have an FX Stormtrooper suit, and rather than replace the helmet and have an inaccurate suit, I plan to sell this resin helmet once it's all done to fund an AP suit. Here are some pictures of the helmet as it was 3-5 hours ago

Dateline NBC with Chris Hanson did a story on those kind of frauds a while back.

I'm not quite sure what got me into the TK interest. I wanted a 2nd costume, and you told me I'm the right height for the TK, weight-wise? Hah, the suit fits me skin tight! 120lbs! Hah. I then started to think, "How can I call myself a true member of the 501st if I were not a Stormtrooper?" Andy TK-1287
