Billhag Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) My old mate Gary Hailes (89Batman) was sorting through some of his old magazines and he came across a great little article featured in 'Star Wars-The Official Magazine' dated June-July 1997. The article is about how much attention ANH received when it first came out back in 1977 and features some great, if some what dodgy , pictures of original armour used for publicity shots and for an exhibition at the Science Museum. The detail isn’t great but its always bloody nice to see ANY pics of the real thing no matter how bad they are. Enjoy http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/Billhag/StarWarsMagazineJune-July97No4Strai.jpg PS It looks like they used a sandie on at least one of the mannequin’s by the shape of the sniper plate Edited June 29, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 looks like the trooper on the left of obi wan has his belt on way up high like a nerd with suspenders! look at the way the helmets are coming apart. it looks like the faceplates were attached with one screw so that they swivel.

Chunk[501st] Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 NEAT! I always like to look at old pics from the movies. I can't wait for the new Making of the Empire Strikes Back book to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
