Thanks Chris
We intend this to be a warts and all helmet, our first prototype pulls had details which i didn't expect, like the original you could see marks from the original clay and like the originals each one will have its own little imperfections making them as individual as the original were. for example i've noticed on mine a slight vein under left ear which none of the others have as far as i'm told

This vein also appears to a lesser extent in the prototype but this vein is individual to this helmet!

I can't believe I'm posting about vein's in my helmet, I didn't realize it was that sort of website!!!

I think a little bit of sex wee just came out!

It's great to see that this helmet has webbing on it too. Never expected to see disclosure of the facts on this level. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! :D CAn't wait to see more! I'm getting the same feeling from seeing these pics as I did watching Star Wars as a kid, is that weird!?

Sounds awsome.I`m glad your going for warts n all mate.

Bloody cool Simon! So when can we see the prototype?

This is so amazing. I feel like I am watching history.

We should have some prototype shots on here very soon I'm hoping before the end of the month I want some more professional shots with the ANH helmet and the RS helmet next to each other.
Then the next stage is to start taking orders for the first run.

I'm first in line!!!!

Right behind you Dan , exciting stuff guys , Simon can i ask what is the thickness of the RS helmet ? .

I know I'm not the only one wanting to know this and I know it is crass but what do you think one of these babies will cost us?

I think we're all thinking the same thing.

I AM SO IN FOR THE FIRST RUN!!!!

And I Would certainly consider getting one from the first run! I think that would be the first kit I'd build myself, so that would be exciting

I'm soooooo in too.


Ben

Oh god yeah, first run for this is a wet dream. Count me in.

I can feel the need for a sale section

The First Run will come fully made up with hand painted decals as per original, along with numbered RS Prop Masters custom made Stand.

Our mission is to produce the most accurate helmet for the Star Wars fan base. And as far price goes we want to keep it within a competitive price range, So that you guys will come back for more.
The same can also be said about the suit!

I don't want to discourage you guys, but you better take that mission seriously then.
Fully finished means they have to be bloody good to convince this lot here to drop serious cash. I know a lot here prefer kits, I for one do, so you'll have to impress me now

Well I can tell you that for myself I studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at University and Product Design before that. As for Rob well his work speaks for itself. Check out

I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I know Rob's Fett work (in fact I'm just waiting for some of his stuff to arrive ), and I didn't say I doubt you'll be doing a good job!
I'm just saying right here you're with the most anal detail freaks when it comes to TKs, but I'm sure Rob knows that sort of people from the Boba scene already

Well, if you don't mind me saying so - but decals actually are the first turn-off for me. Only real hand painted details are acceptable for ANH, for me anyways.

But sure, let's wait what you guys come up with.

That's cool

Dont worry guys the L.S.D review committee will let you know our findings Simon just dosnt know about its existance yet .Infact i just thought it up.

On a serious note when i hear the words fully finished,hand painted,stand etc I am adding $$$ to every word.

fantastic news on this project that seems to be picking up pace with every update.

"I feel a great disturbance in the force!"

Like I've said we want to keep the price competitive so that fans can buy from us, we're hoping that buy keeping it competitive this will discourage recasting.
