Title: interest thread: death squad commader helmets
Post by: dirty old ralph on September 18, 2009, 12:56:51 PM: Well, since we are going to do the rebel fleet trooper helmets and all those variations of them, I said to myself.. SELF! Make the Death Squad helmet! There will be pics posted shortly after I complete the rebel fleet trooper helmet so as to get you all excited for this helmet. I dont know a price yet, but these will be big helmets, and require a ton more work than the rebel helmets do. I want to keep the prices as low as possible so gotta bear with me!

I would say the prototype in 2 weeks time!

I ask because I'm not familiar with that term. Just curious which helmet this is....

Post by: Hoot on September 18, 2009, 03:42:12 PM: I am definately intrested if the helmet is, what Jabbasdead is showing. One of the uniforms, I want to work on, is the Death Star Trooper.

Update:

Starwars.com (http://www.starwars.com/databank/organization/imperialnavytrooper/index.html) (<-Link) has the real information on the commander.

Sorry! I am old school. Yes, the imperial controller helmet with the swoop back. It is worn with the imperial officers outfit.. Watch ESB.. they take away the body of Capt Needa and in SW they escort Vader to go and see Leia in her cell.

I just remembered I have pictures, from the SW Concert, of the helmet. Am I to late, if anyone is intrested?
