- We had the opportunity to do some restoration work on the famous 'Move Along' Helmet from Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope.
This is a small in to our process and the final result.
The fact that Anovos have the official Disney Star Wars license and not these guys is a crime against prop collectors. I have an RS helmet and I can truly say it is a work of art. I actually troop in mine with the 501st Legion and I get constant compliments about the quality from other troopers and the fans I get to meet.
Anovos are recasting/scamming dickwads
I totally agree with you, Anovos are overpriced, take absolutely years , and I mean years to get the goods to the customer even when we have paid thousands sometimes in advance. I don't rate their products in the same league as R S. My biggest mistake was I only found R S recently and wasted my cash on inferior items . Lesson learnt. It's R S every time now
This to me was like watching Indiana Jones giving a lecture on one of his ancient relics from his many quests. Absolutely fantastic.
I hope you see this message gents, you have done superb work. I have owned many many TKs but never a RS and I paid and ordered within this last hour. Born 1972 I never thought I would get close true screen and you gents have got me there, thank you
Send us photos when you have it, we pick the best each month for our hall of fame.
Thank you, I will, I’m a military sculptor and a good friend Phil S always said go RS :-), I did
One of the most iconic Star Wars helmets and you did a great job to bring him to former glory
Fantastic insight into the process - proving once again that RS Prop Masters does incredible work. Thank you.
To think if that ever went to auction today.it would be worth millions in my eyes.but it best stay in your vault.made in the UK.stay in the UK.great video guys.loved it.
Can't believe that helmet is almost 50 years old.
Beautiful! I always thought the original screen used ANH helmets had a nice off White Colour like clotted cream. Great vid 👍
*waves hand in face* . . . You will give me the stormtrooper helmet! Lol
That is awesome! What type of material was the brow trim made from?
As someone who is currently trying to recreate an Anthony forest move along helmet, this was extremely helpful, awesome 👌
Cracking stuff. I was looking forward to see this video, and it didn’t disappoint.
Amazing work👍🏼
Phenomenal work
Incredible!!
Nice to see Becka working hard :)
Fascinating.
wow great video and work guys well done
Nice work. :-)
Just FYI, evidence suggests that the ears were not painted with oxide red primer.
The helmets were constructed minus the ears, primed oxide red, then primed white, ears added, then gloss white added. 👍🏻
Very cool
Great video and nice to handle and restore the original pieces.
WADR, at the end of the video, the white and especially the grey on the ears don't match the colors on the rest of the helmet.
I'm guessing they were supposed to match?
Is that a HK G-36 replica behind Simon hanging on the wall? Looks like the one i had back in my army days...
New subscriber. I saw this video on Facebook, and had no idea this channel existed. What was the original helmet made out of? ABS, or fiberglass? Astonishing work on that piece of history!
The originals were pulled in HDPE, then painted. That’s why Simon’s is green as he took all the paint off before he knew it was an original.
I'm surprised how little sand weathering is on the helmet now. Do you think it was cleaned up after the Tunisia filming to use elsewhere?
It’s likely they were all used multiple times for various shots.
brow is completely different as well. Based on just a little crack next to the respirator, I'm not so sure this is the trooper he thinks it is
Great video :D will we see the origin story of Simon’s helmet/suit ? How did he got it, how you reverse engineered it to make replicas out of it ? :)
Watch this space.
Great work! Here are photos of this helmet and stop that ship at the Christie's auction before they were sold in 2005 - flic.kr/s/aHsjwNMGoR. You can see how bad the damage was on stop that ship to the helmet top. I could never get over how bad the the paint runs are on them!
Awesome work! I see a Boushh mask!!! Is that coming soon or someone else's work?
The Boushh is made by ‘cloth ears’. Go and check them out.
Imagine we can make that helmet to become extremely tough like my motorcycle helmet that can survive many smash from hammer and still doesn't show even a slighest scar and crack
Nice helmets the middle helmet does not have any ears on ?
Stick to the end of the video!
And will you post pics of the restored helmet on your Facebook page ? :)
Nice job. I wonder why the client didn’t get “original stormtrooper” to pull the parts from the original plugs they used in the movie. Nice restore though I look out for some new stuff.
Why haven't you guys said something to the Hasbro team about their black series stormtrooper helmet. Not the sandtrooper, the regular stormtrooper. Crap. Of all things.
Hello and good morning guys can I ask you for help please
This video and title way undersells the item at the center of it, hence the 15,000 views.
I thought this was owned by a guy named Brandon in the USA?
defo not the one from the movie
You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about.
