| Highlights | Long protective back scoop.‘WATCH OUT - ITS COMING FROM ALL SIDES’ The sweeping long back scoop formed extended protection over the back of the head. The helmet back scoop was made from Light Grey ABS by using a free formed parabolic shape that Andrew manipulated on the vacuum forming machine. Since this was a natural design produced using only atmospheric pressure, the dimensional accuracy was unsurpassed. Front reinforcing cap. The front half of the helmet has an extra moulded reinforcing cap, a quadrant trimmed from the free formed shape. The concept being that extra forehead protection could diverting Laser attacks more effectively. Front Visor - Up Position.‘GET A FIX ON THE ENEMY’ The visor on this helmet is in the up position for the best vision. The visor was made from translucent grey Acrylic and swung upwards over the forehead cap. These Rebel Troops were on the front line and fought in the opening scene of ANH against the dreaded Stormtroopers. Andrew made 40 of these characters. Ear communication.‘COPY THAT’ On the left side of the helmet, the communication pod with antennae is positioned.It was a common feature with most of Andrew’s helmets, that most of them had communication earpieces of one sort or another. |
