Guys, I was thinking, maybe it would be an idea to paste any pictures we have
of known and suspected ANH tour and screen suits.
Yes, I think it would be a good opportunity to gather all known pictures and organize them on StarWarsHelmets with dates and appearances, if that is possible.
I've tried to sort out all my pictures, saving location and date as much as possible... but it's difficult and I've long since lost track of where I found them... so I'm basically sitting without the ability of acquiring permission for many of them or being able to acknowledge the source of them to give them proper credit. It's frustrating.
We definitely know of the Chronicles helmet - it is without a doubt the screen used helmet and it is the same that is seen at the Grauman's footprint ceremony. What can be discerned from that is that by that time it has been repainted, but some parts of the paint work is still the original ANH.
So far I've only seen two picture of the other finished helmet, I may remember wrong and there may be more and I'm sure SL can correct this, as he's spent more time searching for it than I have. It is noticeably different from the screen used, when you know what to look for.
And then there is the ESB Movie Poster helmet. It is unconfirmed whether it is one of the four screen casts or if it was cast later from the mold producing the SL & DJ helmets (the reason I put it in the same category as these, is because they share a great deal of structural similarities to each other and I believe it was mentioned that it didn't have cast tabs, same as the SL/DJ.)
But, since I don't know who to contact for permission... how do we go about gathering these together for sorting and categorising on StarWarsHelmets?
