 Post subject: Original Vader Sculpture ?

I always wondered why we have seen the Plaster Cast of the face plate with David Prowses chest below...In SLs recent interview with Brian M. He stated they made a plaster cast out of the face so the dome could be sculpted on top of it... Makes perfect sense.

Yeah, it would make a sense to make a cast to sculpt the rest on instead of risking damaging the original face sculpt in the process.

Yep, and although some would disagree with me, that Ebay full head casting is not original.

We are talking about the recently auctioned helmet that Vadermania won, right?

I thought we were talking about another faceplate/helmet.

Which one is being discussed the old ebay faceplate with the holes drilled near the teeth or the most recent auction ESB?

Unfortunately I saved the auction photos but not the auction page so I don't know who won it and nothing like it has ever resurfaced either in casting form or full head form.

There's a side view and if you compare that to screen masks there are many things wrong with it....eyebrow curvature, nose line angle, forehead curvature, etc. etc. Plus I discussed it with Muir and he agreed it's not original.
