All I can say is im Jealous. The TM has to be the rarest and most expensive and sought after authentic cast out there. Its a freakn cast of a helmet that was actually made by the ESB crew instead of a secret back door gift cast.

Wow thank you so much for your kind words man. I don't know if it's the rarest I'm sure the orginal GS or VP or the direct cast from the Baker mold would be

But the TM is absolutely stunning and I didn't know it is a cast of a cast that was made by the ESB crew wow that lends so much more joy to my helmet. I thought it was a cast of a ESB mold used in production. But knowing they had to turn the ANH to Esb I see the TM was then a ESB helmet made and then casts where made from it now I understand what the TM is thanks Jeremy

Yeah the original TM is a production made helmet and we think it was used for lighting tests. It was painted by the crew and very well done but was super thick. TM then striped the paint to allow full capture of detail in each copy.

Awesome makes my year already to know the TM is even more special than I originally thought rember reading that about the TM on here but for some reason I got it in my head it was only a cast from the production mold

Not actually made by the crew and used in the production as a lighting test helmet and it had paint and everything

Defo the plaque that is going with the helmet in the display case is going to leave people in awe once they read that info thanks Jeremy! [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
