I've read on another forum (populated by very knowledgeable Stormtrooper costumers) some sentiments that the AA/SDS Stormtrooper looked either off or distorted, but they did not elaborate, nor could I register to find out why.
Could someone elaborate on the integrity of the AA/SDS compared with actual surviving physical props?
On Jez' site, he compares AA/SDS with a Gino and the Gino appears much smaller. I find this confusing because on
http://www.looksirdroids.com the Gino (or perhaps the most current version) is based on two props. If so, how can two physical props be that much smaller than AA/SDS's molds?

As you can see, Gino's v.2 helmet looks great next to an original screen used helmet.
Now...
The following two shots are courtesy of Jez' site.
Left: AA/SDS. Right: Gino (what version, I don't know.)
"Below is a nice comparison of a number of different helmets from left to right the Inaccurate FX, the Original mould AA/SDS, Gino/CRProps and the GF"
So again, I don't understand. If there are two physical surviving props of roughly similar size and dimensions, and Gino's helmet is an amalgam of those two, then why are AA/SDS helmets larger than those props? And if so, what does that mean in terms of the condition of the mold?
