Hi Guys,
I know before everyone starts there is controversy with SDS etc...... I have heard it all before.
BUT,
I thought you might like to see a Shadow helmet I got from Andrew Ainsworth in about 2004. This to my knowledge is years before any shadow trooper existed in the real form. Way before GL, MR or any licensed TX was available for sale or before any ghetto former had made one.
When I met Andrew and bought one of his early TK lids we got chatting and he told me that he had made a TK lid in black just to see what it looked like. Well, a couple of weeks passed and I couldn't help but think that I had never seen another "Black" Trooper helmet before other than the original Newspaper stories that were written before the films release. SO...... I phoned AA and asked him if he would sell it???? He said yes!
It is featured on Jez's Starwarshelmets web site: http://www.starwarshelmets.com/sds_stormy.htm towards the bottom of the page.....
It originally didn't come with any decals and only had hero lenses..... I have changed the decals a couple of times over the years.....It's now in a box as my wife isn't the biggest SW fan and I have far too much on display..... She is however a very patient woman!
here are a few more pics....
