All this guy was is a human china. He manufactured the suits for the films using other people's molds, one of witch was tragically killed in a car crash before the film was released.
Brian Muir designed the original Stormtrooper armor. Liz Moore designed the helmet. Ainsworth produced what these talented sculptors created. Don’t give Ainsworth any undue credit. He’s a profiteer, not an artist.
UK courts.... ruling means that Ainsworth can continue to make and sell the helmets in the United Kingdom (because they are not copyright-protected in the United Kingdom as “sculptures” within the meaning of the 1988 Act), but not export them to the United States in violation of U.S. copyright law.
1:07 You show Ralph McQuarrie's designs but don't give him any credit! No mention of John Mollo either. All Ainsworth did was mass produce already finished designs. 1:24 Yes it is. Armour for clones, not aliens. White lies indeed...
All you have to do is LOOK at his Stormtrooper armor/helmets and then LOOK at the movie. Very simple. If you aren't blind and just plain stupid, you can clearly see that Ainsworth's suits aren't even close. Rubies Costumes makes a more accurate suit/helmet than this guy. And furthermore, even if he DID have the "original moulds" - what a complete piece of garbage he is to steal his client's designs and sell them as his own. That's like someone who works at Kinko's printing up a bunch of Mona Lisa posters and claiming they painted them. I feel bad for anyone who falls for Ainsworth's lies and buys his garbage suits/helmets.
Have you seen a rubies stormtrooper armour set there not even close to the movies proof of that is the 501st will not approve one. Yes I can see Andrew lied and used other people's work to sell but saying there not movie accurate is bull, there made from replica modules and not the original modules as the og modules fell apart after ESB
these suits are sold by shepperton design and they claim to be the most authentic replicas.... that's a big claim The only real fact is they ARE NOT using real molds from the movies... these costumes are not even close as the real movie suits SDS costumes ARE NOT getting you allowed to join the 501st legion
How much BS can come out of one person's mouth. Derek Mendings did the superman work. The space 1999 creatures were done at Paramount . This guy owned a pond making business and all he did was vac form the helmets NOT the armour which he was paid by the prop department.
@Jules Winnfield He produced the stormtroopers for one movie, ok. He didn't translate himself Ralph's drawings into 3D shapes (as he claims), somebody else came with the design, he just had to vacform it. He is not even making helmets nowdays with the same tools/molds than back in 76 (as he claims), the overall shapes are "there", but the details are off, and the assembly is hideous. Do your research before giving your money to him for a piece of crap (made from lies).

Hello there!!!

I feel bad for you.
This guy did not design the stormtrooper. It's all bull shit.
Who created the stormtrooper amour then?
Liz Moore sculpted the Stormtrooper
Mike Tongue woman's don't count only white male middle aged people
That is my dream job...
these suits are sold by shepperton design and they claim to be the most authentic replicas.... that's a big claim
The only real fact is they ARE NOT using real molds from the movies... these costumes are not even close as the real movie suits
SDS costumes ARE NOT getting you allowed to join the 501st legion
I know he stole others work but
I think their helmet looks pretty accurate. I don't know about the armor tho
Yes they do! There are countless 501 TKs with approved SDS armor.
Stop spreading lies!
He stole molds from trooperexpert and is using his items to make his suits. He claims he did 200 characters. Total bullshit
Hello and good afternoon my name is kev storm trooper, I so love storm troopers awesome .

Impostor
Jules Winnfield Please read the other comments, document yourself online / on the forums, and look for Liz Moore’s work.
