I seriously wish I had seen this video before doing my GCSE and A level product design technology... So much vacuum forming, so many problems! This is a fantastic tutorial for star wars and general techniques!
Ainsworth is a liar. Brian Muir and the late Liz Moore made the stormtrooper armor. All Ainsworth ever did was run the vacu-forming machine. He also claims to use the original molds, which is also a lie.
Those weren't US Marine helmets, they were US Navy Tanker helmets that were the basis for the Rebel Fleet Trooper and Imperial Gunner (aka Death Star Trooper) helmets. Still, these are amazing.
This is so much I can not fully grasp everything into my head :D You Mister, are a LEGEND! And You made part of our lives a lot more interesting :D I will watch anything from you, and hope to learn a lot.

You mean as a buck? No it should be fine as it's not in the direct heat. The flat plastic you do heat doesn't melt and stick to the buck and to release it you pump it full of air like a balloon
Christian Edwards you can buildt one yourself using a wooden box and a vacuum cleaner i tried it and it work surprisingly well heating the plastic up is a bit of the main problem
Hello budy, how are you? Do you sell the Imperial Gunner's disassembled kit? How much is helmo imperial gunner to deliver in Minden (Nevada) I live in Brazil but I have an address Shipito

If I recall correctly, this guy has quite the bad rep with people in the costuming community regarding statements of "making and owning" the original molds.

Absolutely fascinating video. I never realised how similar all the helmet shapes were.
I actually visited the shop for my birthday when I was young and I still love it. I plan on going again!
Thank you Andy for these videos. Truly love watching these videos during the pandemic, because it gives me something else to think about. Be safe
Never seen it before but i love this documentary. Always wondered where the idea for the rebel helmets from the opening sceen came from. Genious!

Awsome work. I love starwars
Wow how remarkably cool is that awsome
didn't know Eric Clapton was doing starwar helmets
truly a legend in the propworld
So cool! Carved EVA foam never looks as "real" as vacuum formed plastic.
If I were to use an actual m1 helmet, would the heated plastic and vacuum form affect the helmet?

Pretty dam.cool and truly amazing
What are the measurements for the back cowl on the cheese grater/ samurai warrior helmet?
Hello Andrew can I ask how did you get the design of these .

mjwarlock
Were you able to find a way to heat the plastic? And how much did it cost you to make the vacuum form machine?
Use a heatgun, heat evenly.
A halogen room-heater should work ok
Punished Props did a video on vacuuforming if you're interested.
I have a question which buttons did you push?
Edit: and if we had the option to buy it how much is it?
Hello budy, how are you? Do you sell the Imperial Gunner's disassembled kit? How much is helmo imperial gunner to deliver in Minden (Nevada) I live in Brazil but I have an address Shipito
Please make a clone trooper range
"Yes, the tie pilot said it, you've got to give him credit,
For a son of a gun of a gunner was he!"
Sorry. I'll shut up, now! :-D
Amazing. Where can I buy that machine? Hee hee.
Ben Burt could sample those sounds for the new movies.
How much would you be willing to sell the rebel marine helmet? (visor up)
