Fan-Made Stormtrooper Armor |
Laws Archive |
|
Based on the same moulds that a number of the
other ANH trooper helmets (and armor) have derived, the Laws Archive is
another addition to the ranks of quality armor and helmet producer. Laws
previously used to vac form a number of the different TE helmets so he knows
his way around thermo-plastics! |

Note that these two photos from Firebladejedi
above feature the LA Helmet - along with TM Armor. For more pics of the TM
armor (which also comes with its own helmet)
then click here. |

These great shots sent to me by FireBladeJedi
who reviews this helmet... These latest Laws helmets are made from the
moulds taken off the "Set for Stun" (aka "The Dave M" helmet). They look
quite different from the vast majority of Stormtrooper helmets which are all
cast off the "Brian R" helmet. |
|
So in other words these helmets are from a different "master" helmet,
hence they look slightly different from the GF, TE, GINO, A helmets which
all derive from "Brian R's" helmet

Firebladejedi adds....These newer pulls are
made from thinner ABS Plastic than other makes, which really giver great
details that are sharper than most other helmets. Some people think that Dan
has overly cleaned up the moulds, but i think these helmets look great. They
are nice and light weight also and are great for trooping. |
|
However, they are fairly tricky to build maybe because they are so
thin, but are very satisfying to complete!

Our thanks to Firebladejedi for his ANH review. He's also made one up into
an ESB style helmet, using a set of Mike/ TK4510's excellent decals and
Keith's equally superb replica "Hovi mix" mic tips. |
|
As you can see apart from the obvious black
frown and decals, the ESB helmets (which remember were originally just
re-used ANH helmets) had the eyes trimmed slightly wider, by just trimming
the plastic back a touch. For more information on the

Another really nice helmet |
