I've always wondered: if Stormtrooper helmets were real (well, of course they're "real", but you know what i mean), what they would look like on the inside, and the kind of electronics and gadgets they would actually have.
So, I took my eFX helmet and made it "functional" with a voice amp, fan, and amplified external audio pickups to give you that truly enhanced Stormtrooper hearing - in stereo! The real test however, was not only to stuff all the electronics inside and leave enough room for a head, but make everything look clean and neat with no glue, tape or other telltale signs of kitchen junk drawer engineering showing anywhere. Simply put, I wanted it to look awesome.
And this is what I came up with…
