Sweet photos!!!

[superjedi]

Wow! That's a great batch of photos.
They must have had a lot of dry-transfer markings left over and tried to use them all up on this one prop.

When I checked my mailbox it was already too late (it sold in less than an hour), so sorry but I don't have any idea regarding the price... (but since I've bought 2 screen-used patches from them for 500GBP, I guess this one was no less than 3000GBP)

IIRC there were 7 of those helmets on the Nostromo cockpit.... 1 for Dallas, 1 for Ripley, 1 for Lambert, 1 for Kane, 1 for Ash... and 2 more on the opposite side to Ash's working area, you can see them in the scene when they eject Kane's burial shroud and a deleted scene featuring Lambert & Ripley...

Hi all. I stumbled across this forum while searching on Taylor Type E pressure helmets. I am also a collector of Alien props and just picked up a rare flight suit from Alien. You can see it on Yourprops here:-

http://www.yourprops.com/view_item.php?movie_prop=30535

My question is has anyone ever managed to find any helmets or parts for helmets at all? I am guessing not though as they seem rare in their own right. My example is missing the red front piece on the helmet. I don't know whether it ever had it on in the film and has got lost since. From film stills I am guessing it would have been fitted originaly. It would be nice to find one one to complete the display.

Anyway its nice to see some nice pictures of other collections here!

Cheers
Gary

Gary, welcome aboard.
Love the emergency suit you've got, an amazing piece to own.
I think you'll like it here

Hey Gary,

Nice suit and welcome. The Taylor helmets are very hard to come by. If we or someone was able to locate one we could pull a mold and then replicate the helmet with no problem. I just got the visors done and they should be to me soon. I am going to take a stab at this helmet and might just have to scratch build the red port. I hate scratch building. LOL.

But again welcome

Okay just a quick one

we are sure this is the base helmet

Cooper SKB 100 skateboard helmet

Welcome aboard Gary; very nice suit to have in a collection

[andy]

They still make the Cooper SK-100 for a variety of sports. It looks pretty close to it's vintage self. It seems pretty obvious to me that they used it for a base prototype that they vacuum formed over after adding the Mohawk ridge and filling in the gaps. Unless the SKB is that much different.
