That was great! I read the whole thing in spanish. Maybe there's an english site somewhere?

I want one.

Since most of the prop parts were WWII or East Block milsurp it is not suprising that there is a real world counter part to Darth's helmet. I think it was inspired by the German helmet from WWII and a fireman's helmet with a rear guard section.

I wanted one for my collection, but they went too high ($$$) too fast for me to get one.
