“THE SINISTER LOOK...”
The Shadow Stormtrooper Helmet - A unique and striking take on a classic. Although never used in the original film, the Shadow Stormtrooper design has become a popular icon in the universe.
George Lucas had flouted the idea of using the Shadow Trooper as the Tie-Pilot, but Andrew created a unique Tie Pilot character that really did fit the bill and so the Shadow Trooper concept finally made its debut in the 1979 comic strip “Gambler’s World” by Russ Manning.

MIC TIPS
“FUTURISTIC COMMUNICATION...”
"The 'Hovi Mix Pa 2,' also known as Mic Tips, are now 3D printed, meticulously modelled from the original part. Initially, Andrew tried crafting the Mic Tips using vacuum-formed plastic, but they lacked the precision and sharpness he desired. Seeking a more straightforward solution, he visited his favourite greebles shop, the Wheelhouse in Hounslow. There, he stumbled upon an unusual sink cleaning attachment called the Swirlerator, marked with the part number 'Hovi Mix Pa 2.' It turned out to be perfect."
