Well, here is a personal experience.
A personal friend works in LA on special effects and tracked own some armourers used for Hollywood.
I sent an email off requesting prices on some works, basically a Preatorian's Crested helmet and leather cuirass, fully adorned.
When the prices came back, I nearly fell off my chair. Dont get me wrong, these were approximately $5,000 US. The helmets were $2500US, a tad more than the price I have paid for our indian replicas so can you imagine what these producers are being charged when they ask for a quote for some 1500 extras or so..that s BIG money.
Dont get me wrong, the work is FIRST CLASS and look amazing and one day I will invest in it because I think its unbeatable in looks.
Has anyone ever looked up Helmann militaria...his work looks amazing too.
