It appears to be fairly clean, yes. Especially the greeblies.
Between that and the color of the resin used, and that
the accessories are recasts, I know who it is. It's one of those
cases though, where I've been asked to relax so as not to
put a crimp on certain current projects that need to be
completed for the community.
The helmet is in no way a modified copy of my own for three
reasons.
1. They could NOT have restored the dent back to
the original MR Production dent. The Budget FP dent
was made more accurate to resemble ESB and
ROTJ whereas the MR Production was a Pre-Pro 3 dent.
The FP MR Premium uses the MR Prototype dent , because
it is after-all, a refined MR Prototype. And the dent didn't
need as much work.
2. The FP Premium has ear platforms, and
no one in their right mind would have shaved
them off, especially not in the exacting pattern
that is evident on the MR Production. And this
shatters any idea of the ears being shaved off
of the FP MR Budget because there wouldn't
have been the same pattern left behind resembling
the MR Production. It would have left gaping holes
that would have to be custom rebuilt from scratch.
3. The guy that produces them, was producing
them as far back as late 2008 and early 2009
on the QT. The FP MR Line wasn't introduced
until the tip end of 2009 through 2010 and current.
Hope that helps a little. It's way too complex that it even
exhausts me trying to keep up with it all

Ok I guess youd know your own stuff ,there is no 2 ways that its origins are FP
and now looking at it again I see it does look the part,
Is it possaible its one of your casts that has just had a few mods
done to it , not a recast of one of yours , the only reason I say this is you donr often see them use clear resins on recasts,
and it is a pretty clean casting ,
