I know that it's hard to see someone else play Face other then Dirk.....But if you look at Bradley Cooper's (the new face for Face) acting style, he has that same aire about him as Benedict. All I know is the A-team movie is either going to be, a really good film or a really bad film..........

Hey Mark, Seven & 1/4 inches is the normal size.

Hey Jon, The easiest way to post pics on here is to use Photobucket.com and upload your pics there. Then copy the direct link from Photobucket. When you start your post, there are little tabs at the top left side starting with the bold tab, it will be the seventh tab over. If you put our mouse on it, it will say insert image. Click on that tab. It will have a pop up box that says "Please enter URL for this image". Now paste that direct link that you copied from Photobucket and click on OK and that is all you need to do. One TIP, when you are posting pics, preview the post before adding your post to the forum, so you can do any corrections and preview how the pics are going to look. If you have any trouble. just yell!!

If anyone would love to see different takes on the Saga, especially prequels, there is a whole world of fan edits. You can download them for free and there are some truly amazing re-edits of the entire Saga. If you go to: fanedit.org you will find a ton of these edits, not only for Star Wars, but other movies, like the Terminator series, Superman, Batman, Inidana Jones, just about any top movies that has ever been done has a fanedit version. These are free.. LINK: http://fanedit.org/?s=star+wars

I know we are all Star Wars Fans or we would not be discussing and improving armor and costumes, so we can be a part of the adventure all the time. I thought it would be a fun thing for anyone who wanted, to say what their first or favorite memory of seeing the Star Wars Saga's and how you rank the episodes. Here are my first memories: I have been a true fan of Stars Wars every since my parents took me to see episode 4, A New Hope. But, at that time it was not known as episode 4 A New Hope, it was just known as Star Wars. I was 3 years old, yes 3 year old when this epic adventure blasted on the movie screens for the first time. I have had numerous arguments with other fans who do not believe the age I was and actually went to the theatre to see this. And, I probably would not have, because my parents were extremely busy at that time starting up their fledging business. If it had not been for one of the employees at the business, who had recently seen Star Wars and had told my parents that he knew that my sister and I would truly enjoy this epic adventure, I probably would not have seen it at that time. I remember him telling me about the characters, creatures and exciting space battles. I also remember standing in line, which for a kid my age, seemed like days, and finally was in the jammed packed theatre. As I look back now, it was more than well worth it. If that employee had not pestered my parents into taking my sister and I to see the movie, I probably would not have seen Star Wars until I was a few years older. I don't know where that employee is today, but if I knew where he was, I would shake his hand and say THANK YOU!! I can still remember seeing the scroll run up the screen and the large star destroyer coming on screen and continuing on and on. I still have bits and pieces of that night in my memory and after the movie ended I remember begging my mom and dad "can we see it again, right now, can we see it again"? I remember them telling me they were not going to stand in line for hours to get tickets, but would bring me back again. And, they did bring me back again and again. A few years later, I remeber doing the same thing forThe Empire Strikes Back and 6 years after seeing Star Wars for the very first time doing the same thing for Return of The Jedi. So my favorite episode of the Star Wars Saga's is: Star Wars - The theatrical edition, and The Empire Strikes Back - "Dead Even", can't choose one over the other. Return of The Jedi - simply because I enjoy the characters and the scenes about Jabba The Hutt's palace and Tatooine. Also the battle between Luke and Darth Vader, with Luke trying to find the good in his father. When it comes to the prequels, I did sit in line for days to get a ticket for each and everyone of them. I was hoping to have the same experience with the prequels that I did with the original Triology. I don't have a problem enough that I totally hate the prequels. I just felt that George Lucas did not do justice. There was too much CG in the movies and too much going back to Tatooine. There is a whole universe that he could have used but he kept going back to Tatooine, which made it not seem so special. He missed an been much older, maybe about Lukes age, 18 or 19. That would have made more sense when Anakin was brought before the council at 18 or 19 and Yoda stated that Anakin was too old to star tthe training. That would have given Anakin a reason why he was more reckless because he got a crash course in the Jedi skills. And, of course Jar Jar Binks (I have no words for this fiasco). Not making the mystery for the audience of Palpatine being Darth Sidious. It could have been done! Very poor acting by Hayden Christensen and made Anakin a "whiner". Did not need the midiclorians! I felt the force should have been more along the lines of a Spriitural connection/belief, not a bunch of bugs in your blood. I could keep going on about the bad parts of the prequels, but I would be here all day. I prefer to watch some of the fanedits of the prequels, because they have cut out some of the bad and non-needed stuff to the movies. A couple of things that I really liked about the prequels are Clone Troopers and Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi, I think for the most he did the part justice. So that is whyI have to put the prequels "dead even" to one another. I could not pick one over the other. Don't even get me started on the special editions!!!!! But I have to say this one thing, Han shoots first and only Han!!!

Congrats Alex!!! Info and lots of pic Please!!!!

STAY AWAY!!!! WARNING!!!! STAY AWAY!!!! Over priced, bad quailty, Look into ATA, TM, AP, TE2 armor, one these will get you where you want to be

Congrats Jon!!!! I know you felt like a kid at Christmas when you got that BIG brown box!!!!! The TE is the same as TE2 just new owner and the ATA is from CAP/WEST and TE2 parts....... So when you get together with the guy that has the TE armor, take a lot of HD pics of his suit to use as a guide. And write down any info that he tell ya! When you are ready to start you build, make you a check list to work from. Have all the tools you will need. Take your time, do not rush you build. Have good place to work in (lots of room and good lighting) Take lots of pics and have fun man!!!! Tom

Hey Will, yes you do need to put strip on it. Keep up the good work man!

Hey all! I just thought that it would be cool to take a poll on the different versions of armor, and see what is the most popular.....This is not about the maker of your armor, but the Style..... Do not get angry if I did not list a style of armor. The Polls software would only allow me to ask three different questions with only 20 options per question and no more. So if you have an armor style that is not listed, just upload some pics of it and tell us about it. Since the Poll would allow me to ask only three questions, I had to make Four different polls to be able to get all the questions posted!!! SO look for the other 3 polls post names ( Stunt Helmet Poll), (Hero Helmet Poll), (How Many Helmets Do You Have? Poll)

Hey all! I just thought that it would be cool to take a poll on the Hero Helmet, only, (no stunts) and see how many are out there ..... The Polls software would only allow me to ask three different questions with only 20 options per question and no more !!!!! Here are the other questions for the Hero Poll that the poll software parameters would not let me ask: Do you run fans? Yes? No? If yes to fans, how many? One fan? Two fans? Three fans? more than three fans? Which Hovi do you use? Regular Hovi Mic Tips? Yes? No? Hovi with the mini speakers built in? Yes? No? Is your Brow and neck trim accurate? Yes? No? I have no idea? Since the Poll would allow me to ask only three questions, I had to make Four different polls to be able to get all the questions postedl!!! SO look for the other 3 polls post names ( Stunt Helmet Poll), (How Many Helmets Do You Have? Poll) (What Versions Of Armor Do You Have? Poll)

Hi Rob, Pictures linked from a site such as Photobucket or Flickr is the best way to go. Cheers, Tom

I don't think it would wearable and or bearable... Though it would be great for display, like the 3 piece reveal Darth Vader helmet from ROTJ and the ROTS !!!! ------------ ROTJ ----------- ROTJ ------------ ROTS

Don't forget about the ears ridges and screws ....

Very cool!!!

If you are going to modfy your MRCE, to improve the look of the bucket, you might change the total ears out and not just modify them. I think it looks more authentic . You can do it here is a good tutorial: ----- and you might wanna look at this too: -----

Hey Will, Are you doing the Lite AM Kit?? If so, what helmet are you using??

Hey Rolf, looking Top Notch all the way!! Tom

I want to wish Tony (T Guns) the very best in his new chapter in life!!!!!!!!!!! I know when I say this, that all of us on the FISD thank you for your efforts as Provost Marshall. Congratulations Brian, on joining the FISD staff. I am going to quote an old boss of mine, "enough with the standing around partying, now get to work"!!!

With Cannell who is the same person who created the TV show producing the movie, hopefully it will have the same flavor. Liam Neeson is an outstanding actor. He should do justice to the part. And I WILL GO SEE THIS MOVIE OR ANY MOVIE, JUST TO SEE JESSICA BEIL!!!!
