Awesome to hear, anything like that is so far beyond any of my skills. Thanks for the update.

Well well. So sorry Fireblade it was actually Troopermaster not you. But you guys do have the exact same avatar so easy mistake. Do you forgive me, can we go back to being buddies? Do I "have my facts straight" enough to be spared your wrath? He he he.

Looks great Murray. Do you have any elastic holding the chest and back together? Did you notice any issues with those two pieces?

HA!!!! That is awesome! Sort of weird though. Now I know what happend to my long lost twin brother. After we lost him at the zoo I thought he was gone forever.

Fireblade said it. How are you man! Great to hear that all worked out sort of! Drama, drama, drama. How did that claf peice come out did you do anything to it? It looked sort of wonky.

You suck. I prefer Nick Frost. thanks bunches!!

You , and me=same page. Thanks for the tips everybody I'll keep you in the loop as far as my fixing. it.

Ah so its to go for a more realistic aged look for the helmet. A sort of "this is what it looks like now" thing. Cool.

You think you're confused try sitting in my chair. I out to lunch.

Good God man is that what that is? Holy crap your right! I just got out my good light that's the freakin' seam. Uh....I'm even less happy now. So what do I do sand it down? Cheese on a biscuit truck I see them everywhere now. So I'm either colossally stupid or I'm REALLY used to better quality lids.

Here they be,

Did anybody else get their EFX Empire lids today? Want to compare the "strangeness" of it. There appears to be stickers covering the entire helmet. The stickers appear to be giving the helmet its shine. Anybody know whats up with that? Mine is a bit wonky above the aerators.

That is such a pretty gun. Somewhere around here I have a picture of myself holding one we found on a weapons raid in Mogadishu in 1993. I remember grabbing it out of the pile and thinking "Holy crumb that's a Stormtroopers gun" Dang thing was heavy that's all I remember. Way to go I hope you will keep us up to date on your work. Thanks!

Yea real nice helmets, now I just know how you will react to this, but were there really any biscuit helmets in ROTJ? I remember Matt's logic for it but he was wrong. I checked with Jez and he doesn't think that there were any in that color, that they are simply mistaken for older and yellowed helmets. Wondered what you thought about that. (without attitude of course) Still not really sure myself. The logic was that they were yellow for the death star scenes because of the lights, but then of course all you have to say is the suits were not yellow in New Hope, so....

Well I'm a bit fat, and what I did was actually take a piece of elastic and used velcro to attach one end high on my chest plate and then low on my cod piece. This allowed me plenty of movement while keeping the chest from riding out. I also used the same trick on the back plate this allowed me to keep everything where it needs to be. I'm working on my side plates as we speak. I can show you some shots of how I did it if you like. Not perfect but hey it works for me.

Yea how goes it? since I seem to be Matt let me know how you liked the armor I made for you.

Yea I think its only EIB, but I also think it looks a little better for us beefy troops.

As with all things where there is a market (black though it may be) there will always be snake oil salesmen to take advantage of it. While it is commendable what you guys did, and no offense meant here, it didn't really accomplish much did it? Ebay is about money always has been always will be, so long as he pays his posting fees he's going to get away with it, and if he does get shut down he'll start again under another name. This might be a good time to say something about the wonderful armor from Museum Replicas...oh wait...what is it now 3 years and counting?

I remember when I owned this helmet it was really great. I used to wear it around to Birthday parites, but then one day someone stole it. That's right they came into my space shuttle and took it right off the seat. I was really bummed, but then I heard it was up for auction so I bid on it, alas my bids for my stolen property were refused. It seems these guys don't take space bucks. Just thought I'd have some fun, and helmet drop a bit.

Some moron pushed the wrong button....me.

I wonder if you are in the mood to be pestered yet? After all how much time have you spent trying to get the product that you alreeady paid him for?

Post the e-mail where he says your pissing him off. that's freaking classic, you want your stuff, but your pissing HIM off? Jeez. This has moved from the tragic to the tragically comic.

Wait a minute, there is no way Matt has not sent you guys your stuff. Unless you were all dinks. Were you mean to Matt? You know how he hates pushy customers. I think that he would have just sent you all your money back as I have heard that he does that when he feels your pushy. This is simply strange there must be some logical excuse for all of this. I mean it is simply impossible that he would have stolen all this money from you guys. I mean his best friend says he is a great guy who just doesn't like to have to deal with jerk customers. I'm stumped here guys. <_<
