Smitty

Used the spot putty glaze and 400 grit sand paper today to fix the brow chips.

the best part is as you can see from the last pic, its wearable right out of the box! The only reason stormtroopers had faceplates was to hide the cheezy grin that is induced when the helmet goes on your head.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It came today! Building pics coming soon, in the meantime here's what all I got today! Excellent shipping and an awesome seller. The macadamia nuts were delicious!

Basically you just host a game call it something like FISD clan and password it. Only those from the forum will know the password and we'll all be killing familiar faces and not have to worry about getting smoked by a 12 year old singaporean. I am almost positive that only like platforms can join up so xbox vs PC wouldnt work.

I wouldnt know what to do about that. I got SW best of PC and it came with EAW, KOTOR, BF I, RC and DF2 I think (its the first person shooter with Kyle Katarn) Great package for the price. Maybe try to uninstall then re-install?

I go by Smitty on BF I. I was thinking maybe setting up a password server and just post the password in here. It would be like a little FISD thing or something

I do all my gaming on PC.

Anyone here ever online game with Empire at War, Battlefront I or Republic Commando? I have those 3 and I grow weary of decimating the computer AI and getting destroyed by the hard core gamers that you usually have online. Looking for people more my speed

I dont believe the AP bells are swooped. Not sure about the TE2 armor (Guns any input?) TM bells maybe?

I hate to say it again but, man that is one ugly helmet.

Yeah its what I originally thought. Anyone seen FX shoulder bells swapped out with bells from another kit like AP or TE or something of that nature?

So are these pics of FX armor with swapped out shoulder bells from a ANH suit or modified FX shoulder bells?

So there are pre-existing dimples in the recessed chin section from the originals screwholes? so that means you dont have to worry about making sure you drill into the faceplate in the right spot. Am I reading you right on this? Also what is the official definition of "wonky"? so far as I can tell it has something to do with mimicking the asymmetricalness nature of the screen used helmets. Once again, great looking helmet and excellent tutorial.

I use gmail (googlemail) and my membership confirmation was intercepted by the spam snagger as well. Took me 3 days to figure it out. No problems since. My PM notifications navigate my email server just fine.

Man this is really awesome. I cant wait till my helmet gets here...That looks phenominal!

Oasis Avenged Sevenfold Iron Maiden Ozzy Slipknot Staind Soundgarden Tool George Clinton L7 Old Skool Pumpkins Ice Cube UGK 8Ball Sountrack to a Beating ....really I could go on for hours. I sorely miss the Buzz out of Atlanta and FM99 out of Virginia Beach. I made the mistake of moving to Alabama, home of Southern Rock and Country Music. Last minute add....30 seconds to Mars

Well I my goal is to strive to be what Lucas had intended rather than screen accurate. For example a near screen accurate helmet that has been dressed up a bit with just a pinch more symmetricalness (is that even a word) is ideal for me. I wanna look good at all angles and I would never wear a bicep backwards...unless alcohol was involved then all bets are off.

That thing is looking dead sexy!!! I get to finally pay Guns for mine tomorrow! Get that shipping container ready my man!!!...no wait...its after midnight...its TODAY....sorry...I'm a little pumped about this.

Well for starters the 2 closest helmets to the screen are TE's and Gino's. Both claim to be descendants of 2 original screen used helmets. You can't find a better pedigree than that. TE made his helmets readily available and Gino didnt. I believe that accounts for the difference in price. Metaphor time A man makes a renowned superb sportscar and releases 1000 of them in the color red for $250,000. He also makes a single one in black. The black one sells for $500,000 because of its uniqueness.

Thats the first thing that went thru my head when I saw the one on ebay.

Excellent work Paul. You are truly a master at what you do!

OK that was the coolest thing Ive seen on ebay until this. Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

He also has listed a smooth stunt and a hero helmet. They look really nice too. (view sellers other items)

Thats what I thought too. If you read all the fine print though he has done his best to discourage recasting such as coating the inside of the helmet with a reasonably thick layer of clear epoxy and welded the nuts and bolts in to prevent disassembly. Pretty smart if you ask me. I put it in my watch list. I'm very interested to know what this thing moves for. He even made it possible for RPF members to arrange 2 payments...guess he doesn't like us as much
