I think I prefer the 1977 Halloween mask - the box is pretty cool

Sorry old link, like Darktrooper says:

Here she blows (Just need to put the lens strip in and get the line around the grey bit on the ears done)
I used Halfords car repair mesh for the mesh in the mictips - look quite good
-
This ones only $250 with helmet... obviously a recast, any clues on origin? Looks like a TE helmet to me.

My VT Lid came out quite nice, but needed quite a bit of work on it

Product #US161 or US52 for the brow and SWR150 for the neck. These are screen accurate.

I'm thinking of ATA.... need to save save save

Pictures to follow btw

heh Joe,
There was talk of a new one:
http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=6021
Looks like it could be sweet, but the issue appears to be that people would recast it after all the hard work they have to put in to make the molds and fix it....

By "Tupperware armor" he is referring to "TupperwareTK", a.k.a. Deckard. He's a reseller of AM (and formerly FX) armor, one of most reputable around.
The "TK" designator comes from the scene in ANH where the officer in charge of the docking bay just after the Millenium Falcon was seized and searched is quoted as saying over the comlink to one of the stormtrooper guards "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?" I don't really think it stands for anything in particular.
hmmmmmmm.... so tupperware armour is basically FX recast.. anygood, or would you say a TE or AP would be better?

As stukatrooper would say, set those ears at mroe of an angle to get thescreen used look, and reduce the gaps
-
heh Nathan,
I would go along the route advised by Tom.
I think you appear to have set the brow a little low, and need to raise it, here is a lid I have been working on (Which btw I hashed up and had to adjust it)
It also looks as though you may of recessed the front plate a little, so I would think about taking it a apart and pushing this so that it touches the cap'n'back:
i.e. from this
To this

What exactly is PT Armour?
£575 isnt that dear, but I am dubious to the origins and the quality of the pull.
-
I have to ask, what is Tupperware armour?
Also, and please, no standing, pointing and laughing, what does TK stand for? been bugging me for a while
-
Cheers Tom,
Always been a massive help to me

I have a copy of get data recovery you can use to get your stuff back if you want?
I would recommend using Ubuntu or Windows 7 (Turn off all the Aero stuff and it'll fly) on anything that old
-
BTW the left ear looks like it protrudes a lot more than the right, but trust me, thats the camera angle, as the face plate is real wonky, they are exactly the same, I am so anal I used a micrometer to measure them
-
Well all,
I'm ready for the cascade, but, I tore my VT apart. Filled the fitting hole with epoxy putty, and repositioned the face plate & ears, I had to trim more off the cap n back but who cares. I then took 4-5 cuts with T-Cut to take out the scratches, and polished this baby up, its now as shiney as the most shiney shiney thing you've ever seen shine
I also applied the neck trim . I applied the decals, and just need to add the lenses, mic tips and the frown mesh, and voila
Anyone got any tips for using the strip of green plastic I was provided (Until I get the mullah for decent lenses)?
-
heh Stuka,
The ears are on pretty much at -35 degrees of straight down on both sides, anymore and they wouldnt cover where the cap'n'back meets the front plate (In fact they are both resting on the seam).
The split where the fold in the ABS was is also visible, so I am think, fill the gaps with decorators chaulk and spray it
I like it, however the boo boo with the 1st ear I put on has caused the epoxy putty to shatter as it had 2 holes drilled side by side...
I have taken this out and I am gonna set it back up and drill it properly.I'll post piccies when done. I didnt have this much trouble with my crappy fibreglass lid i got for £25
This VT lid is wayyyyy wonky Stephen
As far as the gaps you now have,its down to your positioning not your trimming.What did Dr stuka say about NOT putting the ears straight? if you had or are going to position the ears at more of an angle then the gap will be greatly reduced.
Is it me, or has someone got the sticker on back to front!
