Yea that lol ^^^^^^^^

I think it was gino himself who said he made duplicates of the originals then damaged them and sent them back to T*E who sold them i beleive to TE2 ...so infact TE2 has the "touched the insides of a screen used helmet" molds even if they were damaged they have the lineage.
-
Other than TM, what isn't a recast?
I think everybody needs to just shut up and wear their armor. There are so many other dead horses we could be beating as this one has had enuff.
I agree with Smitty on this last part....
From what i can figure out TE2 owns the original molds made and the gino are duplicates(recasts) made during the strange dealings between these people, so the gino ANH are not the "touched the inside of a screen used" as he claims (still) but are permitted recasts (would he still have permission now?).

No but I can move like this
we have a winner lol

You didnt get one of those voo voo zellars to make the flash hider from did you
looks great ghosty , a very fine job there
lol noooooo its the neck of a plastic bottle (flavoured water if i remember right)

blaster plans come from these these guns in the pics are call stens they where airdropped to the citizens of England to fight off the Germans in ww2
stens ???, airdropped into england ???? ill have what hes having
they are British made Sterling smg's totally different to a sten, the only resemblance is the round barrel shroud and side magazine. -
Thanks for the kind words, i know its not perfect but i try to build on a budget with readily available materials (a lot of them found whilst walking the dog).
I took 7 pictures of the bipod and only one came out ok... bad light and lots of black paint really doesent help so heres the best pic i could get
most of the bipod is made from the same tubing with a bit of epoxy putty filler, some rivets and the nuts in the ends of the short tube nearest the barrel are wheel bearing nuts fron a bicycle.
Oh and the muzzle is the neck of a plastic bottle with some epoxy putty shaped/sanded (the cap of the bottle fitted perfectly into the pipe i used for the barrel).
-
OK... heres the barrel stuff i missed : the main barrel is 32mm pvc waste pipe which is actually 36mm? (same pipe i used for my E11) it has an inner barrel made from the kind of tube you would see holding a shower curtain up, the front sight is a bicycle pump bracket that i chopped about and theres a few bits of alloy and 2 part epoxy putty in there.
The bipod is made from the same bar as the inner barrel that has been hammered into an oval shape then one side ground off to create the oval shape then i simply hammered the feet to the right angle, for the joints/mounting parts on the barrel i used some of the same waste pipe which i cut and spliced sections into to make the right size to go over the main barrel.
The muzzle you will have to wait for
-
He he he ... yea i deliberately missed out the muzzle/flash hider as i wanted to see if anyone could guess what its made from, o heres a pic of just that..
i will be posting more pics soon, as i am currently working on the weathering.
-
Nearly there...
-
or get the UK guys to send them ... they are everywhere here and cheap too.
-
I used to work at a paintball site and for the goggles/masks there we used calotherm, caloclear spray, ----- this stuff really worked there so i dont see why it wouldnt work on trooper lenses... might still have some somewhere i should see if i can find it and do a test
-
Has to be the "move along" scene i was only little when i first saw it and back then they were all stormtroopers not sandtrooper & stormtroopers
-
Im sure people would really appreciate that tango'd there seems to be a lack of plans around for this excellent blaster
Hey tango'd mate do you remember the E11 thread on the RPF i said i was gonna try to do this for £20 well its looking more like £10 at the most he he
-
UPDATE: band is now fitted on the stock and has been painted, the blaster body is now in its primer stages and i think its starting to look ok...slow progress so far but it has cost very little (£2 so far with the parts left from my E11 build)
heres a pic with the cocking lever attached:
-
Looking good but you have gone the long route here the pipe blaster is much much easier and does take less work, i salute your patience with the hasbro and undertaking all this work to make it look good.
-
OK, am I really as stupid as I feel or is it really this difficult to order this???
ive never had any issues with buying from doopys.... but i am in the uk.
If it's a pain to order maybe you could get a uk member to buy it and ship it over to you.

Who found the part and didn't get paid? As far as the reward thing goes, think about it for a sec. Why would you expect someone to share something he has basically just 'paid' for? It was up to him to share the info if he wanted to. I felt his query was misinterpreted and everyone joined in in trying to find the part. Heck, even I did and was bummed when he said he found it but I didn't think that he was required to share what he found.
No hes not obligated to share info... but i thought that is what this community is based on.. well maybe just here on the FISD! as for the offers to find parts i have been told that someone found the part and told him .. he then claimed to have found the exact part he was looking for and that noone would get the "reward" the part turned out ot be the one found by another member, or very close to it which suggests to me that the member pointed him in the right direction.

-
Well deserved... congratulations
-
Perhaps this fella has gone and got in touch with his inner nerd and wanted to share it with the costuming community at large. I hope he realizes that he only has friends to gain. Much more so than locking away his builds and treating them as "my precious".
Sorry Troy but.... hahahahahahahhahahahhaaha and monkeys might fly outta my butt! this is the man who offers "rewards" to anyone who finds original parts then keeps the info to himself and says he found the item on his own so he doesent have to pay up on whatever he offered.

Another one who uses the 501'st name when selling armour!
armour looks ok -
I too believe that leopards can't change their spots.
Smally
I think theres more chance of a leopard changing to pink stripes with green spots than Gino openly offering something... he must be up to something the man does nothing for the good of anyone but himself

Dont know about phones but when my g/f's laptop died i pulled the speakers from that, quite small too... still gotta test them to see how they sound tho
