  1. Just finding out. I was fortunate enough to call him my friend, to be one of the first to see his armor, be there with him as he started and have him in my life. We shared the same eye for detail and got lost in conversation on the details. Terrell was there when I tried and failed at prop making. He stuck to it. He really cared about his craft as well as his customers. We walked the floor of Celebration in Florida and handed out buttons and stickers to armor he recognized. He signed each one he made. We both had moments that weekend where we found ourselves fans of the fans, just being overwhelmed and star struck. We hung out with the stars of the saga, and I really remember how excited he was meeting Brain Muir. He spoke to him on the details of Vader as not only was he a trooper fan, but Vader and Fett as well. He had a way of making you feel special. It was like you were his life long friend. Even though I was an ocean away and we met face to face a few times we would talk like we were next door. As I drifted from the 501st, there was always Terrell, there for a call and we would talk hobby. I was just thinking I needed to call. Then I read the news letter and found my way here. I have a set of his armor still in the box. Now it means so much. I have to get back in the Legion. I have to troop again. For Terrell. Dammit. Really hurting right now.
  2. You all had a great photo op. I can say that the next Celebration we at the SLD will be taking cues from you all. HELL of a great time meeting so many. Looking forward to meeting more at CE2. Yea... I have to get to that one too. Celebrations are just too cool to miss!
  3. Ill be doing many a thing for my podcast that has been on a hiatus... If its one to one, I want to look at it! I cant wait to see all the costumes, all the just... Star Wars Stuff about!
  4. I am getting excited. Geeked. Stoked. Motivated. Restless... However you word it, I cant wait to get on that plane. Grueling trip, jet lag... all aside. Star Wars Celebration 6. 4 Transfers, one train and thousands of miles to travel. I cant wait to shake as many hands as I can. Meet those I have only typed to in the recent past. Drink my quota of beer for the year. ( moderation though, I am a family man...) My last Con was Celebration Japan, and if this is as half as cool... and it will be, I cant wait. To my long time Star Wars friends that I get to hang out with for a week, to the new ones unmet as of yet... I am saying with a loud type... LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED! Post up your hopes, maybe fears, and above all excitement for the show about to happen in a Galaxy not to far away in a near future.... Lets have some fun!
  5. eBay has its up sides. Never had an issue with Sith Armor, nor with Customs Props and those guys. Thing is for plastic costumes SO many versions of the same stuff abound on ebay that its hard to keep up with who is going good work and shipping on time. I don't really like Droopydoos, but he does at least ship on time. Really, doing your home work prior to buy it now is the way to go. Trust me, I learned the same way. Just have to sort the wheat from the chaff.
  6. Japan in the house! Tickets for the grueling oh... 22 hour flight are to be bought today with any luck! Going to the bash, and fully plan on bringing some kind of costume... donno yet though on what. There better be plenty of brewskis in Florida when I land!
  7. What is crazy is I had Arbys and RAM microbrew for my birthday. Stateside for a week! Home now and settling in to life again. Thanks for the wishes you all.
  8. Don't drop it... That peanut butter colored resin shatters. Man, that mold they use is shot. The details of the Master Replicas blaster they recast are pretty soft nowadays...
  9. What is TKC? Sticking to the CRL is a real good bet anyway around. The word "liberal" gets iffy if you are looking for accurate costume replication.
  10. ---------- Just a few I have had over the years... TKs would include... TM, AP, TE, TE2, CAP, ATA, FX, ANHV2, MRCE... I think that is all of em... Vaders... TD, Smiley,DS, Fang, Don Post, GB, JBv1, SPFX, Portumac, MR, Rubies Guards... Don Post, South American Scouts... Rubies and MLC Man... I shoulda kept better records.. LOL
  11. iTunes... HD makes no real difference, but I just season pass em. Loading a little late, but an option.
  12. Toxic layup... Wow. CF uses epoxy resin and well... very hard to do right. Great job to get it looking like one part layup. On the other hand, there are fiberglass weaves that look like carbon for half the cost, as well as half the health hazards. I had thought of doing a Vader in CF before...
  13. The yellowing is on the batch of plastics... Its not really across the board gonna happen. ABS is really the way to go if you are going to be hard on your armor. I loved the ABS FX kit I had,now I wear HIPS. Really its the way you plan on handling your armor is the way it will last. I don't know if I would roll down a hill in either. Really taking care of your armor is the key. Either plastic can be great. Holy crap! 2001 posts!
  14. HOLY CRAP! THIS IS AN AMAZING SET!!! Love my timezone... I get it a day early! Spend the 90 bucks. Get the whole shabang. I just plowed through ANH, Bonus 1 and 2. The OT deletes are flat awesome. WELL worth the coin. I doubt iTunes will have anything.. I don't think you can even get the movies on iTunes. The picture quality is amazing in 1080P, I am floored with the opening of ANH. WOW. Just WOW.
