  1. Yep the guy who built this one is Italian. He's here, he's a member (Pablo something). I remember contacting him to ask if he'd make more, but he said no at the time. I think that if anyone took the time to build these, they'd make lots of money. I'd be buying one for sure immediately. Sigh.
  2. You're right! Dave G, that was. Not Dave M lol (who the heck is Dave M lol). Yes, CRProps. That was it. Lousy mind. Gotten old... (thank you!) EDIT Damn Paul, it's you!!! Hi matey!
  3. Good question. I think it's the same one that was Matt's. Confusing and difficult story, of which I never really got a clue about. Basically, TE sold the molds to this guy and someone else (I think). This was the result. It was also "relic'd" rather properly after some screen used helmet (maybe the same one). To me, it really looks like a real HDPE one. I don't think this plastic is HDPE
  4. Nope. I do have several TEs and knew Matt at one time, I intend to say Dave. The Dave that used to be partner with Gino, old times.
  5. Well, was absent for quite a few months folks (hi everyone!). Back again as yesterday, I finally found (after 5 long years) my original and most loved screen cast helmet, originally made for me by Dave M (I think). I never liked the guy - also a bad dealer - but his work was top notch. Here's a few images of it. The white paint has turned into a sort of creme color. The lid has been kept into a plastic black bag for all of this time, in a tower I have in one of my houses (here's why I never knew I still had it; I had moved from a flat to another house 5 years ago and after the move, I thought it had gotten lost). It is heavy, extremely sturdy - hard, thick plastic - and feels superb. It's the best looking and feeling helmet I ever had (and I have quite a few now). Such sharp details that they may cut through your skin!

  6. 'morning matey Mark. It's a good looking blaster, yes it is. I think what captures us are the aluminum heat vents. I like 'em lots. Mark: please keep me in the loop with your CFO ROTJ armor and helmet, I'm buying when you are ready Happy New Year You!!!!
  7. Why not, Vern? I'm all for it. I am not afraid of scratching it or making it dirty either. So I am the right one right now. But you'll have to educate me. I don't have knowledge at all about this. Nor probably the materials (in the sense that, here in Italy, I am uncertain about availability of what needed). I'm here.
  8. Paul, I am all-ready! Thanks for looking guys Oh and you All Have A Happy New Year
  9. Jost got it. Been after it for a loOong time. And an US friend sold it to me. While I don't like in general ROTJ Troopers - too "washed out" in details, what may happen to you is that when you got your ANH (and maybe ESB) done, you want to go next to another project. And here I am.Naturally it's an MGC sterling, with metal vents and some other resin parts (such as the greeblies).

  10. Hi Stormie, he's done a few "new" things to it, derived from his latest information. I have no idea on what those consisted though. I will PM him telling him you want it like mine. Cheers mate, thanks, Fil!

  11. SoloDallas -

    I need to let Paul know how I want my armor. I want my armor like yours. What exactly did you get from him and how much did he finish.

    Also, is that one of GINO's new HDPE helmets?

    Thanks!
