  1. It is a bit off-topic, but I am wondering, does you guys have any good tips regarding spray painting? I feel I never have control over the spray painting process, as it seems that I always leave some parts without the necessary coverage, making some parts non-glossy - kind of 'sandpaper' like. :(

     

    I've tried to hold the spray can at least 30 cm above the painting area, and I always keep the can in motion to avoid drippings, but sometimes it still does not work that well :S

  2. I can't remember the first time- it may have been Hamleys (a large toy store in London) when David Prowse, in full Vader costume, made a public appearance. I remember being really shocked when he spoke and he didn't sound right!!! I also remember there being a set of armour on display in the Museum of the Moving image in London, sadly that is now closed and I have no idea what they would have done with the armour now, I do remember it had severely yellowed.

     

    Interesting..which year was this - you think it was an original armor? I have yet to see an original ANH armor in person..no matter yellow or not, it's ANH armor!!!!!!!!!! :D

  3. Hi Even Sung!! THose pictures were beautiful!!

     

    I must ask you doing a favor for me, I have forgotten my password and everything over at your forum, and I wanna log in again. Could you use some secret moderator skills to get myself back in again?

     

    I don't know if I should re-register, since I've already used my e-mail for the last register :S

     

    I'll be in Beijing this summer, maybe we can gather some people and meet some day during this summer?

    It would be really great to meet you guys all in person!

  4. The first time I saw people in armor must have been during the premiere showing of episode III in Oslo, Norway. I saw the movie at the cinema called "Colosseum", which is the world's biggest THX certified cinema, it was a blast! Seeing live stormtroopers was indeed a big part of the experience!

     

    I've soon met many of the troopers I saw that night after joining 501st :)

  5. Hi there! Welcome to the FISD forum!

     

    I suggest you take a look at starwarshelmets.com, remember that there are lots of different types of armors out there, and some research on this forum will sure give you some useful tips of how and where to begin.

     

    Remember to take your height,body type and budget in account when considering getting armor. ;)

  6. Hey guys, ive read some of the threads on painting your own boots is this the best thing to do or should i buy the caboots?

     

    Painting your own boots is the most screen accurate option, but the paint will most likely go off after the boots have been used a few times..so painted boots might require a few layers of fresh paint from time to time.

  7. Here's a screen cap of the muzzle flash from the submachine gun used during the shot, plus two captions of the 9mm bullet casing ejected from the Sterling SMG/E-11 from the Stormtroopers in prone shooting stance.

    Terrell...

     

    What all makes the FX inaccurate? I don't have my kit yet, so I wouldn't even know where to begin. Can it be modded?

     

    The FX helmet is based on a fan sculpted mold which is larger than the one used in the movies. What makes it unaccurate is the size and the overall shape of the helmet.
