    Thanks, Bill.

    Seriously tho I really appreciate it, & tho I've only recently signed up if I can return the favour & help out in any way, please let me know.

     

    Cheers again!! :)

    I haven't been a member of this forum for long, so I apologize in advance for breaking any protocols.

     

    It's my little boy's 5th birthday party on 9th Oct & wondered what is the procedure for requesting an appearance? I had submitted a request to the 501st, who very politely declined explaining they are unable to attend all of the incredible amount of requests they get. But I wondered if it'd be out of order to ask local members of this site? :unsure:

    Once again, I apologise if my query is out of order or I'm breaking any rules.

     

    Cheers.

    Sounds like you have a nice SW replica collection.

     

    My opinion about Full TK vs. .45 scale, there's no contest, Full TK! :dancing-trooper: but I always say, go big or go home.

     

    BTW, your pic of your SDS lid was not working :( so I was able to copy and paste it into the browser and remove the bad was able to re-post it, so everyone could see it. Nice SDS TK lid :smiley-sw013:

     

    It is in the next post below:

     

    Thanks Rogue... I realised what I'd done wrong after reading your post. Fixed now, but thank-you again!

     

    My wife got me into collecting the Koto figures after she bought me the lid - it looked lonely in the cabinet on it's own so the 3 Koto Sandtrooper variants were bought to keep it company & the collection just grew from there. I even had the full-scale MR Mace Windu & Yoda lightsabres displayed with their Koto figures. Reducing the collection due to space, so sticking to collecting Imperial/Dark Side Koto & Stormtrooper kit.

     

    My original idea was to distress a V.1 & V.2 Clone helmet, to show the evolution of the Stormtrooper. But then I thought "I'll need a Jango Fett helmet, too... plus a Boba Fett to show the evolution of THAT helmet!". LOL. Space is too limited to display 5 helmets so I thought I'd complete a full armour than repeat different versions of the same, & .45 scale would fit nicely in the cabinet. But I think I'll do a full-size E-11 blaster first as it'd go nicely with the lid, & give me the chance to see how I get on in the self-build stakes!

    It'd be great to do a complete full-size. I really admire the charity-work the 501st, etc, do & while I do some charity fundraising for Help for Heroes & The Jennifer Trust, I'd like to do more. Plus it's a great excuse to persuade the wife to ignore the white armour in the corner!! LOL.

    I'd definitely do it when funds allow - another reason to sell the TIE Pilot lid, Anakin & Yoda lightsabres... I'm kinda talking myself into doing this, aren't I!!?? :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the welcome!

     

    I'll get some pics of the SDS helmet up tomorrow, probably. The wife really spoiled me when she bought it for me.

    I did get my numbers mixed up, tho - the Stormtrooper helmet is no.351. The TIE Fighter Pilot helmet is earlier... that's no.91. Sadly, can't display both of them, so thinking of selling the Pilot lid & funding extra storm/sand trooper bits.

     

    Just got a MR scaled replica of the stormtrooper lid to go with the scaled E11 blaster. Weighing up the idea of doing a full stormtrooper in .45 scale?? Would take up much less space than a full-size figure in the corner!! And less chance of upsetting the wife! LOL

    Found your forum today & decided pretty much straight away to join.

    I've been a fan of Star Wars since the 'original' release in 1977... totally blew me away!

    As I've gotten older, the films have held my attention & enthusiasm - from the technical side of filming, thru to the technical side of the machines, droids & equipment portrayed in the films.

    Now, I'm almost thru collecting the figures, etc (tho I do collect the Kotobukiya figures of the Imperial troops / Dark Jedi). My wife bought me an early-release SDS Stormtrooper helmet, which is awesome. Now I want to restore/customise a kit-form helmet of my own.

    There are some fantastic works of art created by the members of here (& affiliated sites), so I'll apologise now if I ask too many questions! LOL

     

    Thanks,

     

    Rob
