I'm buffing my suit back to white by 1200 grit and wet 1200.

Application denied. The discoloring needs to be fixed and better action shots.

Firstly, I'd start a new thread under armor builds. Post pictures and I know alot of people will be able to contribute to make it better.

Oh. So now he admits that he didn't sculpt the clay model? Geebus!

I love how doopydoo's has evolved with trooping and is catering to the high standards of EIB/Centurion.

The pinch on the shoulders help give a wider appearence when viewed from the front. Something which is good, 'cos I'm skinny.

This looks so awesome! Can't wait to see a suited up picture. Party like it's 1983.

Got my e6000 a few weeks ago and it certainly smells like nothing I've ever encountered before. The stuff is great though! Glued my glasses with it and it bonded very nicely. Some friends of mine play in a rock band, and I did an appearance to start their intro tape of The Imperial March. I walked up some stairs at the back of the stage and stood there looking menacing for a couple of minutes.

Also, the forehead is open, allowing air passage.

I guess they're a bit hotter than a TK?

He's answering atleast! Not the question, but posting something.

I have no visible option to post in the discussions at all. What worries me is not that Andrew Ainsworth won't listen, but that people have no way of knowing that he's full of crap. People really want to believe the little man vs big corp story.

And I'm also deleted from the group and unable to comment upon rejoining.

It's deleted!

Question posted on facebook to the pro-SDSers "A nice question one can ask oneself with regards to "caring" about this controversy is how you Ainsworth-supporters would feel if I bought a suit from SDS, recast it and made molds. Then proceed to offer it at a much higher price than all others, while it is clearly a warped and lesser quality product than the original. Imagine then that I proceed to claim having designed not only the costume, but also designing 200 characters for the movie and being the sole reason to why Star Wars was green lighted at a studio. While at the same time never answering questions as to why the product differs so greatly from what I claim it to be." Will let you know when it's deleted.

As if recasters would see the difference between an FX and a TM

Have you contacted your local garrison at nordicgarrison.net?

That's proper deflecting technique there. Claiming to be right by not being (directly) wrong on the answer of the issue at hand, whilst moving on to something else.

Alot of my posts have been deleted. I was politely asking questions. Oh well.

I still laugh at the cheese grater and angle grinder.

Yes, I was intending to portray it as a fact, I'm deep down into my philosophy paper for the term, so my formulations are very careful. Short answer: Recast? Just say NO!

You can have a poster of Leia in a gold bikini in there!

Don't know if this is appropriate but I'm baffled by the fact that you're wanting a symmetrical helmet.

Totally agree, this is to me where people fail to differentiate. If I have the opinion that e.g. CFO (random example) has only recast someone else's work and that recasting them is perfectly legit I make a very significant ethical stance. That Work is not Worth. (And that something is O.K as long as it's not illegal) Their effort and time (and $$$) is suddenly made irrelevant due to an arbitrary stance in order to further my own argument that every recast should be up for grabs. TM has made a significant effort in making and offering his suit and we've yet to see recasts. My blood would boil if I were to see that, and the SAME goes for CFO, TE(burnt bridges but very important for the hobby) the upcoming Si-Man and all the others who've made an effort to offer the community something. We must honour their work by not recasting it. If we say that "it's all recast anyhow" or even ACCEPT those kinds of viewpoints, we are in danger of not being offered similar opportunities of great quality replicas in the future.
