Never mind... I can't PM you...

Awesome job! You're right in my home-neck-of-the-woods! I lived in K.C. in 1991/1992... from Springfield, MO. I'm sending you a PM too! Great job!!

Yes... it's how you assemble and finish the helmet that makes it hero or stunt.

Congrats brother!!!

This is a beautiful thread... -------

Barber owned hobby shop?

Congrats man!

Translation: "It's 5:00 a.m. and I really, really do need to go to be now... after I finish trimming this one piece... and maybe that one too..." I'm so pumped to watch this build! Got a friend who's going to get this set of armor too and I'll be helping him with it... so I'm tuned in for sure.

Testors 1138 model paint for the gray.

Is this "de-railing?" Sorry.

Heck... who are we kidding... send me $50 and I'll record them on an audio CD in my best Yoda voice.

As a free service I'll read them to you for $200 a minute. Okay... so it's not free.

I wanna be quoted in a reply... Seriously bro... outstanding job!

I can't tell from the pic... but what mic tips are you using? Other than that, it looks good! :lol:

Don't fix it... just turn it into a sandtrooper!

I'm curious as to why you haven't finished previous builds... but... I'm more excited about watching this build. Good luck!

I love it when this topic comes up. I chose mine because if you write it in Eastern Arabic it looks like my name, "noEl" See... ٨٥٤١

You've seen starwarshelmets.com .... right?

Yikes! That made everything black and broken and scary.

That's true about that guy... but, in his "defense," I think it's because he's flakey to the Nth degree. I contacted him 2 years ago and heard a lot from him right off the bat then never heard again. I talked to him on the phone even about his reputation and he told me he just gets really far behind on stuff and feels horrible. If that's true, he just needs to stop selling them until he's caught up!!! So the warning to head is... do NOT send him money. All that being said, I've wanted a good original "V" costume for a while. If anyone finds them let us know!

That story rocks! I love that your dad thought that out like that.

Thank God for boring sods!! I'm getting the 1.5 mm kit actually. So I asked for the "standard strapping" with it After 3 sets of armor (the TM ESB will be my 4th) I figure it's about time I get a snap gun.

Awesome man! That's the exact thought process I had. Plus ESB = best movie... so... ya know, there's that.

I made the sig file one file for all the forums because I got so tired of having to change it 100 places if I changed it one. Well... 3 places.

I THOUGHT so! Are there patterns for it? Great stuff.
