Oh,yes..the chin..what is need to fix at the teeth?

What are the exact mods for elite?My MR-CE has new lenses,new tubestripes and the srews in the ears!

Wow..awesome.Do you habe a pic of this helmet?What did you paid for it?

He has recasted from another recaster..and he from another..and,and,and...it´s a horror...if I don´t want,that someone recasts my work,I don´t sell it.Recasting is a f***,but it´s a part of life...I think all of us bought recastet parts in the past.You can´t know all handbuilders in the world.And who is telling the truth?If I am looking for an nonrecastet Armor,I would ask in the RPF-Forum. The ROTS-Vaderarmor looks like an Rubiesrecast..also whats the problem?I can´t ask Rubies to make me a fiberglasarmor.I think that´s ok!?

But his ROTS-Vaderarmor looks very nice.

Great armor...welcome to the FISD!!!

Great...and with a ANH-Buttonkit from vaderdave,it would look a little bit more accurate.I ordered my kit today.

Nice work...the helmet looks awesome with the FX-armor.Are the parts all unpainted?

That´s a word...thanks.

ANH screenaccurate?I think the hands are ESB or ROTJ?But I´m no expert. Thanks for this great pic..now I know,that I can never wear an original trooperarmor...haha..the FX is the right choise for me.;-)

Thanks a lot my Trooperbrother!

E-Mail send...

Oh,that´s enough?I must cut nothing from this parts(orange markings)? And what decals are you using for the blue stripes on the tubes?Or are they painted?I´ve stripes from trooperdecals.com,but under direct daylight,they are looking more violet as blue.

Do you have pics from all cutted parts together?I don´t understand,what I must all cut exacactly..sorry.

It´s a weathering kit for military modellkits from the japanese Tamiya company.In the kit B,you get "soot"and "snow"..both good for troopers.It´s only to put some dark or white pigments in the white plastic of the helmet or armor(you must look,what gives your look the best effect)...so it reflects the lights different.I used some "soot"on the helmet and a little bit "snow"for the armor.So you need only a little bit of it and put it in circles over the helmet or/and armor..so you can not see it on the first look,but the helmet looks darker and better on pics.I don´t know,how much your white is different..but on my helmet it works great. Here is a pic from the set I used. ----------- Use your finger to work with it..but only a very little of the colour!!!

I think you must paint all together,because the white isn´t 100% the same,like the plastic of the armor.You see the real differnts under flashlight.You must use the same primer and colour for both(helmet and armor).But a little bit different white is movieaccurate for the Stuntversion,because in 1976 the original stunthelmets didn´t matched the armorwhite,too.I´ve posted pics in another post here.

Oh,my englisch...I must translate it tomorrow...technical instructions are to hard for my old schoolenglisch,Steve. Can you send me a pic of your machine srews?Here in germany I bought some,but the screwhead on the top is too high.So it´s not movieaccurate.

Great work..but what did you cut from the eyes exactly?What 3 screws did you use for the outside of the ears?

Yes,for more yellow ABS,that´s a great idea.The weatherinmaster in "sand"is possible,too.

Something new,for the guys,who wants the MR-helmets white a little darker for pics: To make the helmet a little darker white,you can use "Tamiya weathering master" in "soot"..but VERY FINE(if you use too much,it looks like black soot!!) all over the helmet..makes it a better whitematch for pics.But I know,the different is sreenaccurate..the stunthelmets in 1976 had not exact the same colour like the Armors,too.But some guys want it a little bit better match..so that´s a possible way,to do that,without painting the complete armor.I hope that helps.

Your Armor looks absolutly awesome with the MR-Helmet.I´m waiting for some parts for my FX(Canvasbelt and screenaccurate Buttons)..than I begin to build it,too.Could you send me a pic of your back thights?I must look,to make my bigger.

Terrible helmet...I think it´s too much space,between the eyes...but let us wait for the final product.
