I've had a few Jim kits and not had any issues cleaning with soapy water but each to their own  

Ive been making resin and fibreglass parts for a long time and always recommend using degreaser.. comes with experience ;-)

Warm soapy water usually works fine

Not always! Im looking at the paint finish and to me it looks like theres some agent there stopping the paint laying on the armour, ive always used a degreaser... it does the job perfectly.

[NotRookie’s very slow R1TK build (Jimmi)]

Are you using a degreaser to remove the release agent on the armour?

Have you considered hand painting? With a bit of research and practice, it’s really not that difficult. Plus, the results are lovely. :-)

I have and i have in the past, just not sure how to get the correct result and colour these days

[Hero stormtrooper helmet decals?]

I am trying to finish my hero lid, can anyone recommend where i can get the decals from?

Phwoar!!



I’m now using a standard camera tripod (adapter with a coat hanger and some foam) as a mannequin for my TK build. Helpful to see how things sit.

Must now finish the legs. So far, I’ve only glued the coverstrips at the front of the thighs. Need to get on to the shins next. :-)

Loving this build, this photo screams ANH, fantastic job :-)

I would like to ask everyone to please keep this thread on track.  This is about TM recasting CFO.  This thread is not about the differing opinions of UKG members.  Thank you.

Surely this is all part of the discussion? 

[TM Troopermaster has recast CFO cast from original.]

i think it was Joe R who posted the pictures

[TM Troopermaster has recast CFO cast from original.]

Wow!! hes behaving like a child! 

I cant believe,, well i can.. that someone would hold a grudge and act like this!

Personally i think he recast your helmet and has been caught out and come up with this childish excuse!

This is sad news!!!!  wasn't there a debate between Gino and Paul regarding TM Stunt helmet? I remember Paul claiming he had sculpted his Stunt but Gino was convinced he had recasted a TE  since there was way too many tells to prove it was a original sculpt

 

Mark (AP)

Yes i believe thats true, i remember  them going at it!  Gino did point out some telling marks on  the TE lid  that were also present on the TM stunt lid!

Check the eyes line, are completly different, this is mark photo one face has rounded under-eyes, the other square, the nose between the eyes is different, the windows on the cheekbones are different, and one is higher, as well as having different inclinations, let me understand, you are talking about measures or modules, because there is a big difference

Sorry bud, your looking at one photo! hes slightly changed changed his buck, but left the tell tell signs of it being recast!  the camera doesnt lie!! check out the other photos.. Paul was called out a long time back bout recasting!

Please dont take this the wrong way i like what you are going for, but would it not be better to print onto a thicker card?

The paper looks super flimsy, this could course a problem early on! 

 

[HOWTO: Shoretrooper Helmet Painting Tutorial. By Paul Prentice (tutorial on page 6)]

Mr Paul, do you have a link to your build with photos, i clicked on the Facebook link but that didnt work! btw is the snout and 2 greebles a dark brown rather than black?

Rs Propmasters has an original screen used helmet that they cast and made a mold from that they sell - rspropmasters.com If you read this thred from the beginning you will see what it looks like as that´s the one I´m building

Sorry bud, bit slow at this time of night, good luck in your build, looking forward to seeing it finished :-)

And to clarify, the RS and this helmets are most likely from the same mold back in the day. Not sure though if the originals were all made from the same mold or if they hade several to speed up production but I´m sure Paul knows. 

Sorry, who makes theses helmets ? are they for sale?

Have you seen the original helmets since replica ears were added and also the new paint discovery?

Is this an RS lid?

[Do not send money to THG Props]

Thats horrible, when casting the E11 the  mold hasn't been  lined up! Did you manage to get a refund on this?

[Do not send money to THG Props]

I understand real life can get in the way! but communication is the key here! and to be fair he was well enough to start a new project.... his Jurassic Park jeep! so why not take care of Greg and the other guys who spent there hard earned cash on a prop they have yet to receive.!!

[Do not send money to THG Props]

Thank you for letting us know, I was close to ordering one of his E11 blasters, glad I didn't! hope your issue gets resolved in your favour.

I see, and what about the lids? are these the same as the Special Edition helmets do you think?
