Now that would be a nice goal! I'd say we go with this! Only 199 to go as of this moment

Congrats with the EIB, well deserved!

Now what did I tell you? Congrats on EIB!

Woohoo! 300 finally passed! And within a years time! Next 600? Sure, why not... but don't make it a year haha

Awesome! Great job, and number 300 also

looking good, should be any moment until you get that approval

Congratulations Gaspi! Looking good indeed!

No worries, you understood correctly. There is hope for the Google translator Looking very good imho! Because of that one picture I wasn't sure if it was an air bubble or something else but now I can see it very clear. No issues there at all You're correct. I couldn't see this really clear in that first picture, probably because of the angle it was taken so I automatically thought it was an air pocket. I did indeed notice everything else was hand painted, just wasn't so sure about that single one

The changes are looking good! I like the patch idea. Many of the 501st are crazy about patches, and while I hardly buy any patches of something that I am not affiliated to one way or the other, I promise you to make a purchase as well when I see the patch pop up You're right about the labor, that by itself is worth something as well. And true, as long as people are informed, then you did your job With the things that's going on with you right now, with all that you already have to deal with and how you are able to talk about this FX thing at the same time, and with the things you're doing and will be doing, I think she would be proud indeed! Looking forward to that patch!

Looking very nice! One question.. in the picture here: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6774/44443434.jpg is that an airpocket under the sticker or simply reflection? If it's an airpocket, you might want to fix it, if it's a reflection, maybe it's an idea to take a picture from a slight different angle so it shows better. Of course, I am not the DO and he might not care about it but it's something he has mentioned in the past, that's why I mention it to you atm Very nice looking build all in all!

I really must have monkey arms and legs.. we're only 1 inch different in size and your AP armor looks so much better on you than it does on me! Should be an easy pass, good luck!

Haha the banta is awesome!

The difference is that some people, like TE2 and others as well, paid 15 to 20 thousand dollar for the molds and rights to do this while others take a suit from some other maker and sells it off as their own. I agree that in the end it's both recast but the stories behind it are often different and that is why people are so much against these things. Discussions regarding recasts can become very emotional for some.. Accuracy is not the only thing that plays a part here. I understand you're currently trying to honor your loved one, and I respect that. I do not know what you originally paid for the armors but at 500 bucks, I feel that is a bit on the expensive side for something that is technically outdated. Take ATA, for example, they sell it for 500 bucks (add 50 or so for shipping) and looks ten times better imo. While I am sure of your good intentions, I do think your ebay post is a bit misleading since you're saying this is great quality for little money while, in fact, it's not really. ATA, in my opinion, is much better bang for your buck. People who buy your armor think they buy something awesome and when they do some research afterwards, they will find out it's not exactly top of the line. In that sense it is a bit misleading. Also, I do not completely agree with one of the FAQ answers. The one where you say "short answer yes" to the question if it will be approved for the 501st should be "short answer no" in my opinion. Technically no armor is automatically approved, they only are after the wearer makes it so that it fits them nicely and is build after the guidelines in the CRL's. That should've been the long answer in my opinion. I think Mathias has a very good point that it might be a good idea to become some surplus for those who already own FX. That way you can help the 'oldtimers' who might have problems getting parts for their armor and you prevent new people from getting stuff from ebay that they really shouldn't buy. In my personal opinion this would be the more honorable thing to do. Again, I feel terribly for your loss. I understand your current intentions and that's why I am giving you the benefit of the doubt even though it didn't start out with these intentions. But if you want to do something honorable I think it will be better to review your business plans and perhaps look into becoming a parts seller instead

It was actually a complaint from my wife, that there was no random number issued.. she didn't like having to choose one lol

Thanks

400 ummmmm..... yeah... I was kind of nothing about an amount that high lol... guess that's my mistake for being in a small outpost lol Anyways, seems it's all sorted.. now we countdown to the moment you let your light shine in that EIB thread of his

Wow another nice armor.. it's probably going to be another easy pass for Mathias from the looks of it! Seems you might be the long awaited number 300 soon

Someone press that darn button already lol! Contacted your GML yet? Ours does it in a sec

This guy made more stuff, pretty cool stuff too, but this I never seen before (guess its coz its a bit older lol)..

Really? We're going to be stuck on 299 and not make 300 before the 29th? Come on people, don't be scared

My bad, I kind of thought they were the same people since they're both named "ron" and both seem to have mental issues...

TK-80866 808 is the area code for Hawaii and 66 is, well, the order we're enforcing.. hence it represent "enforcing order 66 in paradise" My wife is IG-82509, which stands for the birth date of our daughter, August 25, '09

Yeah I've been following it since the beginning but was wondering if someone posted it on that predator forum

It's pretty clear to me that this person feels perfectly fine about recasting stuff... Well duh... what was he thinking anyways :S Is, by any chance, a link posted to his Facebook on that forum? If not, could be an idea to do that since he cannot delete it himself.. it's sad that he is able to do this and just keeps going on with it too
