TK8280

I already asked AP and they told me they don't piece out their armor

First off..my FX armor and AP helmet probably have to be re-painted (if I don't just go ahead and order a new set of armor)...I need to fill the screw holes in the ears, and paint them, which in turn will make me have to paint the whole helmet, then I will have to re-place the existing ROTJ decals with new ROTJ decals on the helmet including the correct tube stripes which are blue placed on top of a white back ground type of sticker not like the ANH ones were the blue stripes are individually placed...and after that, I have to buy a correct blaster which will run me about $200.00+...In the end, I will probably be submitting about 30+ photo's of every detail It is definately going to take me quite a while before submitting any photo's because i want to make sure that my armor has nothing wrong with it and nothing is left to question...I just want to really follow and help set a high bar for the ROTJ TK's

Nope...you don't understand...it is going to take quite a wile and some money to get all the extras done correctally and accurately...and I know which pics I need to submit for deployment my good man

Yeah huh?

Yeah, but its not about what the armor looked like in these impromptu spit second scene's...it was what GL's real vision of what the armor was suppose to look like...when you work in films you notice all the corners that are cut during productions to save time/money and to make the armor work for that day of filming...so, I am not surprised at the corners that were cut...these suits were made to reflect a vision, and to last a month or two...And these suits went through ALOT of wear and Tear...when you do film production you shoot and re- shoot a scene over and over again...as they say "back to 1"

yeah, like Jello Hand plate's , that's got to be pretty comfortable though

Yeah it sucks , but it will come together one of these days

Mine will be one of the longest to get everything right, because there are no exceptions to my impression of a ROTJ because of the existing knowledge every attention to detail will be paid so I'm shooting for around the end of September

Um...HDPE and that other stuff

Congradulations Scott!

looks like me after a long night out

So...does Scott get his deployment status? I personally think he has done a great job bringing his stuff up to par...it isn't that easy doin that to an FX kit

I don't know ...I'm confused

I sent a PM too at about 4:00pm, your time...still haven't got a reply

yeah 50 is a good number, too bad, it is goin to take me a while before I am done with mine

WOW! thats awesome! you are one lucky guy

wow! now that is what I cal dedication!

I know ...I was just giving you a hard time

Im goin to go out on a limb here and say "C" none of the above

Race in Paris huh? have you ever thought about doing the "Paris Breast Paris" I wanted to do it this time, but don't have the funds, so, I guess 'll have to wait till the next time it comes around

hey...it only has one screw in the ear

I think it looks awesome...great job on the frown!

you got me stumped on this one...they are too close to call, do you think that they may be a recast?
