  1. Ha ha ha yes:-)...I hope there s a special place in hell reserved for the autocorrect;-).. Here to help others, you're welcome:-)... The lettering is easily done. The letters are engraved, and the way to get them coloured is to paint into the letters, making sure that the paint is in all of the letters, and then quickly wiping off the excess paint with your finger, leaving only the paint in the letters. Use paint for miniatures, as this is water solluble, and easily removable....clear enough?:-)...
  2. Thanks for the kind Words :-)..you need to build the Scope rail and bracket for the Hengstler counter(ammo counter).. Ãou can add a lot og stuff, convert and "pimp" (like I an others did) but it is not required. the Hengstler counter is not mandatory. Take a look at the different versions in the film. The Hengstler counter is included in the Doopydoos kit.
  3. Sorry!. :-)I have not made any videos ( maybe I should..hmmmm). I used three different techniques: Paint the weapon overall satin black in several layers. Shading: water down a dark paint, in this case dark brown/rusty brown and apply it in very small amounts to all the crevises, nooks and crannies, this will create the ilusion of ageing to the metal. Drybrushing: use a light colour, in this case three different "silvers", gradually applying very small amounts of white into the silver. Dip the brush in the paint, and then remove allmost all the paint in a papertowel, and then gently move the brush across the areas that are "metal" and repeat numerous times. The trick is to apply very very subtle layers and build up the metal colour. Too much and it is evident that it has been painted on. This is done to the scope with bronze/copper and gold paint. Highlighting: on select areas apply very small amounts of silvery paint, to pick out for instance screws, nuts and bolts, levers, sights etc. Everything is sprayed with satin varnish, and finally the pistolgrip, and wires are painted with high-gloss varnish to give the illusion of bakelite/plastic. Hope this gives a very basic explanation. If you make "mistakes", cover with black paint, and redo. You can look up the techniques on youtube, for videos. The techniques are primarily used when painting miniatures. Additional questions? Just ask :-)
  4. I used (if that is what you ask;-)), Citadel paints called Burnished Gold, mixed with a pinch (really just a very small amount), of Beaten Copper..
  5. Thank you so much:-), any questions...just ask:-)
  6. Look high, but fine...it is supposed to ensure that no skin is seen when wearing the helmet...but check out the scene i ANH where Han and Luke sit in the controlroom and take off their helmets....those are the reference:-)
  7. You should go for the black version, the originals were black.:-) You will be using between 5-9 layers, apply thin layers. You should sand them lightly, and wipe them with acetone, before painting...and leave time enough to dry between applying the various layers....
  8. 1 or 3, I would say.....no. 2is a little too square in the toe, but of superior quality compared to the others....but. Now that you are shopping on ebay.co.uk, why not go for Loake 290?...there are several, and they are one of the most "correct" ones.....and high quality as well:-)
  9. Had the last highlights made in my Boba tatt....finally finished
  10. I have made this thread on high quality boots, that also are very close to the originals:/) http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/24742-trooper-boots-a-list-of-suitable-candidates/ Besides these you could opt for Bass Amsterdam, or Land End Fulton chelsea boots..:-) Stay clear of CA boots, they do not lok the part
  11. Woooooo, contemplating getting a snowie now...:-)
  12. From what I can see on the pics, the heel is way too high..whether that will be a showstopper or not, I am unsure.. But why not try and find the types/brands that we know are CRL acceptable?....:-)
  13. Thanks a bunch:-)Me neither..will visit her next week to see a coloured version... Blue, greyish icelike colours.....
  14. Try imgur....works a charm for me
  15. This is the first draft my tattooist made for the coming project, that will go on the right side of my back, next to Boba Fett. It is drawing of a picture of myself...
  16. Looking mighty fine:-)..I opted for the easy way, and bought one ready made:-)
  17. Re. Photos: just look at the example, and copy that, keep the headlines and then swap the photos for your own, submit that, and you are good to go:-)
  18. Wauw, just wauw:-)... Looking really good!
  19. Hahahaha......:-)...ofcourse SI...
  20. I do hope that as well Brian....:-) fingers crossed!
  21. As far as I know there is not set rule, there is a guideline..and that states that you should pay for goods and services, as that puts you in a better position if a claim comes up (like your situation). If the seller asks that you pay "friends and Family", an alternative to that might be to pay that extra amount which will cover the fees..I myself though have never ever had any problems with either form of payment..hope your case gets solved quickly:-)
