Shoot. I'd go but the speeder is in the shop. It's a little too far for the dew back. Have a Happy Birthday anyway. I'll drink the beer from here.

That guy is on it. Matt did an Awesome job. I would have loved to see the lenses usable. Note on the efx, It looks similar to the MRCE on one side but it is not idealized like the MRCE. It's completely asymmetrical like the original helmets. Kinda crooked and funky. It's made out of fiberglass so it's very heavy. Here's a pic of mine before I started working on it. It's sitting next to my MRCE. Notice the taller teeth, more accurate ears and the temple indentations are more accurate. I better get busy.

LOL! I've got to send this link to my Scottish friend at work. He talks just like that. I can't understand him half the time.

I'm thankful that I can support my family in this cruddy economy. I'm thankful that my Wife didn't die of the swine flu she had during the holiday. I'm especially thankful for the corn dog and the pop tart I had for thanksgiving dinner.

I love that. Laughed my a$$ off when I saw it.

Man, that's looking awesome!

Welcome back Steve. I've been out of the loop too. Just too darn busy these days. Twice the work for half the pay these days.

Couldn't find any meaningful numbers either. Ended up using my Wifes cell phone number. 8776. I've got so many numbers in my head it was helpful to recycle one of them.

Cool tip. Thanks!

Polystyrene in a mixable resin would be awesome. Does such a thing exist? I'm going to find out. All my resin is based on urethayne.

16 gauge mild steel is pretty easy to work with. I used a jewelers saw, files, hammer and a vise.

Cool! Are they Urethane? Do they seem brittle when you cut the eyes out?

Looking Awesome!

Looks great!

I was issued my TK number in just a couple of days. It took 2 and a half months to hear back from my Garrison about my armor. Even after checking in weekly with them. Turns out my email address got listed as spam in their filters. They never got any of my whining emails and then eventually forgot about me. I think they were hoping that I would just go away. After a giant email barrage on them with multiple emails accounts and having to send my pictures to them again they informed me that I had been approved 10 days after I applied. Crazy communication breakdown. I would have gone over an knocked on their door but I live 8 hours from them. I'm stranded on an outer rim world. Makes it tough sometimes. Hang in there.

Looks good to me.

I've got three of those this week from an Elizabeth something or other in Africa. On another note. Watch your credit guys. Identity theft is at an all time high right now. I just found an unauthorized charge on my credit card.

Truly awesome! Thanks for sharing .

Hey Smitty, Sorry to hear about your Dog. Congrats on the full time family. Take care.

Nice one!

I can't stop laughing. gasp!

Nice weathering job.

I'm glad I'm not that busy this week. I'm still on vacation. I spent the last two days working on my vacuum form table. Tomorrow I get to plug it in for the first time. I'm really enjoying the slow down.

Nice job. Are you using a beading foot? I was about to do the same thing. My beading foot arrived in the mail and then I broke the darn sewing machine. Project on hold til a new sewing machine falls out of the sky into my lap.

That's a beauty! I say leave it as is. Awesome job.
