  1. "..It wasn't until The Empire Strikes Back that Lucasfilm sprung for beautiful new helmets ... oh no, wait, actually they just reused the old ones, slapping yet another shucksty coat of paint on them. Hell, sometimes they didn't even bother finishing the details, like when they completely painted over the breathing slits on the sides of the helmets."

     

    HA!  WRONG! Mr. No Stripes is from ANH, and the "breathing slits" were not painted over.  They were just not painted on due to an oversight.  (I always thought of them as some sort of exhaust vents).  AND, of course they were "shucksty plastic painted costumes"!!  It was the mid-70's! Not a big-budget blockbuster with a massive costume and prop department like movies today! ..well, at least it wasn't yet.  ;)

    Plus I'm

    Sort of looking at staying with the red because of the whole Sith thing with the blade etc. but who knows, maybe on my next one?.....

     

    Also still got the Cape to sort out. I've got someone looking into it (someone I found on the RPF) apart from that it's just tweaks now

     

    I'm thinking turtletrooper if this works out. Going too far? Maybe.......
