  1. I recommend that you request replacements of any parts that seem to have resin curing issues. From my experience with this kind of problem years ago, it cannot be properly or permanently resolved. It will continue to weep residue that will prevent paint adhesion. I don't think you should have to use a "cut and replace" process with filler to fix significant casting flaws. The vendor would probably try to help.

  2. Beautiful original ANH helmet and auction result. I've been noticing that a lot of the original ANH stripes appear lighter blue in more recent photos than in the movie. I realize they now are a bit yellowed and perhaps faded a bit over time, but a lot of the originals seem to have similar lighter blue stripe colors. And the RS Propmaster painting videos show that Si uses a light blue/grey Humbrol color as well. This auction listing has me wondering- should I reconsider Humbrol French Blue for my ANH stripes?

  3. For a while now, I’ve been hoping the Doopydoos E11 kit would restock but hasn’t. I emailed them last week, but haven’t heard back yet. Are they still making them and perhaps just in a temporary covid lockdown?
