So sorry to hear that. Condolances to you and your family! Stay strong bud!

Don't you guys have Rustoleum or Krylon primers over there? AFAIK that's what most of the guys in the US use. If not, there's sure to be someone in here that has a good tip. I'm in Norway, so we don't have a single one of your paints over here.

Oooh..... drrrinkypooh!! Cheeers!

Yes, I would sand and wetsand before I put on a few coats of primer

Haha...that was hilarious!

You should try sending Stomper a PM here on the boards. He does some great mic tips (with or without speakers) in two versions.

Hmm...I would have to say that mine are: ANH ROTJ ESB RoTS AToC TPM

Hehe...that would at least be more of a pleasant surprise when you got it in the mail.

I don't have his contactinfo, but I'm sure someone here will shoot you a PM soon. Loads of people here who have it. Bezerkus: That's a Don Post or something? (# 3 from the left). It's not the MRCE at least:)

Go for AP. Loads better looking than the CE. I have the CE, and I'm happy with it, but took loads of work and ended more or less at the same price as an AP. The only thing that would keep you away from AP is if you have broad shoulders. The AP is a little on the small side. Inthat case you have a great choise in TM in stead.

If it's an MRCE, it's fairly easy- Just use a a Dremel from the inside of the lid. Remove little by little, while trying to wiggle it in between and, voila!! Suddenly it comes loose.

Use the search function and you will find both those items adressed many times over. Search: boots Search neckseal You can make teh seal yourself or buy premade from people around:-) CAboots is one way to go. Read up and you will find all that you seek :-)

That or bondo or putty maybe

Gotta start somewhere. With practice comes skill.

Cool! Looking forward to the WIP-pics!

Hmm...have you tried asking over at MEPD? They are the pauldronbearing crazies:)

I know...I'm building a Boba at the moment, so I've just ordered 5 3mm sheets of foamed pvc (aka sintra as far as I know) to make my own chest setup. I've got all the templates:)

Hmm... cool. Thanks. I'm kinda researching and thinking about making som small things here and there myeslf. I just have no experiance with sculpting or molding in any way. So it's gonna be a trial and error thing I guess. Probably gonna start of with some Boba Fett chest and shoulder armor and see where it goes from there.

Are those moulds plaster cast from a positive sculpt? And then you just pour latex into it?

Coolio! :-P

I would get VaderDaves buttons:) No painting required:) The FX buttons are a little on the big side (if you're going for accuracy that is)

Hey! What's the status on getting these? Still available?

Go here: ----------- It's FX without the helmet. You don't want that helmet anyway, so get an MRCE or better yet, TE2, TM or AP :-)

If I had a penny for everytime I heard that.... I can check my TD when I get home, it's an FX, which probably is what the majority have.

Which one do you have? The FX version is bigger than all of the others AFAIK.
