This is all common fact, and in the public domain. Ask brian muir.

Ainsworth claims of pemberton's design are a clear show of a lack of accuracy.

The color of the clay in the sculpt was discussed and made an issue by the lawyers. Photographic color of a clay cannot be determined by an image. Liz sculpted the helmet shown above in holland. She did not use the same clay in all of her work. her media changed, she produced work in many materials.

Those mold designs were fabricated in plaster and fibreglass for the forming tools. The fibreglass forming tools were filled to support the molds from the inside while allowing airflow though the mold.

Pemberton's design was not chosen. here is his design. facts are incorrect in the article. this is the pemberton liz moore design was chosen, and fabricated in mold form by the plasterers at elstree studios.

At last count I don't see 200 characters in STAR WARS. This article has many errors in it, but now AA's story at least has liz moore listed in it. but pemberton's design was far different, and had a grille of a car and other bottle parts stuck together. it was not the design chosen by lucas. the design in fact came from liz moore. I do not support AA's false claims, but I do know that John Mollo can confirm that AA produced about 45-47 helmets, and the armor was in sheets. It is a known fact that Tashy Bains was the first person to form stormtrooper armor and helmets at elstree studios, all without AA touching any of it. Brian Muir sculpted the armor, over a body cast. (not AA himself, as he makes false claims to) recast armor from TE the SDS does not conform to ORIGINAL MOLD status of Brian Muir's Sculpt. see the darkside of SDS here

original finish

more texture examples.

Look at this image... no crinkle paint. This shows the bumpy paint with the smooth parts. Look at the magazine well

People start wanting to make it a sterling replica for an e-11 and they miss the fact that in star wars the weapons carried by front line troopers are not weathered. The bapty which is the sandtrooper e-11 CAN be more weathered, but usually not so much.

Don't just laugh... show the GofD book references. I have no problem looking in detail.

Go with WTF. 100% tm might not have them as ready?

Those both look very different. The one on the right almost looks like a hero... almost!

I joke around all the time!

Han and luke both fire the same M19 scoped e-11. It does not have a crinkle finish. The bapty blasters, did not have a crinkle finish. The finish is not smooth, but it's not crinkle paint. Police carbines were finished with crinkle paint, as we know it. The british military design of coating produces a wavy, bumpy appearance. and the crinkle paint many people see on modern sterlings is a bad repaint. The Fazerkley and Sterling weapons have 2 distinct types of paint finish. The sterlings used in blank firing during star wars were also used in "The Spy Who loved me" and all were mid model sterling british mil spec designs. The finish was created to minimise glare. and then was painted flat black again by the prop dept.

so it is written so shall it shall be done.. "that bald dude"

I do not believe that this thread is negative in any way. SImple. Trooper with blaster looks right. Trooper without blaster looks wrong.

I have much respect for your input here. and I hope we can find a common ground to allow more understanding.

I started this thread because I wanted to share the information given to me by command. My goal is simply to stand up for the right to carry a blaster as a stormtrooper. If I am not allowed to carry one, then I will continue to be a stormtrooper, even without a blaster. even if I don't like it. if you step back just 4 years, and look at cosplay, we see no fear. We see art and freedom. A blaster is a work of art. it's not real, and it's not a threat. If I see some small woman holding a gun larger than her I know it's just cosplay. Stormtrooper blasters are simply cosplay. They are not real, and a trooper without a blaster just does not have the same look. I like the way this looks. it's not politics, it's cosplay. it is plastic spacemen. I want us to look like this when we show up.

Nice kit. The weathering on the blasters is lacking detail.

why dont you look at all the centurion threads that are RS props.

CA glue is expensive.

RS Propmasters has the blessing of the original sculptor Brian muir.

I own parts kits from the early FZ production line, and also have owned the MOD sterling parts kits. The painting process required by the various ministry, and the two competing gun manufacturers produced 2 kinds of paint finishes during the trials to replace the sten. The original british sterlings have smooth sections on the various induction braised parts. While the police carbines, and FZ finishes used a different type of paint altogether. During my research I found that the demil guns are all produced with a different finish than the firing versions of the props used in the film. When paint finish replication is discussed by sterling owners, we find that the surcote paint was originally produced in russia, and was a carcinogen. In the 70's and 80's sterlings were re-finished to maintain their use in law enforcement, and in various nations that purchased the sterlings from britian, and produced in other nations under license. To properly create the surcoated sterlings that were used as live fire weapons, we have the following details. Smooth Tip. Smooth end cap. Magazine well is completely free of texture. As is the magazine itself. Body of gun, and trigger group sleeve have a slightly bumpy texture, and the folding stocks can have a lines wrinkle type of finish that looks like the paint steve is diagraming. Covering the entire body of the blaster is a spray of flat black across the top, to cover the sight rail, power cells and hengstler counter with a rough and uneven coat of paint. The power cells, and counter box were jarred on the live fire weapons to such an extent that the parts fell off during scenes where blanks were used. Only the live firing versions had the real bolt, and trigger groups intact with their original paint schemes. One detail I notice is that the live fire gun has an M19 scope attached, and there is a silver dot on the rear site, at the side. These appear to be subtle changes so that the armorer on set might quickly identify the various e-11's in use.

so the video which display the open carry of blasters has no impact on your limited sense of freedom? My video has no impact on you? we are carrying fake guns... you should be terrified. we followed legion rules and were allowed access with our fake guns.
