SuperTrooper

We don't have them. I believe it was just an idea that never went through. Paul can answer for sure as this was before I was DL.

If you need any help assembling armor let us know, that is what we are here for. Also there is very little that can't be fixed if you mess up.

Moral issues aside, it'll be more expensive than buying a replacement part.

Recasting, even for friends and family is frowned upon. Armor makers aren't going to retire off the hobby and it takes alot most time, energy, and skill to bull armor than most people think. Also for the cost of materials alone you could buy a couple sets of the best armor out there. Everyone thinks recasting is a cheap way to armor, but most that try quickly realize they just invested more money to get a substandard product. BTW websense listed us as a game site, we have no control over that.

Well as some have stated, the prototype helmet came after the fact. Interestingly enough AA couldn't have made a prototype anyway as he was contracted to finish the forming job when Elstree's vac table died in pre-production. Interesting read though.

I agree, my helmet is white inside and it's never bothered me. Outstanding job on the helmet Mike.

I believe there is a tutorial on the Flag Ship Eclipse.

Alot of the Vaders wear them, but I've never heard of a trooper having one. Anything to keep people safe from the heat is a bonus.

ROTJ is way more work, as no one makes ROTJ style armor. It can be done though, Bernard made a nice guide to his conversion from ANH armor to ROTJ.

Yep, make the front accurate and nice, and cheat on the back. If you want to go all out check out the clone forums tutorials and put in an invisible shim.

Of course, not to be confused with TK MD aka Joey FISD elite #5.

Don't even try. I'm painting a suit for a friend and I bought a case (6 cans) of the pro enamel so they would be from the same paint lot. I learned a long time ago doing models to always buy paint for a project from the same paint lot.

Honestly with the amount of stuff I have already it would have to go on a DVD. If anyone wants to send images my way feel free as well.

I think most everyone uses enamel model paint. Some use Testors some use Humbrol it's mostly a personal choice.

I've got the OT in HD, and a ton of reference pictures too. An eventual goal of mine that is still a ways off is to make a reference section here at the FISD. Then no one has to buy any CDs, and people can download and burn what they want.

I agree with Kevin and Paul. It's crazy to see any separation between the FISD, MEPD, and Spec Ops as all three detachments have the same base costume with detail variations. The three detachments working together is a win-win for troopers and the Legion.

Marcus is correct, you don't top coat it.

I find that life's best opportunities come when and where you aren't looking. They also usually hit about 3 months past what you think is your wits end. Hang in there bro.

The purpose of this thread is to compare products out of the can. Any paint can be made glossy with enough work.

Here's to a speedy recovery .

Yes, but the 1996 WS THX ones are a bit harder to find in mint condition, but they do pop up on ebay from time to time. At least LFL got the laser disk converted to DVD but had to buy a second copy of the SE on DVD to get it .

How does that saying go, one man's trash is another man's treasure. What I wouldn't give to get my widescreen THX VHS tapes back (they were stolen) and convert them to DVD so they wouldn't degrade.

I've got Fusion now but the weather needs to improve for me to spray. I already know that it's not as glossy as the pro enamel, or the H2O. Depending on what you are using it for you may want to use a gloss clear coat.

I can see the pictures just fine. Could have been photobucket maintenance since they were hacked yesterday.

Dried. Freeze it and a little tug and it should pop right off.
