    Michael, I happen do disagree. Although the material costs are "next to nothing" even though they do actually cost something. The time and effort making them is surely worth something? I for one would not be interested in investing my time and effort into making something if you as a customer wasn't committed to following through with your interest. No deposit= no = no commitment = no product. Paying a small donation up front is piece of mind for the maker/seller and buyer. Also Andy has to buy in materials and put time aside for the builds. My 2 cents worth.

    I have a MCG mould and the greeblie moulds too. I just need to work out how to get a nice clean cast out of them. I'm looking into getting a large pressure pot for the casting as it's hard to get a bubble free cast without.

    Errrmmmm..... sell it! If you like the look of ROTJ then get one from me or if you like ANH/ESB there are plenty of great vendors on here with various options for different budgets...... By the time you've spent all your money, time and effort making the Rubies anywhere near acceptable you could buy a new suit. You will be much happier.

    Hey Frank, Good to put a face to the name. Looking good

    Yeah, I use pop rivets. And I'd say 5-6 mm.

    Thanks buddy, It was a pleasure dealing with you too...... I'm glad you like it and that everything arrived safe and sound.

    I have emailed Lucas a few times recently as I'm trying to get this done for you all but unfortunately I have no reply to my recent emails. I did get a response a while back when Andy posted his update and I have a few plans going off to the laser cutters but I think I'm still missing a few parts to the plans. When I do get a reply from Lucas I'll update. Hopefully I will have a few kits available soon for you all..... Stay tuned!

    If its any conciliation I do it for the money! joking although it does help. I donated a full suit to the UKG for the "Make a wish " foundation. It raised a few thousand pounds and I can sleep with the satisfaction that I helped brighten up some kids lives. It's all about the children ultimately. Saying that I never grew up so technically I'm still a child.

    I think it was a mixed question. As in why do we spend so much on armour. Then it became what's the best to buy.

    Not forgetting TM which I believe is easier to assemble as its engineered from scratch. But in terms of lineage for ANH/ESB the RS is your no.1 choice. Or mine if you want to ROTJ.

    Thanks Vern!

    Rubbish. Buy one of mine and get the best to start with! In all seriousness there is a lot of good advice here and listen, research, research some more, listen a bit more then do a bit more research ask a few more questions listen to the answers, research a tad more listen again.............. That video bought a tear to my slightly deformed right eye! Amazing,...... Simply awe inspiring.

    This thread is Horrendous!

    nicely done!

    I would love to see the process from the start. You can never get enough of own sculpts!

    I would be curious as to what moulds you would be using to make full suits of armour? It would be pretty cool to see a carbon fiber sui.

    Aw......shucks.... I've never been called a discerning gentlemen before!

    When I asemble my suits for customers I don't add any strapping under the shoulder straps as per diagram....... Here is a diagram drawn by an actor and a revised version by our very own TM............ Original..... Revised.......

    Put me down Andy! On the list! Ha ha.

    Easy. Sand down the surface with a 180 grit paper or pad until fairly smooth, then 240 then 400 then wet sand with a 2000 grit and you should be done. I'd not go over with novus. It sounds harsh but in reality very easy and you'll get a good result. It shouldn't take too long and use circular motions as not to cut lines in the plastic with the courser paper. DONE!

    They are made out of a thick vinyl with a matt texture, wonky handcut style lines. They look quite paper like.
