??? This wasn’t a dig at you or a competition about how long you’ve been assembling armour. I was just correcting some wrong information on a link you provided backed up with some experience. I’ll just keep quiet in future as you obviously know more than me as you’ve been doing this for so long.

Not as accurate as it should be and take it as a rough guide. For instance if you are using a liquid solvent as I do then saying “One disadvantage with this glue is that there is only a very limited time to assemble the parts after applying it. There must also be a good contact between the surfaces to be joined as this is definately not a gap-filler. “ Is wrong. The parts are supposed to be clamped together before applying the liquid. It work through a capillary action then welds the parts together. I’ve found this the cleanest fastest and strongest way to glue abs. I’ve been making and assembling abs parts for over a decade.

I hope you’ve got extraction and a good face mask. 2K is killer otherwise. Good choice for finish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

His armour is cast from two modified ESB mkii suits. And not originals as he borrowed two vendors suits and basically recast them. Hence the overlaps and differences between ANH and his.

Hi guys It’s been a while since I posted but I have been busy on lots of Helmet projects. I just thought I’d show off the CFO TK helmet line up. First up is the new ANH SET FOR STUN helmet I’ve been working on. This is a prototype test helmet. I’ve managed to capture a lot of the details from the original 3D scan in the vac forms. So you can see the cracks, drips, chips in the paint and even where the tube stripes were painted. Next up is our new ESB mkii helmet cast from the one JoeR used to own. Then we have the CFO JoeR ROTJ helmet. And finally the Oakley helmet. And the full rotj armour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I make them too. Mine are cast from an original set. £20 a pair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seals direct.

Oh! <br> Really? I haven't had that email. I use Photobucket. Guess I must check it out.

Kits and finished helmets are available. I'll put a sales thread up in the sales section or pm me for details. <br><br> Thanks for the support.

Just read through the list of vetted vendors on here and make a decision. Stay away from etsy and Ebay etc. Good luck with your decision.

Wow. What a load of rubbish. The fact they changed their description is enough as it was misrepresented by the original description. they clearly agree or they wouldn't have changed it. Also $200 to ship armour within the US is outrageous. I can ship armour to the US via express fully tracked in 3 days for less than that and I'm shipping from the uk. <br> What a loser. I hope it works out with Amazon. I had someone dick me around on Amazon so long their "return period" had expired so refused a refund l and said good luck. I contacted Amazon and received a refund right away. Lol.

He's basically broken them apart and glued them back with the Hovi Text in the correct place. It's not rocket science

Where did you see these Mark? As far as I know only the tour suits weren't riveted or at least some weren't. And maybe the ESB mkii too.

Paul, I wish I could be at Celebration but unfortunately you may have to buy me a beer another time. :cheers: I'm just glad I got through in the end. Thanks for your support.

I wish I had thought of that one.

Thank you Paul! It has been a long slog. but I am pleased with the outcome and decision to include them within the CRL. I can't express how happy I am. I'm sure my customers will be pleased to hear this too. Thanks. Mark.

I have proved they were there before filming and after filming. So it's down to the powers that be to decide if they were there during filming.

Now it's not accurate Well done mate.

Congrats David!

I don't think they are visible on screen but that's how they were constructed. I've shown proof of before shooting and after of them being there. As I said I find it beyond belief that they were there before and after but not during. They are 4mm of white rivet on white plastic hidden under the helmet for the majority. The 6 foot rule applied back then as there was no HD or Bluray. If you couldn't see it from 6 foot it didn't matter. No matter how the film is remastered it will still only be as high res as the film it was originally filmed on. <br> I'm not sure why this is so hard to believe. <br> I've done all I can to prove this is the correct construction and quite frankly if I can't get it through then I'm not sure what else I can do. <br> I will continue constructing my armour as it should be and give my customers the choice of screen accurate or 501st acceptable.

Why are production photos accepted for the CRL of ANH armour but not for ROTJ? Sorry to hijack but CFO put these photos out into the public domain and they are being used to clarify the ANH CRL. Yet the production pics I'm showing are dismissed because they are not screen shots. I'm referring to this post. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/40073-shoulder-straps/#entry535867 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand that the 501st isn't about prop replication but I don't understand why we get penalised for replicating them. Surely that should be the highest level. As it stands if an original Stormtrooper walked of the Set of Endor he would be refused entry into the 501st because his costume is too screen accurate. This I find ridiculous. Because the 501st choose idealised over screen accurate. If the 501st refuse to see it on screen or simply can't see it on screen why should it matter in real life. The public really are not going to see it either but it's there and always was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
