Can anyone give me his real name. It escapes me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s been recasting me for years. I’ve just noticed he is back on eBay selling recasted rotj armour and helmets as well as RS armour etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also this is a recast if my JoeR helmet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Return-of-the-Jedi-Stormtrooper-Helmet-Kit-/302904867427?nav=SEARCH Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys I would appreciate you reporting this guy to eBay if you get a couple of minutes. He’s recast my armour and blatantly lying about its source. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Return-of-the-Jedi-Armor-Kit/302999662958?_mwBanner=1&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F0%2F0%2F0%3Fmpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fulk%252Fitm%252F302999662958%26rvr_id%3D0%26rvr_ts%3Df96de7a81670a99be2f359b9ffdb8f79&ul_noapp=true&pageci=ba7cac9d-e260-4f03-a6e1-3a5e1e1ad824 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A bit late to the party but yes my abs is a warmer white. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just saw Harbingers post. Basically the same but I use a solvent made for the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Use liquid solvent cement or “Plastic Weld” get a small screw top bottle or pot and cut up small pieces of abs, fill the pot, then pour the solvent into the pot. Put the lid on and leave over night it a day or two. Done. I’ve been making it this way for years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As far as I’m aware the Sds ANH suits were made of an abs from a company called Union tyres. Essentially a tyre company but started making sheet abs in the 70’s. They were based in Acton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As far as I know the ESB mkii suits were made in a pinseal/Hair cell and and rotj in smooth ABS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d actually recommend getting an ESB mkii helmet for total shocktrooper accuracy. A ROTJ Is a good one also. But if you look closely you’ll notice that it has ANH ears glued on like the rotj ones which is only present on ESB mkii. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome job. Looks fantastic.

I echo what others have already said. Nicely done. Be interested to see how this holds up to trooping.

I built one out of Polycarbonate roofing sheets. Cut to shape with a jigsaw. I purchased a filter and a extraction fan etc and built it around that. It works a treat. I really recommend a booth or you’ll be at the mercy of the weather and paint dust!

??? 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.
