Only joking, it wasn't me

Aw..... go on then you can go for it. I have a M38 and a M19 anyhoo.....

Oh my god this will probably end up being the most expensive scope on ebay by the time we've all bid on it.....!!!!!

Sorry chaps, looks like I missed my own party... Thanks for all the Birthday wishes. I had a great time eating and drinking, my second best hobby.... :dancing-trooper:

Looks great so far, can't wait to see more. What colour are yo using or the paint job? I like the resin in the ear idea with the hidden screws very inventive.

I also have mic tips for sale. £20 a pair shipped.

That's outstanding! I love these screen used look suits. To me there's nothing better than a replica that looks like it has been kicking around for 30 odd years..... A.....M....A.....Z.....I.....N.....G......!

as I've said I have heard it all before

Unfortunately Matts always recovering from an injury. I've lost count the amount of times I've heard that one. If he really is then all the best but I have my doubts. I've emailed him a few times now about the helmets that he still has not shipped of mine. No answer. I can't understand how it can take nearly two years to put together a couple of helmets? I can put one together in a couple of day, so two years is just taking the piss. Now I'm about to release my own armour and lids I doubt I'll ever see Mine from matt. One thing us for sure I'm not going to follow in the footsteps of Matt or take on his business practices. As far as I'm concerned my customer service will be second to none and no one will ever need to buy from Matt again. I once thought a bit of healthy competition and me dealing with Europe and Matt dealing with the States would be great. But Matts shot himself in the foot. I can't see many people ordering from him again. I certainly won't. It is a shame. He bought to the hobby great things but had to start ripping people off and just take their money and not deliver their goods. Matt if you read this do yourself a favour and get out what's owed. I'm done dealing with Matt, he just tells you what you want to hear then sits back and laughs at you While he is enjoying your hard earned cash. It's theft and nothing less. If you want great armour and lids with direct screen used lineage hold tight there will be another soon.

Lovin it lovin it lovin it!!! I've started to put together a couple of the lids I kept back from the forming session. They are fun to build. I'll post some pics maybe on my own thread as not to hijack yours Dan.

Wow is this where we share everything we have on troopers? I have gazillions of photos to post.

Ha, I just checked out the photos in the first post.....cool helmets and what a find! I couldn't help but notice that ou had my banner in your album? I'm flattered.....

Pete, That's outstanding! Your eye for detail is out of this world......Your are quite simply mad..... You've set a new level of accuracy and Pauls work making that suit accurate really stands out too.

Fair enough but I think most of us are aware that we hold no legal rights to recast screen used props who's ever they are. However there are "rights" within the hobby community which do say that it is accepted to cast a screen used prop and offer accurate replicas to the community. To recast these offerings un not permitted. With out this unofficial rule recasters would be rife and you will have nothing but props without direct lineage to screen used.

To say recasting is a pointless argument is just a poor excuse for an argument. I for one have payed a huge amount of money out for a set of moulds cast from an original screen used suit. If anyone goes and blatantly recasts it then you will have the wrath of me to deal with. You obviously have no problem with recasters and therefor will not be in line for any of the new helmets and armour never before offered to the community. Why as adults we can't discuss is beyond me. To even participate in the thread was pointless if you feel it needs removing? If you think the whole discussion is not worth being here then why join in? I personally don't see the point of people like you or lightside having a place n this community with views like this?

I am beginning to think the same thing? Why are you here? All you've done is argue and say that we are breaking LFL rules! I suggest for someone that doesn't actually own a licensed replica you keep quite about these views, get to know us all better and generally join in in a team like manner. We are all one big happy White shiney family here with the same interests. You really aren't winning friends or influencing people here with you sour views. I know we are all entitled to our own views and opinions but you've chosen the wrong place to champion inaccurate licensed products and recasters. Sorry, has to be said. Chill out join in and above all learn and have fun.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I've been waiting for my SFS lid since Nov 08! I did receive my armour only after about a year and a half and it took a little under a year to receive a JEDI helmet with a repaired split, drips and glue over the eyes etc etc. Although Matt said he would replace it, you've guessed it im still waiting. I payed over $400 for that piece of junk. My suit of armour had so much superglue sticking it together and I can't begin to tell you how much overspray all over the very poor paint job. All in all not the best transaction and purchase experience I've ever had. I think all together I've given TE over $2000 of my hard earned cash, for what? I've only ever spoken to Matt as I would any friend and given him the benefit of the doubt for every excuse I've had and believe me I've had them all. He still talks and answers my emails so I still have some hope I will receive my goods one day before I die. I know you are reading this Matt and I'm not trying to stir up trouble, just telling how it is. All you have to do is stop taking peoples money, get back on track and ship goods out. Simple. Good luck with getting your suit sometime.

No worries and thanks. I sometimes forget I am speaking to people who's first language is not English.

Interesting that you don't own any licensed products and that you have bought from known recasters which in my opinion are at the bottom of the run. FYI there will a European maker of accurate cast from original armorer very soon. ME.

For someone that has only 13 posts here you have very strong views about what we should and shouldn't be wearing! Wether you agree or not is up to you. But this is the code of conduct amongst the replica community. If you don't agree then you can wear licensed products like rubies etc. If you want accurate armour and helmets then you have no choice but to buy screen replicas or unlicensed copies. I am only stating what is accepted in the community not what is law. None of us have z legal right to copy anything without license. Just out if interest can I ask what armour and lids you own? It would be very interesting for me to know this as you seem to take the stance that none of us should have anything but licensed products in our collections.

Happy Birthday man :dancing-trooper: I that order

If you gain access to a screen used suit or you sculpt your own or buy moulds from someone that has then you have within the community the right to cast that and sell copies. COC amongst the community.

Hello mate, I'm fine, working hard casting moulds for the new TK armour release. I haven't sorted the calf out yet. But it doesn't seem such an issue now I have a set of moulds taken from a screen used suit of armour. I'll just Replace it with pone of my pieces.

Jason, Who said you were Matt? In fact you look more like me! I'm good, how's you?
