  1. Try this. http://www.artistspraycolor.com/products/Montana-Gold-Artist-Spray-Paint-Sahara-Beige.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. this happens a lot when I post on safari on my phone. For some reason this site adds loads of characters to my posts. Anyone else get this? It will probably do it now.
  3. It's in stock here. http://www.artistspraycolor.com/products/Montana-Gold-Artist-Spray-Paint-Sahara-Beige.html
  4. I really wouldn't use superglue on acrylic lenses. It will cause the plastic to fog up. Use hot glue or epoxy, silicone or E6000. Hot glue being the quickest
  5. Nearly done. A couple of small parts to complete this. Then it's off to its new owner. Hope you like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. This is just what I was looking for. A detailed weathering technique tutorial. Outstanding work and totally believable. You can see the modeling background you have.... Thanks!
  7. And I paint the rear bump and the second in from the front.
  8. I always thought that ROTJ had two stripes and some of the ESB MKII had three. I haven't seen ROTJ with three? I could be wrong. I'll have a look through my reference pics. <br> The grey is Humbrol #5 and the black is Humbrol gloss black #21
  9. It's personal preference. Same goes for ESB MKII. Some had teeth cut quite large, some small and some not at all!<br><br> Same with the armour. If you look on the real suits some had overlaps inner over outer and some had outer over inner. Some troopers had detonators a lot didn't. Some had holsters again some didn't. Lots of different variations seen on screen. Shoulder Straps were riveted on but with the grainy film and blurred screen caps it's hard to see. Unfortunately the CRL on ROTJ does not reflect this.
  10. I just wanted to point out that contrary to what Paul told you some helmets had the teeth cut out quite large. Again no real rules with ROTJ.....
  11. Thanks Paul,<br><br> This thing pulls beautifully. <br> I've had it in storage for a few years as I had nowhere to use it. It was sold to me as a 3phase and I bought a new pump to convert it. When i put it in my workshop I opened it up and it was single phase. All I had to do was put in a new circuit and plug it in. Result. <br><br> I get better cleaner pulls that the pro formers I was using. <br> I guess it helps that I can alter moulds and experiment far more doing this at home.
  12. I was asked too post this one too. Whilst not strictly ESB it could be an ESB MKII https://vimeo.com/188126283 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Hi guys and gals. I've had this posted on my Facebook page for a couple of weeks and forgot to post it here. I've had thousands of views on there so I guess this is enjoyable to watch. This is the first ESB MKII faceplate pull. I got a bit of webbing on the bottom of the tube on this one but have sorted that now. Enjoy! https://vimeo.com/188124307 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Looking good Doug! good luck buddy. It was and is a pleasure dealing with you.
  15. Yes of course. <br> I need to order some abs next week for a couple of orders and finish the ear moulds then we are Good to go.
  16. Also the ears I used were some ANH ones with screw holes. I have ESB MKII ears but just need to finish the moulds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. It was cast from this helmet but I don't think it's been placed on screen yet..
  18. Wow! A never before seen stormtrooper helmet posted on a Stormtrooper forum and two comments. Lol. I remember when people got excited about new replicas that are cast from original helmets. <br><br> Oh well. <br><br> Thanks for your comments guys.
  19. I thought I'd share what I made in my new workshop. I've been meaning to do this helmet for some years but just not had the space to finish the moulds. Now I have. This was a flat sheet of plastic a few days ago. So using my Formech 660 vacuum former I set to work. Just did a quick assembly today. Still a couple of teething problems but definitely getting there. This was cast from JoeR's ESB MKII helmet. CFO ESB Mkii Stormtrooper helmet. No.1. Enjoy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Got some more done this week. Noticeably the helmet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. I have new decals that should be no problem with the 501st! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Thanks guys. You never know whether you're over doing it or under doing it when you are looking at it for so long. Yes the thigh ammo pack need more work... LOL I haven't actually started weathering that yet. It was just thrown in there to show the untouched red as a comparison. I'm glad you like it. The soon to be owner will hopefully love it too. Once the armour is painted and weathered I'll crack on with the helmet. I'm actually really enjoying this as an alternative build. Makes a nice change. [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
