Oi!

Coming along nicely.

This is no tell. I wouldn't make a tell this obvious. This is a fault. It's just wrong. No other explanation Not in my mind anyway.

Ordered some time last year. Can't remember when, had no shipping confirmation and couldn't care less when it arrives because it will arrive at some stage. Does anyone know how to put these things together or know what tools and supplies i might need? What else do I need to complete the costume? Anovos is crap...... No they're not they're amazing..... Hold on a minute what am I saying? Is this the right forum? Will I ever get what I ordered. What's a BBB? What's ABS? A bucket? That's what you put water in isn't it?

Exactly.... looks like it was formed that way so the mould is wrong not the pull

I wasn't even referring to that...... Look on the right side as if looking at it...... the bottom gum is way warped..... I've not seen that on any cast before...

Wow! what's with the teeth? That's not normal?

I don't think it was from me as I always offer Trim...... Apart from me and Paul I did not think anyone else did ROTJ?

Lol. I'll look forward to it.

As much as I enjoy reading this thread is it really necessary for everyone to post if they have had notification of shipment yet or not? Its all a little tedious.

Looks OK to me....... You can criticise all day long but if you got on the first tier...... you done good......

It happens to the best of us....... Just keep in mind that if people want quality they will find you......Recasting will happen but I can guarantee that it will second rate compared to the original........funnily enough it has not effected me at all even though my mic tips and helmets and armour have been recast..... Just carry on what you are doing and you'll be fine..... You wouldn't believe the stories I have been told by recasters of my products..... it's laughable!

I have worked in the prop industry and I would use the score and snap method and do....... Power tools are so unnecessary and slow for this application. I can do 8 hours work this way... It's what you get used to.... I can trim 2 suits and helmets in a hour or two ready for assembly. Just sayin..........

Score and snap. It's easier than it looks. Just use a very sharp blade with a good point and make sure you wear cut resistant gloves. <br>

Well said.

In one ear and out the other.

This exactly. ^^Don't know about anyone else but I'm getting very bored with receiving notices to this thread of people constantly banging on and speculating, assuming, guessing, bitching about delivery of this armour. It will be here as soon as Anovos ready to ship. Be patient. Unless you are Anovos or have direct communication with Anovos stating fact it's all pointless conjecture. Spend your time researching assembly and finding all the other parts you'll need to complete it when it does arrive. I bet most people receiving these are newbies and will be starting threads as soon as it arrives asking how to put these together! .

PM me your email address for more info on good ROTJ armour and helmets.....

Never mind. If you read my post again you might understand it. I Do what I'm talking about. You are misunderstanding my point. What I was trying to say is that you had given examples of makers that have totally reworked their moulds to look ANH. Some of which recast other armour and agian reworked those moulds so...... They cannot be used as an example of soft ROTJ derived armour. Once something is recast, retooled, sharpened up and reverse engineered to be something else it is no longer what it came from. AP armour derives from a Esb mkii if I'm not mistaken and all the others you mentioned are recasts of retooled reverse engineered armour.

I think you are forgetting that CAP, MTK etc are all recasts of ROTJ derived armour Not second generation casts of actual screen used armour. I have not forgotten what screen used armour looked like. There's sharp and there's overly sharp. Two different things. I'm not saying the originals didn't want to be this sharp and I'm sure if they had used cnc'd aluminium moulds and had modern power vacuum formers the originals would have looked like this. But they didn't and that's my point. Are you sure AP moulds are machines aluminium and not cold cast aluminium filled epoxy? I use aluminium filled epoxy as I just would not be able to afford machined tools. They are incredibly expensive and not usually viable unless doing commercial factory volume Vac forming.

Again all speculation.

I think we are stepping a little into the unknown here. All this is negative conjecture.

There is no copyright on the OT props. Sds proved that. Not in the EU anyway. LFL did not put any artistic copyright on them so all Disney can do now is copyright the new stuff. You cannot enforce a copyright if there isn't one. I don't think the 501st or "underground " vendors are slagging Anovos off as such but you cannot blame us for criticising it. It is from what we can see on the pics posted far too sharp. We all speak out when something is too soft. It's the same but different. Hahahaha

No offence taken.
