brilliant!!!

I'm pretty sure doopydoos accept paypal as well. Just shoot them an e-mail and ask, shouldn't be a problem!

Do you have any kids, or is it just you and the wife? If it's just you two, and you don't feel comfortable where you are, I'd say go find a new job somewhere closer to the bright center of the universe With kids this might be a little more problematic, as they probably have a stable social network there that they rely on. Anyway, I can absolutely understand why your situation would be really, really depressing. I'm blessed to live in a very urban region here in Germany, with millions of people living close by, so I get my fair share of nerd friends here. I can only imagine how bad it must be being the "freak" living in an otherwise boring, conservative surrounding - if finding a job someplace else isn't an issue, I'd say do it! This hobby gets ten times better once you have people to share it with, and from what you've written it doesn't look like you're going to lose interest anytime soon

cool Alex I hope others will chime in as well - there must be more ESB lids out there, no?!

like that second one - still working on my screen-used ANH (Dave M) replica. Should be doing more progress on that very soon

You have 9 more months and roughly two more weeks to get one done this year and show it off here... you better get started

and a hyperfirm E-11 to top it all off - sweet We need more guys!

Well well, with all the ESB buzz right now I felt we should do our own little celebration here. And what better way to celebrate than a show-off thread? As far as I'm concerned, I never get bored looking at our favourite cannonfodder, so I wanna see your ESB buckets! I'll start by showing off mine, it's a CAP-W that I just recently finished: Now get your pics in guys! It's drool time p.S.: I have to agree with our very own synaptyx though: It felt sooo wrong painting the frown black, I'm glad that's behind me

apology accepted, captain Daetrin... walks away from force choked corpse :vader1:

it's stable now Aaron, that's what the button did over the last few hours... I was just being silly

I tried tracing the way of the button (sounds kinda like a spiritual movement!) Move along, move along...

I'll keep an eye on it! :ph34r:

I have 1280x 800 here (wide screen ) - works fine. The "new content" button is moving all the time today though, guess someone's tweaking the design right now?!

It's not an evolution, it's a whole new helmet. The one you have is a Don Post recast. The shoulders b4lrog has are not the only ones MFX has moulds for - I had different shoulders on my MFX (also different upper arms and thighs). Check my old Elite/EIB thread to see some pics of that. As I said MFX ain't MFX these days. b4lrog's rig is glossy HIPS, latest news are he's pulling in thinner uncapped ABS nowadays.

if you have an old MFX lid then you might have one of his earlier versions. MFX ain't MFX these days, with all the moulds he has

Nice job mate You know I'd have butt joined the parts and added the finishing strips, but hey, that's just me If you have any more questions, you know where to find me! Now get your rig ready and apply for EIB, we need more good examples in our Garrison!

This is the maker you're looking for -------------

---------- +1 for TM (that's me being my own mannequin there... I'm currently planning to build my own though, once I decide to do it, I'll make sure to take pics )

Finally managed to get some new pics taken at the children's birthday troop yesterday. They show how the armour looks now that the chest and backplate are connected to the abdomen and kidney. sits even better now I'd say (had to take the detonator off cause them kids wouldn't leave it alone)

LOL, we're recasting Gino!!! I'm sure we're all banned on his forum now... OH NOES!!!

peek-a-boo

well, that doesn't surprise me at all...

I was surprised to see you're NOT EIB yet as well - welcome to our fine ranks I'd say Love those pics as well, made me laugh! Brilliant

Oh, by the way - will my EIB picture get upgraded now? I have all the pics in a higher resolution as well, if that helps at all
