  2. Best way to fix paint smudges and rubbed off paint on a WTF incinerator suit?

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Posted

    Have you tried the Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean. I use it all the time to remove marks from my armor including paint scuffs from bumping into other costumes. My armor seems to be a magnet for Death Watch Grunts. Paint scuffs come off no issue. Just beware that if your armor is weathered, that it may remove the weathering as well so just try to limit use to the mark itself.

    “When The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm from George Lucas in October 2012, the archival collections held by Lucasfilm were divided. George Lucas retained the Lucasfilm Research Library and its collections while renaming it the Lucas Research Library. Lucas also kept what is now referred to as his private collection of props, costumes, and other materials related to Lucasfilm projects up to 2012. The materials that make up Lucas’s private collection will become the collection of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art set to open to the public in 2023.”

    “Disney, on the other hand, acquired the Lucasfilm Film Archive, which stores all the negatives, prints, original films, and production documents dating back to the beginning of Lucasfilm. These materials were once housed in their own building on Skywalker Ranch, but they have since been moved to the Presidio offices of Lucasfilm Ltd. located in San Francisco. As Lucasfilm Ltd. began to make new films and content the company generated materials for storage and preservation in an archive [located at the Presidio location].”

    It’s a unique relationship, but it would appear the most if the physical props from the original films remain with Lucas as part of his private collection while all of the images, and written documents, went to Disney.

  13. Bulldog Props 1943 M38 Scope Review

    in R1 BlasTech E11

    Posted · Edited by Aradun

    I just want to give this a little bump having recently ordered an M19 Scope from Brian @Bulldog44 back in August for another project.  The craftsmanship is excellent with each piece individually cast.  Brian packages the scope in custom package that makes for an excellent presentation.  A lot of thought, care, and detail clearly went into the development of this prop from start to finish.  He maintained great communication from start to finish, and threw in a few little extras when he shipped it out to me from Japan.  The cost is very reasonable, and much cheaper than options available from other vendors, All in all I am very pleased with this scope and the fact that you can add a blastfx scope display is a great feature.  I highly  recommend Bulldog Props if anyone is looking for an M19 or M38 scope.

    I still don't know why they don't just glue the thighs shut, or use gaffa tape[/url]
     

    It’s not surprising though. There’s definitely been some laziness with regard to production for these shows. TBs with knee armor incorrectly worn. Shores with visible gaffer tape holding things together.

  25. New "Scout trooper" boot source

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    They’re not approvable if you’re thinking of using them “as is” for a 501st Scout. The back of the boot needs to close with 25mm (1 inch) white hook and loop fastener. Those ridges on the sides and toe that Joseph pointed out above would need to be covered over too. So you’d be looking at adding vinyl to the entire boot anyway, and with these being “rain boots” the sole is probably flat with no raised heel.
