Oh my, Afghanistan? All the best mate! No pressure, real life is way more important!"

Indeed, they do. You need some strong scissors (or a saw) to trim latex that thick.

So, is there some new info? Arnie_TK

Lazy?!??! Hilarious, Darth.... Hilarious. Right.the original weren't painted. I only saw 1 blurry screen shot were they seemed to be white, but you can't tell really. On 99,9% of the pic they were not painted.

So, now they're recasting doopydoos aswell? What a shame. They "updated" they current armor by recasting RS prop's suit....

Thanks! Yes, it did! You know, sometimes real life let's you get desperate. But it's all good now!

I'M BACK! Thanks for all your prayers and positive thoughts. it really helped a lot! I'm so proud and glad to be part of this community. Thank you again!

Due to some serious family troubles I will be away for some time. All orders have been taken care of; should a problem arise, please contact me directly via email. (All emails land directly in my (non apple) smartphone. I also will leave my personal contact detail with the staff if needed. I hope I'll have this all sorted out soon. Sincerly, Karin PS: I'm gonna miss you all

As I said in previous threads, we still need to find out what brand of under wear they had back in '77 to be really screen accurate. We alrady know the brand of smokes they hid in the crotch

Rivets are your friends! A few drops of CA glue or E6000 help,.too!

So, who will be #300?

Well, there's nothing left to say...

I posted the link to the hunters'lair forum on his FB thread; he deleted my comment and now he's threatening me.... What a [.....]

There are countless threads about recasting here. Please, don't start a new one.

Hm... every Recaster seem to have "updated" their molds with RS... quite a shame. I'm sure RS didn't send any armor to them directly, so they must have "acomplices" out there.. shame again!

Hand painting for replicas (and for Centurion), idealized decals for trooping

Hah, I remember these.... still getting head aches just thinking about them!

#300 gets a free set of rubber hand guards (unless they already have one), so they'll be able to apply for Centurion right away!

What Steffen said. It's true, AA is an expert in vacuum forming. He does it for over 40 years.

Don't you know? This is AA's prototype!

But we do care

What Steffen said BTW: The teeth look a little too round. They should be almost square.

You could try to put them back on the transfer paper... Better order another set from trooperbay or paint them yourself!

But you can often see, for example, 2 right or 2 left biceps on a trooper in the movies. On a ATA (or similar armor) the left is rather small, so some people order a second right set

Please post a pic of the black spots. I do know a little about rubber gloves and hand guards
