Sonnenschein

Happy Birthday! All the best! Karin

Now, THAT'S an anwer.. Thanks, Mark! KArin

That's some info I'd like to know aswell... I asked the same question last year, but didn't get any anser... Karin

Hallo meine deutschsprachigen Kollegen und Kolleginnen.... Ich habe diesen berühmten Kleber noch nie irgendwo im Bauhaus gesehen. Ist das ev. das gleiche wie Pattex? von den Beschreibungen her klingt es so. Wenn nicht, was verwendet ihr? Lg, Karin

Thanks, Martin! I'll try that.... tomorrow...lol I ususally don't have trouble sleeping-- just for the last couple of days... Karin

For the last couple of days, I experienced heavy sleeping problems. (It's 3:45 am here right now) I don't know why. My life's good, no problems, nothing on my mind. Anyone else here? Is there some kind of remedy? Drinking a glass of prosecco (= sparkling white wine) did not help.... Karin (who is finally on vaccation right now...)

William "poo"ner? I'm confused.... Honestly, get a doopydoos kit and a pipe. Highly accurate, and cheap. Karin (who can't sleep.....) Edit: And get one of my d-rings

Nice..... for a recast kenner blaster with a doopydoo's kit.... LOL Karin

Thanks Mike! That helped a lot! AFAIK the s-trim was for ANH. For ESB, the "curved" part was cut of, thus resulting in a U-trim. I don't know about ROTJ. Karin

A quick observation about the decals: it looks like the "black parts" are hand cut out of grey vinyl... Isn't that the way T*E made his replica decals? Karin

The S-trim has 2 parts: 1 straight, and 1 rather curved one. Which one goes on the edge of the helmet? thanks, Karin

All the best!

Awesome! Was that the "real" voice of James Earl Jones or a VERY good impersonator? Karin

Thanks, Joe Agreed. But I think that even if I had some "proof" for paypal, some "bad apple" still could claim "not as described" and still get their money back and keeping the product, right? I guess this is still a "trust matter", otherwise the FISD will become some kind of Ebay... Karin

LOL! Send me a pm... Well, from now on, I really will sell only to better known members. Be it by post count, or with some "letter of recommendation" from another member ... Karin

THANK YOU everybody for your kind words. I really don't know what so say... You are all awesome A little update: well, the "buyer" ceased all communications with me. Altough I know for sure he read this thread.. Anyway, I just bought some raw material to cast another batch. Thank you everybody! Karin

Thanks, Brian! I will keep the details to myself; I don't like dirty laundry to be washed in public.. Hey, I'm feeling better already! Karin

Okay, So I got my first paypal dispute. I it almost ruined my day. From the begining: For almost a year now, I've been selling various items here on this board. It was fun. Really fun, and often I was a little proud, seeing more authentic troops on pics. I wasn't doing this for money, but for fun.. I never missed on order, and NEVER EVER an item got lost (besides a few d-rings, and they were replaced on the spot). If there was a delay, one could ALWAYS communicate with me. My "selling history" is flawless. I only ask for money when I have the items IN HAND. (There was a dealy once, when the shop where I alway buy the gloves was sold out on them and I had to wait a few days for them to re-stock) Until today. My first unpatientent "customer" chose to go to paypal DIRECTLY instead of asking me.... I felt quite hurt. I t was like beeing accused not to deliver armors like others-not-to-be-mentioned... THIS TOOK COMPLETETY THE FUN OUT OF IT. Now, maybe I'm a drama queen and I am over reacting... but maybe you unterstand- SO I decided to stop selling ANYTHING here on this board. When something isn't fun anymore, it is time to quit. But while writing this, my boyfriend calmed me down a little bit. So, we together made up a compromise. I hope you all understand From now on, I only will be selling to members with AT LEAST 50 posts. That way, we all have a little time to get to know each other. And to all "future" costumers: Delievery may take up to 4 weeks. Esp during summer and other holidays (Christmas) some delays are to expected. I don't use any trackling numbers on my packages, because this would more than double the shipping costs for you. This is, after all, a trust issue. We have to trust each other. I have to trust you, that you dopn't falsely claim a disput (although have received the item) and you have to trust me, that I have shipped it. The only prove I have is the receipt from the post office, but that only read !1 package, 350g, to USA (or something like that) So, rant is over.... Thank you for your time reading this...(maybe the longest I have ever written) ... post Karin P. ("Sonnenschein") PS: Sonnenschein means "sunshine" in german, because I'm always a "sunny" person.... PPS: Please excuse any misspellings or grammar mistakes. I'm still a little in turmoil...

I'm going to make a tutorial this weekend to clear everything up. Stay tuned! It wokred many many time so far... Karin

The latex hand guards are painted - with a dull surface and the paint will crack and flake with time (making them screen accurate tough) AND I do not make them anymore. You, sir, have the non-latex ones. They're quite glossy. Without any of the disadvantages Regards, Karin

CA works best for the latex ones; for the non-latex version use the cheap silicone caulk, the one that smells like vinegar. Let it cure for at least 24 hrs. Feel free to ask any other questions! Karin

As per common request, could you all please include your shin size? like Shins: xx" did you use shims? Thanks! Karin

thanks everybody! Everybody else: grab that measuring tape... Karin

I started I list a few weeks ago, but didn't get THAT much response... Karin

I like it! especially those hand guards Karin
