Wow, I was away for some time and the discussion is still going. Some things never change here on FISD

Hmm, das weiß ich selbst nicht genau. Eher war es ABAL, aber selbst bevorzuge "prop/costume forgery" Niklaas, Für dich würde TM besser passen. RS hat viele "Original"-Warzen.

Die "Varianten" (außer ROTJ) musst du selbst bauen. Je nach Material (ABS oder HIPS) halten die Rüstungen einiges aus. Teile kopieren ist sehr, sehr, sehr verpönt. Siehe "recasting" Ersatzteile kannst du bei den div Herstellen erhalten.

Für das restliche Zubehör (Blaster, Unteranzug, schöne Hand guards, Bastelzubehör, Werkzeuge, ...) gehen auch noch ein paar Hunderter drauf. Rechnung wirst du aber in diesen Fällen nicht wirklich kriegen. Sonst kann ich Tino nur beipflichen: Lesen, lesen, lesen

Die akkuratesten sind RS, direkt gefolgt von TM Troopergear sagt mir nix Für ein Carnevalskostüm werden sie dir zu teuer sein; ca + 1500 € mit allem Zubehör Billiger wäre ATA oder MTK Kennst du schon diese Liste? Da wird alles genau beschrieben. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/

Just a quick FYI: Because of the holidays in my part of the world (we had the last one yesterday), it seems that most orders placed before the holiday season are heavily delayed. So, if you have not received your order yet, please be patient. If you have questions, please contact me via PM of facebook Thank you!

I once used drill bits for wood, but I'm no expert. A small pilot hole helps with chipping.

1) finish the second half: cut some keys, apply plenty of vaseline, pour resin 2) use the now finshed mold to make a back-up (the oringal sculpt is proably being destroyed while removing it from the silicone) 3) using the mold, a plasticine sculpt is made. 4) Pour some plaster over the plasticine sculpt. Let dry. Remove plasticine.

Got home earlier, so I removed the clay Ready for the second half -tomorrow! Next steps (for those who are interested in that stuff) 1) finish the second half: cut some keys, apply plenty of vaseline, pour resin 2) use the now finshed mold to make a back-up (the oringal sculpt is proably being destroyed while removing it from the silicone) 3) using the mold, a plasticine sculpt is made. 4) Pour some plaster over the plasticine sculpt. Let dry. Remove plasticine. 5) Pour some latex in the plaster negative mold 6) HAPPY TROOPERS! 7) Once mold is worn out, repeat 3-5 8) MORE HAPPY TROOPERS!

A second layer. I hope I have enough resin left to finish the mold.

Clamps!

First layer of the mold jacket done.

+1 for the prop forgery! Awesome build!

Finally! A big "thank you" to everyone involved!

Actually, a "clean" sandtrooper does look pretty AWESOME! Are you sure you HAVE to make it dirty as hell?

Here's the LAST ONE on amazon.de (Germany) http://www.amazon.de/METAMORPH-GMBH-MASKE-Admiral-Ackbar/dp/B00001U00F

There's a famous costume shop in Vienna, I might find it there. They always have a big stock. Just LMK!

LOL guys I found one at a german shop. €49 (70USD) http://www.maskworld.com/german/products/masken/latexmasken--110/film-fantasy-filmmasken--1103/star-wars-admiral-ackbar-maske--R918 It's cheap, and it's Halloween typ-ish Edit: oops. It's temporarily out of order. I'm sure there are others.

What is really cheap in this hobby?

Have you checked the therpf.com?

Stay as far away as you can! there are several threads about this kind of armor here. Take a minute and look them up
