the pics i emailed are about 5 times the size of these so they can zoom in for detail. as far as i'm aware, the only mods i need for elite are, but the butt, new holster (name down for one) attached behind the belt, ANH e-11 (being painted as we speak) and black rubber gloves which i've got my name down for (with latex backs). you can't tell from these pics but the tube stripes are dark blue same color as the ab buttons which i got from vaderdave, and the canvas belt is from firebladejedi. only problem was i'd had surgery not long before these pics were taken so couldn't do my underbelt properly which is why the right thigh is hanging lower.

these are the pics i sent for clearing, i just hope they're suitable i've had a haircut since then.

sent my photos last night, i hope they're ok. filled in the appliction on the main site months ago, so hopefully it'll all come together.

thats fantastic. me want.

just sent an email to sign up for the boards. hopefully the process will hurry along now. *update* now on the forum. filled in the application and just need to email my photos, then sit back and wait (hopefully not long) to get clearance.

still hanging, and the annoying thing is i couldve spoken to tony in person the other weekend but he was to busy vadering and before i knew it he was gone.

a few weeks after the paint on mine cured i waxed it using zymol car wax. gave it a nice finish and it smelled pretty good too. , it should help with the rub spots but you'll have to re wax it pretty much once a month.

i was also looking at the extras that didn't come with the MR, such as the counter and cylinders, plus there are some little flaws on mine that are also on this one. so we've discovered an new recaster.

i think that actually is one of makerofthings blasters, looks identical to the one i bought from him

you also need to replace the black elastic holding your drop boxes on. i believe it needs to be white.

its not a very clean pull thats for sure the right ear looks all warped.

i can sit ok in mine even without cutting the butt, however the transition between sitting and standing and vice versa is a little awkward

still tempted to get one, but not sure if i'd have the time to do the full mod, if i did i think i would try heating the bottom of the right eye to see if i could get the bulge in before painting it. give a bit of asymmetry

looks totally gnarled, but i agree, a nice find.

hope you took the guys badge number and lodged a formal complaint. something similar happened not far from me in the uk. some kids kept kicking a ball against this old guys wall, he complained to the police but they said they couldn't do anything without proof, so the guy took pictures of the kids one day when they were doing it and called the police again. when they showed up he showed them the photos and rather than help him, they told him that he shouldn't be taking the pictures because people might think hes a peadophile, and they took his camera away. sadly there are some awful cops out there. not a lot as most are good guys but theres still a few who don't deserve the authority given to them.

how loud is it, i have a ROM/FX but its just the classic and isn't really mega loud.

looks great, sadly i can't do it to mine as its GRP not ABS

the difference is amazing, looks like the only give away factor that it is a CE is the eyes they are a strange shape on the CE. amazing work though. i may buy one and send it to you for overhauling

make one green and one grey, that should please everyone. i'm not helping am i?

cheers, you gave me something to do instead of my work. very interesting read.

my armour is fiberglass and its a fair weight when stored in its box, i'd say about 7 or 8 kilos, but once its rigged up the weight is distributed evenly so i don't notice. and its nice and strong, very rigid which gives it a more armour like feel.

i struggled but managed to get my FX done by myself, it helps if you have lots of masking tape and plenty of clamps. it will also involve glueing yourself to the inside for 10 minutes and swearing a lot if my memory serves me correctly.

very nice. as john said one can never have enough.

they eyes just look a little large is all. but look at it this way if you pull it off you will have your own unique 1 of a kind helmet and rig.

great stuff, you painting the tears and traps or using decals?
