Its not from Caleb's suit. The suit it came from was partly, or mostly destroyed during the casting proccess as matt has said. As for why I believe him, well some of the remains are still attached to the moulds. Primarily on the chest and cod. Apparently he left out the mould release and had to cut off the existing suit just to get to the moulds. Besides the arms and legs were (and still are) fused together on Caleb's suit. Not exactly easy for taking moulds.

Thanks for the stabb at attempt Joe. Top act

Yep up for sale. Bought them for a personal project which is no longer a priority. Life goes on

Since the "update" I noticed the "View new posts" link, became "view new content". But looking today, its gone altogether. There are far too many forums to manually search through. Its beyond easier clicking the view new posts/content link every time. Can it be resurrected?

That helmet is not from the Matizza moulds. Those did not include the brow, or neck trim in the casting like this one does. Super nice helmet mate.. quite a mystery as to where it came from

The Oakley suit only had one original bell. The original suit was also sent to Matt in one hit inc. all parts. With the exception of the obviouse missing components. This is what I was told from Cameron a little while ago. So Caleb your suit is correct.

Yes, whatever the issues are regarding differences to your moulds Joe - all stem back to how Matts ROTJ was moulded.

Have a look under the chin/mictip areas.. no cap is pushed n/warped like that. Its a ROTJ feature. Its the same on the first TE ROTJ, as it should be, because its from the FIRST TE ROTJ. I own one of the ealier models, and its no spring chicken. It is quite apparent the new one comes from it. The same problems have carried over to the new version. The only difference is; is that the new face has been sharpened. Which IMO makes it look more correct, to how it actually was (save for the chin/vocoder which now looks too sharp). Anyway, the orginal TE ROTJ helmet had its moulding issues all the same, and they have come through on this one aswell. And as for the back cap, its from a TE ROT aswell. Same strange profile shape as the old version... sit it next to a cap/or TE ANH and its completely different in its curvature. Thats about the most basic way of saying... ITS NOT FROM A CAP. Although I'm sure there will be those that will believe him regardless

Thats not correct.

Well that has to be a new record for sure.

Truely brilliant Jez

Amazing shot man. Very mean looking trooper you have there. I'm happy to see you all kitted up after our first chat a few months ago... if not a year ago. Thanks for the kudo's on the trim. I'm just happy your the bloke who ended up with it. Again, love the shots! Take care

Thats pretty cool look'n

Nice new pics of the ABS suit Caleb. Will be cool to see it on you!

Shouldn't take too long. 24hrs will see you clear (no pun intended).

I was down for four previously. I still want 4 sets, maybe in a month or so... Right now I'm on leave, and money is tight.

That colour looks pretty good Joe.. like its been in the hot sun for a few years. Appliance white is a good go between I have found when painting helmets.

Nice looking helmet Joe.

Don't know about that armour.... but that trim looks amazing! hehe

Thanks Mike for the brilliant pics! Very generouse of you

Yes my apologies Paul. I forgot to mention I commend you on your actions, and your quick wit to have this fellow removed. Well done! A step forward is still a step forward is it not.

Out them then, you cannot complain no one listens unless you try it. If they are two faced and playing the field, then list their forum names... I'm sure both "hobbies" would care to know who they are infact dealing with.

Those who have recast a CAP (or any other recaster) with their "permission" are no different. Its still part of a tainted line so to speak. To ban this "DavetheDane" fellow, and yet let the others stay idle is... well biased. I have nothing to do with this dave bloke, but I did find it funny how the main supporters here turned to canibalism when he showed his cards. So why is it deamed appropriate to recast TE, yet TE2 is a no fly zone? I'm a fan of TE2, and he knows me well enough to see what I'm getting at here. There is a said 'treaty' between Matt and CAP so it is told, however no proof has ever been shown. TE says "There's no such thing"... So as per usual its still word against word.

Personally, I'd be very warey of that blokes stuff. He has a second helmet he "made" which looks to be a recast off of a TE HDPE. The helmet your looking at though looks like an RT-MOD or subsequent cast. Steer well clear, you will only be dissapointed.

Great find! The tooth looks black to me, ie not reflecting the actors skin, like the teeth holes next to it. If that makes any sense...
