  1. With those measurements they did a pretty good job on mine. The legs are fantastic. Really well tapered down to the knee. Had to do some little tweaks but overall I'm very happy with mine. Good luck!
  2. Wow. If that isn't giving the finger to CGI I don't know what is...
  3. Ok how about this... I'm standing around at an event in my Blackhole/shadow stormtrooper get-up with a couple of TKs. I've also got a bright orange captain's pauldron on. And an E-11. <br><br> Guy comes up to me and sez 'aren't you a bit short for a Darth Vader'?<br><br> Was he being clever and basing his joke on the suggestion that a stormtrooper might harbour a case of hero-worship to the extreme that he adopts the distinctive colour scheme of his idol? Or could he really not see that I looked almost exactly like my companions (apart from being a different shade of plastic) and almost nothing like Big Dave (apart from the same shade of plastic)?<br><br> So trying to provide an appropriate punch-line, and failing miserably I just said<br><br> 'Yes I am'.
  4. I recently encountered this guy on my continuing quest for various random armour parts... detailing looked soft as mentioned above. Glad I checked what you guys had to say about it!
  5. Awesome. The Incinerator looks fantastic. But the pint-sized trooper seems to have been the life of the party! Kids' suits in 1977 didn't look quite as good as that!
  6. Depleted uranium is always a good option if you really want that authentic blaster feel...
  7. There are perks to being a character in a video game. Like not having to worry about how your shoulder plates are going to stay on...
  8. So what happened to the Imp. Commando helmet run? IC fans everywhere want to know!
  9. And is that reflective tape on the teeth? Looks very metallic. Cool!
  10. Awesome looking helmet. I'd love to know what make it is.
  11. Shiv, Awesome to see the big blaster in action. Glad it found such a good home! Has the old lady found out yet? LOL TC
  12. Its an agonizing wait for their intended helmet/shoulder bells run. Hopefully they will still do it. Usually I am not that into customs but these guys changed my mind.
  13. My buddy was working as a games designer at the time, and I think it had something to do with a project he was working on with George and Co. Perks of the job you know? That blaster is definately a rebel model- from the Endor landing team maybe?
  14. I thought you ROTJ TKs would like to see this image. Taken of a friend of mine when he went round the Lucasfilm prop stores. I guess it doesn't tell you very much, but its another sighting of an original screen-used (I presume) helmet to add to the pile. T
