Good to see you up and about mate. Going Off topic......you heard the good news about Rossi?

Andy1942 has them from time to time. All fully legal deacs. Doing his wedding reception was an eye opener with us 2 tk's weilding platic/resin replicas and kids aged 5 and up strolling around with deacs of the real thing. lol

Nope. My IE is a much older version and has exactly the same issues I'm afraid.

For $250 I very much doubt it I'm afraid.

Well that would explain the innaccuracies and excessive clean up.

Well know producer of over priced, low quality crap. But thats enough about SDS. Avoid this guy. Well know producer of over priced, low quality recasted crap.

And havent you already got a thread discussing prety much the same thing mate? http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=20387&hl=&fromsearch=1

Its a random pair of letters used as a prefix to identify 1 trooper in ANH. Nothing more. Hell, it was even different in the novela so it can't have been that important or thought through at the time.

If by stormtroopers site you mean stormtroopershop.com or Jedi robe.....Avoid like the plague mate.

A good point well made Karin. 4 times!

Yep, they all should look pretty much like that. Karin: Now he's finished with the Batman franchise...who knows.

And THAT is from a guy who: a) should know what he's talking about after all and has numerous film credits to his name and a book highlighting his sculpting talents published. Unlike that angle grinder wielding ,talentless knob of a canoe maker. EDIT: forgot to add Liar! P.S. brians book is well worth a read and available here: http://www.brianmuir...obiography.html

Sorry to be blunt but, sadly yes. http://www.therpf.com/f9/aa-sds-recasting-issue-2226/ http://www.therpf.com/f9/origins-aa-sds-armor-1553/ http://www.originalprop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lucasfilm-vs-Ainsworth-High-Court-of-Justice-Court-of-Appeal-Ruling.pdf http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=13848&hl=ainsworth&fromsearch=1 Thread started by the guy who DID asculpt the original armour: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=13614&hl=ainsworth&fromsearch=1 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=11328&st=20&hl=ainsworth#entry144744 Just a little light reading for you. Please help spread the word. Respectfully, Matt

ATA thermal det tube comes in the US size pipe whereas the clips appear to be made for the accurate UK size pipe which, as you may have guessed, is larger in diameter. The ATA end caps and plate were sculpted specifically to fit the us size pipe generations back. Perhaps you could un rivet/screw the metal clips, shorten them, rebend gently to correctly curve around the TD and drill and rivet/screw them again.

Whereas Ainsworths crud is a crime against the pop/costuming community. Hear that scraping sound? Thats the bottom of the bilge let alone the barrel.

You gotta do what you gotta do. Besides, putting a few obstacles in the way is good for weeding out the numpties from those with a genuine interest.

A please/basic manners works wonders.

Good to hear your back up and running Rob.

With you on that one bud. Stunning as always Paul.

If you knew just how much body filler was used to plug pin holes on Aston's carbon body parts you would use a different comparison. lol BOT: RS are stunning lids and pics do not even do them justice. I have a kidney for sale should anyone wish to purchase it /exchange for an RS for my collection.

As will Novus or ANY abrasive polish over time. But as Vern says, steer clear of T cut as its way to harsh.

About bloody time. I was begining to think he had abandoned the site. Surprised there is still nothing on the loft find and subsequent RS props products. But then given the amount of time you guys have had to wait to be featured I look forward to his next update in 2014.

Not trying to take the P but..... Have you tried quieter fans? Sometimes these things get overlooked for the more complicated.

Looking good so far, however: As suggested above I would lift the drop boxes closer to the belt just a smidge if you can and the knee plate is a little low but I cannot see either being a clearance issue.
