Mate that is serious bad news,,, really sorry to hear that. If i lived closer i would take you out for a pint or two. Life can be hard at times, but im a firm believer that things happen for a reason. sometime in the future you will look back and think that they did you a big favour. Ive been made reduntent in a job before,,, it was horrible at the time(in fact it was one of the worst feelings) also When i split up with my wife and kids i thought it was the end of the world, but now im a lot happier and i more or less can do what i want, when i want. (still see the kids every wednesday and other weekends) Hope you can see the light at the end of the tunnel dude. If i can help in any way, you know where to find me. keep your chin up son cheers mate

That would be very helpfull. cheers

Heres some pics of the plaster cast that came from the mold. I had to do a little bit of touching up as there were some bumps and lines that shouldnt be there. These pictures show the mold compared to a piece of fx armor Ive started on the other section to the forearm. Im using the existing clay to build upon. cheers

any pictures guys of your new aquisitions? cheers

paul i really appreciate that. Thanks for all the help and advice you have given me.. Daetrin your another that i look up to, thanks also. cheers

Hi guys, as you know ive taken a slightly different rout with the mold making process. It took a few days to get the mold done, then after more resaerch i remved the indents section. I added more contours to the overall shape. Then the top part was added and sculpted again. So far its take about 2 weeks on and off. I used some hips cut to size for the edging sections. different angle.. as you can see ive added a wall of clay. Next up was using gelflex whic needs heating to 200 degrees. This was spooned and poured on. Then i put a plaster sleeve/caot over the top. This is to hold the shape of the gelfex. # Once a few days has passed i turned the mold upside down and filled in with some more plaster to creat the male mold with which i will vac form off. I will post some more after tomorrow of the final plaster cast mold/plug cheers

Bernard you have been busy! Ita all looking very good and presise. i just love seeing this in progress. Brilliant....keep up the good work trooper. cheers

pm sent.... or try this thread Curtis's build cheers

hi dude. ones to look at are TM -troopermaster T*E -Trooper expert RT Mod- Rob? faceplate originates from a T*E i believe All the above are quality. There are recasts around....but recast is like a swear word in the prop comunity! Altmans is ok ish but not acurate enough for my personal liking Avoid rubies at all costs! hope this is some incite,but do look around the web as thats half the fun of finding stuff out yourself. Jez's Helmet site is a good start. cheers

Hi i know firebladejedi does the canvas belts, im sure others make them as well. If you look at curtis's thread, he made one himself. ----- hope this helps you. cheers

I like my own band. Visit My Website But i prefer bands like The cooper temple clause joy division mansun the cure New order souxie and the banshees the subways Bauhaus cocteau twins 22 20's Echo and the bunnymen Electric six placebo Prodigy the music the smiths u2 early stuff The legendry too drunk, plus loads of others and also classical music and some folk music.

Cheers for posting the pics paul...amazing as per usuall. still waiting to see you do a vader sculpt though. maybe do a version for your son first, then scale it up. cheers Mr TROOPERMASTER.

Hi, most people tend to go for ANH as its the purist stormtrooper out there,youve also got the stunt and hero versions. To be honest i havnt seen that many esb version around. Rotj again are not as popular and apart from other things edging around parts of the armor. here's an informative site that might help. Scroll to the bottom of the page for comparison links --------------- hope this is a little insite cheers

interesting ...most interesting. thanks for posting dude

curtis im soo proud almost like a father...... cheers

here you go............ --------------- cheers

wow.. congratulations mate. the beers are on you!

good post there sir. many thanks

just out of interest, what make is the armor and where did you obtain it?? cheers

Anytime my friend ...anytime (The background picture was from celebration europe here in the uk.) cheers curtis

Ive checked his feedback and i think you should be fine with this seller (i would buy from him) Its only going to be 13/15 quid so i reckon its worth risking. You could give us a review as well . cheers

Hi Rob. Brilliant to have you here and to learn a bit about the history of your armor. I would love to see some pics of your molds, as i am "having a go" myself. many thanks chef

Looking good. Keep us posted with updates cheers

I found this on the uk e-bay. I have one and it seems like a good cheap option. The mic is hotglued in. item no. 200155107645 cheers

Gday, Ive heard that the triktoys amps are a bit of a waste of money. There is a new amp thats just coming out. there is some sample links at the end of the thread. http://whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=664 I personally haven't tried it myself. Also Look on you tube for daves garage vids as he has done a cheaper alternative. Hope this helps Cheers
