Congrats mate! Well done on the armour you look great - must have been the photographer that made you look good!..lol Put another Shrimp on the BBQ! PeZ

Is the Thermal Detonator gray all round? Looks like you have reflective strips?? Otherwise nice armour you have there!

Speaking of holding E-11's, I took these pics of my mates home made blaster. A few measurements from the net and some odds N ends, paint and hey presto! ---------- Very light to hold in any hand.

maybe someone here can compete with Doopies and make us a set of hasbro up kits?....seems to be a market/business opportunity there me thinks??

you might want to try this guy - he has 8 pages of the stuff http://www.looksirdroids.com/hd_caps/index.htm

When your bucket is on, try not to smile when photos are been taken of you by the public/fans.

Don't they know who their dealing with....how dare they! We are the EMPIRE! We blast to kill (if we can aim straight) I just keep getting Viagra emails.

Smithz Unfortunately I have never bought anything of you but you have given advise, links and contacts. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU BRO

I told you it would look stunning outside. Try a more neutral colored background so it doesn't detrack from the blaster details. awesome

you mean a centre piece?me think he should scratch up the add on's - like the T tracks to make it it look more realistic! Sskunky take photos of it without direct camera flash - bounce it if you can - the blaster will come up even better in pics.

wow fan-tas-tic! keep it like that do a resin cast of it and paint the copy black. Nice job mate!

Looking like Dennis the Menace! I would paint the insides white on some parts as its a bit see through'ish Good work matey!

yes I dare say it would be a trip not a troop.

sorry SGT...but I thought its worth a look as he has done an amazing job of it all. He sent a little video fileof it and it looks better than the real movie prop if I do say so - but the pants are solid brass so you cant really move as much as Anthony did.

Portumac's ALL BRASS/METAL C-3PO Life-SIZE Bust Prop Replica. Only 4 of these were made. Each part was hand made. The arms have real working pistons, the eyes light up, the shoes are also made of brass and have a hidden open & close mechanism. found on evilbay

Finished and looking hot! It's not my suit but buckets off to the guy who made it!

thanks for clarifying that - I couldn't find anywhere on the 501 site who's in and who's out as far as TK makers.

Um?.....what happened to the cutting, sanding, filing, swearing and gluing?? Out of the box - too easy mate! Looks good cant wait to see you strike a pose in it SupaTrooper

from my mate CRYPTO (TAG) I glued a threaded tube in side so I can unscrew the end and put keys or change in. he used a tube housing that stores a skipping rope - off to the sports shops me goes!

Spraying your non-black boots is best for that even clean finish and then top it off with some clear gloss. RedaV's Method in its Madness 1: Prepared the boots with a product called Septone - Wax & Grease Remover you can get it from car accessory shop, then wipe them over with Mentholated Spirits 2: Masted up the soul with masking tape, also the pull tabs 3: Sprayed 3 light coats of Silver Leather paint (from shop repair shop) 4: Sprayed 3 light coats of White leather paint (as bove) 5: Remove tape from the sole 6: Sprayed 3 light coats of Extra Gloss over boot & soal (as bove) Wait till dry then wear! no flaking or cracking Instant CABoots, good luck (note:wear your new boots in before spraying)

That's bloody fantastic for us newbies here! A pictorial to see every stage -what a great instruction manual this will be at the end.
