Runnriottt Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Fon is selling his molds. Interesting. "as the plastic burns" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Its always good to see someone trash talking TE, even on Ebay. Reap what you sow Matt. This is a good opportunity for someone with a vac table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 after looking at the condition of the plugs , you would have to do alot of work to get them up to snuff. i wonder if they come with the master moulds to make new plugs.

Sonnenschein Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 The TE ROTJ Moulds from Matt Gauthier's '09 run of Stormtrooper suits. Now up for sale due to financial hardship. I bought these off Matt Gauthier (aka, self labeled "Trooperexpert") mid 2009 with ideas in mind to make *myself* a very accurate, and true to production ROTJ Stormtrooper replica for display. Hoping to use these TE moulds in conjunction with Cameron Oakley's original moulds, which I was very thankfully given on loan! Unfortunately I'm no longer in a position where I can afford to spend large quantities of money on props, or the hobby anymore. So my loss is your gain. I will be returning Cameron's moulds back to him, and then forwarding these to their new owner after the completion of this auction. The moulds are complete from head to toe for ROTJ Stormtrooper armour. Sorry I'm unable to include every picture in this listing of all components due to the Ebay limit of only 12 pictures. Rest assured all components are included ; face plate, back/cap, left and right arm moulds, shoulders, chest and back moulds, cod and butt moulds, left and right leg moulds, TD cannister and ammo belt moulds. ALL IS INCLUDED. If "Buy It Now" is used I will throw in a free complete Left arm (bell, bicep, forearm, handplate) from an LFL tour suit. I was saving it to re-mould and use as a fill in for the duplicated right arm parts on the TE suits. Still attached is a beautiful ROTJ shoulder bell, which is far superior in shape and looks when compared to the TE ROTJ bell. Don't bother with "TE's" new run offering of stormtrooper suits. The *new* moulds he is using are in fact recasts from the pulls he made off of these moulds, making them not only softer in detail but also a lot smaller. On a side note - Check the forums. TE is a LIER and a CHEAT, and you'd be lucky to get anything resembling what was promised off of him. Beware! This is coming from personal experience. I honestly hope whoever buys these moulds will knock TE out of business for good, and send a little karma his way... These are vacuuforming moulds. They are very sturdy, and will create dozens of replica suits as seen in the Star Wars movies. For personal use or whatever you wish. Pretty easy to make your cash back. Please no time wasters. I need to buy a new car to get to work and back. Thanks for looking! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 what he has pictured is plugs, not moulds. moulds would be used to make new plugs once yor old ones where out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm going to lean forward a bit on this one . . . Please do not turn this thread into another "let's bash TE" experience - whether he deserves it or not. We're all aware of his past (and some would say current) business practices, and relationship with the FISD and it's membership. If you wish to discuss the molds up for auction, fine. But let's refrain from any personal score-settling. Thanks for your understanding. As always, the staff will be watching . . . <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 You know they're going to end up in the right place if Tony gets 'em. At the least, it would be a reliable vendor of ROTJ style armor. I would worry as pointed out how much work would be involved in maintaining them.

JoeR Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I was negotiating to buy these from Chris but a friend has just warned me off. If TE sold his JEDI moulds to GINO 10 plus years ago then where did these come from? Why is the cap/back all wrong? I have been told this morning that these are recast from one of TE's own suits and that TE is about to do yet another run of these. Caveat emptor fellas especially when doing anything that involves TE. Perhaps GINO will clarify if these are the same as his moulds from the pictures... From my point of view the helmet moulds look nothing like either of my moulds from original JEDI helmets that I have seen in person.

Was trying to work out the backwards writing and why it was familiar and found this: Pics from thread "first edition" TE rotj styrene armor" http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=9459 And this pic from the ebay auction: Notice "Kit 02A" written on the inside? Seems its recasted from that amour set. Something people probably should be aware of with the amount of money he's asking.

JoeR Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No offence to Chris, he is one of the good guys and a stand up bloke all round. I just think TE has been a naughty boy yet again. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
