Geekin' Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm pretty lucky to chat with Walt on occasion, busy guy LOTS of kids more on the way God bless!! He's mentioned the lineage, that's just icing on the cake for me because I love the way the helmet looks! The armor looks great too! I had better calm down it's to late tonight to start into it and my Girlfriend will be here tomorrow and she'll find me sleeping in the box and ABS all around me!!

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I see, thanks for clearing that up. Mark He's the same dude that makes the kids TK. I have two of those helmets from him.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 There is a subtle difference between the AP ears and the Gino ears... lot's of little things are different in the cap n back on walt's lids compared to the AP cap. The faceplates are very subtle difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
