bip Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 If I am posting this in the wrong area, I am sorry. I came across a seller on ebay selling armor, just wondering if this particular seller's company is selling recast or not. Looks like their base of operation is at the Philippines. I don't think I am allow to say the name of this particular company or the ebay link. please help here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...rksid=p3907.m29 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 He's a known recaster. Stay away. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Don't buy it, don't buy it, don't buy it. He is a recaster who has a very shady criminal history. Quote
bip Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Posted April 26, 2008 thanks for the info. I will definitely stay away. Quote
The_Trooper Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 You can go to: http://www.studiocreations.com/howto/index.html I bought my FX kit there last week, they also have shadow scout, black-hole troopers and normal stormtroopers. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Also our very own Deckard fronts quality kits: http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=1898, which is nice because you don't pay markup on the rest of the items that you can source yourself. This is all FX though, and our hobby extends beyond that. There are other makes - do some research before buying is always key. Quote
Murray1134[501st] Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Over on clonetroopers.net there is a warning about buying clonetrooper armor off ebay. It seems like that there really is no decent seller of clone armor using ebay, from what I read over there. Quote
Amish Trooper Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 plus they advise against starfortress.com Quote
kroenen77 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 But his ROTS-Vaderarmor looks very nice. Quote
bip Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Posted April 27, 2008 I notice their clone troopers look very nice too. Too bad they are recasters. <_< If anyone know of a good place for getting clone armor, please send me a message. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 Well you may want to check out the clone forums. They are Clone Troopers Network, and Clone Empire. You will get more info that you probably thought possible. Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 I notice their clone troopers look very nice too I asked the same very question a few days ago, Got warned about them aswell. Their Clone armour does look very nice but stay away. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 It's easy - just throw out your morals. Recast someone's hard work (unlike TKs there's no screen used clone suits, so each one is 100% hand sculpted from scratch) using illegal labor, then just coat with plenty of paint which for all we know contains high amounts of lead, etc. Then rake in near 100% profit, as you stole the sculpts and pay nothing for labor. Enjoy your time fully on earth, as you're assuredly damned in the afterlife. Yeah, I have no strong feelings on this subject ;-) Quote
kiyotei[TK] Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 Daetrin, I'm really surprised you don't take a strong stance against recasting Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 I wouldn't know where to start on making some armour but i can imagine how must time and effort it takes to make some. Shame some people try and make a profit from it. p.s Anyone know who this person recast from? Quote
kroenen77 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 He has recasted from another recaster..and he from another..and,and,and...it´s a horror...if I don´t want,that someone recasts my work,I don´t sell it.Recasting is a f***,but it´s a part of life...I think all of us bought recastet parts in the past.You can´t know all handbuilders in the world.And who is telling the truth?If I am looking for an nonrecastet Armor,I would ask in the RPF-Forum. The ROTS-Vaderarmor looks like an Rubiesrecast..also whats the problem?I can´t ask Rubies to make me a fiberglasarmor.I think that´s ok!? Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 A very interesting read about SFP: http://www.clone-empire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=820 Quote
Amish Trooper Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah I linked that today in the nco section topic title starfortress vs skygunbro..he is funny Quote
