stukatrooper Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Ive been home all day today and took the new suit off the Mannequin for some pictures ready for my 501st registration. This went ok at first got my green screen up on the wall set the camera up sort of and poped the suit on. now this is were it started to go wrong.First off i couldnt see a thing with the helmet on to set the timmer and every time i managed to hit the shot button i moved the camera. after a few goes i got it sorted,camera pressed ready for the shot "now did i set the timmer right,better check " CLICK GOES THE CAMERA SHUTTER . After some time and the radio and TV turned off so i could hear the beeps of the timmer on the camera i got a shot. No David Bailey but i had something to work with,i put everything away before i lost my cool and spent some time in photoshop. next time have someone to take the pictures. Quote
Nootch Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 i had a similar problem with trying to do my clearance pics, then i luckily remembered that my girlfriend is a photographer so carted my armor off to hers. nice armor though, and the death star shot is cool Quote
Stomper Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Not too shabby, Peter! Tell you what, if you are THAT unhappy with it I'm willing to help you out! Just send me that TK kit, your camera, and....50 quid, and I'll send you back some STELLAR photos of it! Quote
SuperTrooper Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Very nice armor, great job. So knowing your armor and holster maker, is elite in your future? Quote
stukatrooper Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 That would be my aim super T.The holster is there funny that its not in shot.Anyway i gave up on the whole idea of 501st pictures today,light not great .So it ended up as a bit of fun. Will get someone to take my 501st pics later in the week. Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Love the death star pic!! Great job Stuka Quote
Nootch Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 i'll undercut stomper, i have a camera already , and i'm in the uk so cheaper postage, so just send me your armour and 45 quid. although it may take a few years for me to do the pics but i promise i'll return your armour within the millenium Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Great pics, and I love the Death Star picture!!! That's some really sharp armor! Pardon my ignorance, but who's the armor manufacturer? Quote

FON Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Hey Stuka. Could I ask how tall you are w/ shoes off? I'm just gauging an idea of how my set will fit me. Quote
stukatrooper Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Posted July 7, 2008 im not the tallest trooper in town at 5'7" no shoes. My boots have insoles inside which takes me to 5'9" lol ,a little more respectable. Quote
TK:TK Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 This is a little freaky, but someone's wearing your clone trooper helmet as it sits on the shelf.... Take a look. For whatever trick of lighting and camera angle, there appears to be a human eye looking out through the helmet lens. Very strange.... You should ask him to leave. Quote
Nootch Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 i spotted that, but decided not to mention it in case it was haunted and came after me. i need to stop watching japanese horror movies. Quote

For whatever trick of lighting and camera angle, there appears to be a human eye looking out through the helmet lens. Very strange.... You should ask him to leave. As you might know the clone helmets have such a small opening to get your head in and out.to get round this i just unscrewed my head and left it in there. Quote

Of course!!! That explains why you had so much trouble with the timer on the camera. Now it all makes perfect sense.... Quote
Baxterianism Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Lovely Pics! Of course!!! That explains why you had so much trouble with the timer on the camera.Now it all makes perfect sense.... Quote
CureMode[TK] Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 You inspired me to do the same sort of thing for my laptop background.. Here is a small version of my mock up. Please let me know where you found that Death Star photo, the one I used was a rendered one. Quote
nice-biscuit Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Sharp looking armour. Is that your TM armour? Quote
