Mr Laws Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I guess its no longer an issue to recast ANH stuff. Let the flood gates open boys and come out of yer closets... I'm not sure I follow you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter davis Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Nice Helmet Dan. Fantastic work and great detail. Can't wait to sport one. Well if you can recast then I can too right? So can CAP, SDS, MATT, VT, ETC... Cool Mike, Question: Just who exactly are you accusing Dan of recasting? An original ANH helmet or recasting his own work? Dan uses some stuff, In his molds that costs over 500 dollars a gallon and is PERMANATE. No adjustments. If he then decides later to make a mold change: Opps OMG recasting his own molds. Can't get around it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Jax Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dan has an archive of his own, that's how it is. End of conversation. Now let's get one of these daisies painted up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpin Jax Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well we all have archives, I suggest we "refine" our castings too. I am nowhere near done. You guys are all puppets. You mean the ones Dan made? Yes, please do continue to embarrass Tony in this fit you're throwing. Rant on, I will not reply to you again.

cooter davis Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 He was the artist, not the owner. Thats like saying Paul Mccartney can't modify his own beatles works because Michael Jackson owns them all..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's gotten to the point that there are so many helmet makers out there feeding off the Dave M and Brian R carcasses that I dont care anymore. Hows the quality? Good? ok then make lots of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Laws Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 All I can say is you better make sure I dont get ahold of one because I will fill that bastard with resin and send it to CAP, SDS, VT, MFX, TE2, RT-MOD and TM myself!!!! Mike, I was the one who recast the very first screen used ANH helmet that TE owned. I packed the face and Curtis (AKA Megatron) on the RPF did the cap/back. That first casting is what Tony has now. I made all of Tony's molds. Your armor came from my molds. What is wrong with you man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GINO Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hi everybody! Sorry I've been away so long. Seems like everyone is here. Jax, Dan, and Cooter Davis aka Matt G(TE) or whatever name he's going by nowadays to sockpuppet on forums he's been banned from. Mike, can I say I TOLD YOU SO now? I feel sorry for Tony, but from where I'm standing, he's in line behind mysef, GF, and a few others. Just for the record I'd like to throw my opinion out there about this new helmet. It's nice. Nice and idealized, re-worked and over-sharpened. What happened to all the warts that are supposed to be there? That detail in the teardrops is NOT how it looks on the film helmets. I'm the only one with a faceplate mold that has those tear details intact. I know because I was there when it was removed from the molds sent back to matt. Pretty smart huh? I have to hand it to my partner at the time to remove that tear detail as well as "adjust" the other surface details to a point where you could never achieve a screen accurate pull. Makes it easy to spot recasts. It was genius of him. We've NEVER offered up a helmet with the tear details present and for good reason. I just wanted to give my .02c If you are one who likes a cleaned up idealized version of helmet, then that's your choice and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Everyone has their preferences and their reasons. In other words, I'm not bagging on those who really like this new helmet. But when I see people running around saying things like, most accurate helmet ever... I just can't let that slide because it couldn't be less true. Until someone takes castings from the inside of another screen used ANH helmet, it is impossible for them to achieve a helmet closer to the film helmets than the molds I have will produce. That's a fact. Anyone else who says different is trying to sell you something. Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get down with a statement like that. Just not when people go saying "the most accurate". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
