thats the next thing I have to do with my thermal det

thanks Jez , I would have never known that

The cool thing about the FX for me, is that I don't feel guilty about cutting into it, and playing hard in it

Thanks! Yeah it is is reliable when you start cutin it up!

I have never worked with PVC, but styrene it all depends on who makes it, how well it is molded, and how thick it is...it does have a shelf life, but made properly can last a long time

do you mean the total helmets made for each shoot of the film, or styles of helmets made for ANH?

Thanks Jez, it definately helped me...thank you for sharing this information with us and the cool pictures!

no, I don't think so it would be very uncomfortable, and heavy...it would really put a downer on your first troop if you can only last 45 minutes in your helmet

I used velcro on my old plastic belt, and I too will never go back to the plastic

wow...thats alot of info

I wouldn't look at it as having problems with trimming, I would look at it as having allot of fun customising your armor to yourself, so it is no one elses, but your own creation

Oh thats cool, I wish I had that luxury for my ROTJ

Yes, that is definately an FX kit heres some pics of my old FX suit...before I cut it up and up ghraded it...

Cool! the thread lives on

Is the modded hasbro blaster acceptable for Mark IV though?

its classified...

Yeah, unfortunately, that is a character that didn't get too much screen time

I know...But that may be a good thing

My opinion is that it is too expensive for a re-pop of an FX...plus the fiberglass will be heavier than the regular FX helmet...I am sure, that buy the time you complete your armor, you will have enough money to get a better helmet, or get a good deal on a hand me down FX...Just don't go out and buy something like this on impulse, because if you do, you will probably be spending more money in the long run.

Can you post a link here?

BUMP! I am giving this thread a boost, since there are so many new members on this forum... So...I ask all of you "NEW PEOPLE"... What makes you who you are? What makes you tick? What do you do for a living? What other passions do you have? Other Hobbies and such? Married or Not? Kids? if I left anything out please fill free to add your own questions

yeah, he's not on my A list either

can you do push ups, run, and jump in it to?

It took me a good three months dialing in my FX armor, from taking it out of the box, to my practice troops in it

Yes! the FX kit can be worked with as long as you want to put the time into it, and have the patience to do so
