Sean Take a look over here, I think it answers a few of your questions ---------- Also check out Parts of Star Wars http://www.partsofsw.com/ I hope this helps mate

Joe Fantastic news mate Congratulations!!!!

Steve 100% right regarding the VT helmet molds , CAP gave them to him. Not sure about the armour, I was always under the impression that it was derived from AP Could be wrong

Sorry folks, no matter what your stand point may be regarding Chris and his work, I defy anybody not to say that this isn't one sweet helmet

Thayne VT armour is recast AP so that's why it caught you out mate Mark Nice set up mate You've done a nice job of fitting all those muscles in to that armour

Brian They work just great mate, I've never had a problem with 'em popping or anything. Here's mine in action

Manny I can't see any reason why you can't fix the rubber / latex guards to other type gloves other than rubber ones. They are only glued on to the backs so as long as you use an appropriate glue for the gloves that you're using you should be OK For fixing your ABS ones you may want to try one of TM's methods Paul Hope you don't mind me posting up this info? Manny I hope this helps mate

Mark I found a nice scratch on it after O2 and resisted the temptation to polish it out ( boy!, was that a tough thing to do) You're right mate, it does need a bit of the 'shine' knocked off it to look more like an on screen suit, but its hard not to want to keep a TM looking its best But I am trying to let it weather its self naturally and you'll be happy to know that I stopped cleaning and polishing it ages ago......Honest!

Also have to agree with Aaron's comments I love 'ULTRA ACCURATE' stuff , but I wouldn't have the rubber / latex hand guards set as a standard at this time. I would definitely have it as a recomended option for those who wish to aim for a more screen accurate look. As Aaron said, people have a misconceived idea of what the EIB (old Elite) programe is all about. And I think the true essence will only be communicated successfully through talking and showing people what the true intentions of it are. I was on a troop the other week and some of our crew members were asking me some questions about my armour, "why the elastic bands on the straps?",..."why hasn't your holster got loops?",....."doesn't your hands sweat in those rubber gloves?".... "why didn't you use stickers on your helmet?, are the lines meant to be like that?". After answering and explaining all the different reasons I could see excitment and satisfaction on some their faces and a glint of acknowledgement that they'd discovered something new,.....and they liked it ----------------- It's not just a slogan, its our ethos

Phillip Status now updated mate, it looks like a great set up you have there Welcome trooper

Mark Sloppy stunt?, (that's not Cockney rhyming slang by the way is it? ) You are having a laugh, that thing is beautiful mate Fantastic work there Sir!!!, I think the new owner is going to be one very happy bunny

Yerrp, Velcro is your chum, it holds mine nicely in place

Aaron oooow, now you've got me thinking Perhaps I've been staring at it so much that I'm starting to see THINGS its a bit like cloud watching and you swear that it looks like a lion with an hat chasing a squirrel Sorry folks I maybe going mad ....or am I <_<

SEEE!!!, its that bloody good its imposible to see with the naked eye!! Here ya go mate , I've hilighted it. You can see it better on the main picture. It looks like a quick paint job and or some ABS goop or glue Likewise mate,it was a pleasure to meet up and finally get a chance to have a right good chin wag Hopefully next time we can do it over a nice cold beer And may I say that I'm awaiting your new acquisition with bated breath Sir!

I love this photo, I can look at it for hours and never get tired of it Anyone else notice the rather niffty 'invisible mend' on the arm

Sorry to revive this thred but I found another little paper trooper whilst I was looking for some activities to keep my friends 2 boys entertained. Here's the link;- http://toysrevil.blogspot.com/2007/02/pepa...per-models.html And here's a copy of the template (sorry no E11 this time ) They also have a Boba, a Clone and a Vader on there as well Keeps them away from the X-Box for a few hours which can't be a bad thing

Jess The easiest way to post up photos is to join up on a free photo hosting site such as Photobucket or Flickr to name just a few.There are loads out there just have a nose around. Once you've joined, all you have to do then is copy the link to the photo and click this button and paste the code in and it will appear in the post. You can click on 'preview post' to see if you've done it right. Here's an example using Photobucket Direct Link= http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/B...ed95c1340_b.jpg After being pasted it should appear like this (but without the spaces after & before http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/Billhag/3033733255_7ed95c1340_b.jpg' alt='3033733255_7ed95c1340_b.jpg'> It looks like a great set up you have there matey and it would be a shame not to see it in all its full glory Hope this helps

James That's weird mate, you should be able to post in the 'Public Access' areas no problem. Zap the admin guys another mail and give them a nudge to ask them to look in to it for you. Dave's buttons are great and you shouldn't really have any problems with getting stung for duty but if you need some ab buttons in the UK, give TK-2233 (Chris Cherrington) a shout. He's one of the UKG's Armourers and he should be able to sort something out for you. You can PM him on here or you'll find his contact details over on the UKG. Hope this helps

Hi James Welcome to the FISD. As for posting and asking questions over on the UKG, its sounds to me like you haven't registered yet mate as you don't need to own a costume to sign up and join in with all the fun Click on this link and read the section "Visitors to this board - Please read first" and it will explain everything mate ukgarrison.com Hope this helps

How about a MOT or simlar blaster? Let me know and I'll sort one out

Acetate?

Eric You're all good to go mate. Next stop EIB

Matt Fantastic job mate, I love it!! well done Sir! One teeeeeney tiny little thing that I'd change would be the ends of the frown they seem to end a bit too square.Perhaps follow it through past the un cut last teeth on each side Brilliant work mate, and I'm so glad that you finally bit the bullet and got stuck into it and finished it off

Scott Status now updated, you're good to go matey
