[SW1]

Blimy steve that is on of the best photo shoots i have ever seen ,remember mate this forum has a lot of young members and we don't want pictures like this corrupting their yong minds.

 

This is top shelf stuff mate ,If i were you i would double the guard and dead lock the front door (we know were you live lol)

 

Wonderful display and boy what a subject.

 

Edit:

[SW1]

Your welcome Pete!

 

I'm just glad more people are starting to think like me and want to have armour exactly how it was made back in the day. I hope we see many more truly screen accurate armours in the future.

Ehehe Thank you!

 

Eh, I remember old times, when my armor used to be the best one around... *sigh*

 

Could you guys please stop raising the bar?!??

 

Btw, I weathered mine a bit yesterday, but the semigloss of your painted one is PERFECT!!!

 

Your armor is incredible, but IMHO it would be killer if paired with a Gino helmet, even the new TM still looks a bit "off" to me.

 

I'll get this combo... then I'll be the Master again MWUAHHAHHHA!!!

I think some of TM helmets are a little fat, and match the Hero-Luke style better then generic Stunt.

But not all of them. Infact, one of the last four helmets TM sold on this bay matched the "move along" style as never seen before to me.

Imho of course.

yes thats why Paul keeps perfecting and perfecting , IMO it looks like the stunt helmets were a little oversized maybe giving it a bit of a fat look but that is IMO , dont get me wrong i luv the Gino to you have a very nice one your self Daniele .

Well, I can't pinpoint that precisely, I think it's the proportion between mouth and eyes width, or the "chin" dimension...

 

But Maybe I'm just too used to the TE2 look

 

The other day I tried squishing mine at eye-level and it looks much better I just have to find a way to keep it there!

ahh i see , would i be right in saying the beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[lightside]

Which helmet are you talking about? Maybe the last I asked for? I've never told anyone to have a Gino (and infact I don't have any).

Just a question (only for curiosity, not more):

We know the ANH stunt helmets were grey/green poor plastic (not ABS) white painted, and this is the reason why I consider this amrour the most accurate so far, over the rest of the job. But should this display a specific stormtrooper character seen in ANH? I do not rememeber a stormtrooper with a helmet so weathered (I've just seen the upper part of the dome in the other thread and it is very "ruined"), this is why I ask.

The helmet is a replica of the Set for stun stormtrooper, Paul asked if i wanted it weatherd as it was in the the movie or how the helmet is today , and i wanted the display to look like how the armour and helmet would look today , i guess i will have to get some more scuffs and marks on the armour , and i will be adding some white duct tape on the chest plate as the Set for stun trooper had in ANH. ohh i love the quest for accracey .

 

Just to let you know Daniele, i pm Jez just waiting his repley

Got it. And yes... your choice is logical and I agree with that. So you're simulating as you took possession of a screen used armor for real. Amazing!

 

Jez normally takes his time to reply and to update his site, but he always replies.

Glad you like it Steve.

 

Took some doing mate, I can tell you. You don't realise just how much paint is actually chipped off the SFS helmet until you start doing the masking Overall I think it came out very nicely. I don't fancy doing another for a while though

Thats it mate , if i can fool people when they see it for real i am well happy .

 

 

@Paul,

I know that was quite a bit of work you done on the helmet mate ,but it was well worth the end result and dont be silly course you will do another soon , thats why i commend and salute you sir ,

[zenwalker]

Again, incredible work!

[Dmian]

Wow! just... wow...

 

You're starting to make me feel a bit of envy (and I'm not the kind of guy who usually feels envy).

 

Someday... I hope.

 

I'm just glad for you.

And Paul... the guy is an artist.

Many Thanks Dameian and Jesse it means a lot , and may Paul keep makeing his work of art and his got it bang on with the accuracey of the 1977 armour when you put it on you really do feel you have step back on to the movie set in 1977, and this is good to see troopers building there armour the same way now like the straping method and to get there armour as accurate as the origanals , its so wounderfull to see
