Hi all

This is the guy i got my multi coloured helmet from that I made HDPE.

 

Not a bad price, has anyone had any dealings or know what the normal lids are like

I think i know who that is, and if im right hes a real stand up guy who produces some nice pulls (if it is who i think i have one of his ANH kits painted as a shadow trooper, there is a thread here somewhere with pics).

from what i understand (could be wrong) he got his ANH molds directly from the original CAP, so yes it is a recast but he did go to the maker he was casting and obtained permission (but i think i read somewhere that cap did say once he didnt care who recast him anyway).

 

Of course i could be completely wrong here lol. :unsure:

The guy is Andy and he is a very good friend of mine and a top guy. The ROTJ helmet is one of mine and cast from an original ROTJ helmet. :D

Yeah I know this stuff now you've said it's based on CAP. Andy is a good bloke. Good comms and seems a decent enough chap

 

His stuff looks great too

 

BFA on these boards I believe?

I thought Andy was DA aka Dark Armor? Isn't his stuff a mix of recast AP, CAP, PT, and SDS? Would be great to get the straight story on this side of the pond.
