ItsThatGuy[501st] Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Seeing as I am pretty late to this project...sorry! But GREAT work! I would love to get one of those helmets from you for display! Quote
troopermaster Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) We went to the Memorabilia show in Birmingham the other week and my son wore his suit. What can I say, EVERYONE loved it Luke had his photo taken with all the UKGarrison, plus members of the public was stopping us to have a picture taken with my son. It was a fantastic day and we all enjoyed ourselves. Unfortuantely due to my crappy photography skills, the best pics came out blurry as i had the camera on the wrong setting, but I have a couple of nice ones and I'm waiting for some to be sent to me and will post them ASAP. Here's a couple for now. Edited February 23, 2021 by Sly11 Edited to restore images Sly11 2021 Quote
carbonitekid Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 That looks well smart mate. I dare not show my nipper that P.S Am I sad for being able to recognise half of those troopers Quote
dougefresh Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Paul, as I said before-- When I was a little kid, I would have sold my own mother to pirates to get my little mitts on this suit. That's the BEST! What a cool Dad you are! Quote
BH5204[501st] Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 I love it! How many of those guys are wearing your armor? Quote
troopermaster Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 I love it! How many of those guys are wearing your armor? None of those Only a couple of UKG members have TM armour and there are not many of my suits out there. Quote
TK8280 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 None of those Only a couple of UKG members have TM armour and there are not many of my suits out there. Wow, I would have thought you'd be there official Quartermaster I know if I lived there i'd have at least two of your suits Quote
ItsThatGuy[501st] Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Yep! I want a set of TM armor myself, but I have to wait until after I finish my wife's Zam costume! Then I can upgrade my armor!!! That's plenty of motivation to finish her Zam! Quote
Smitty Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Excellent work Paul. You are truly a master at what you do! Quote
drosch Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 "I will call him...Mini Me!" Makes me want to have a son right now! From someone who considered making my own from scratch....I can only wish to have this kind of talent! Just Awesome! Quote
Smitty Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 "I will call him...Mini Me!" Thats the first thing that went thru my head when I saw the one on ebay. Quote
dougefresh Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I cannot believe no one has said anything about the fact that Paul's son is named LUKE! C'mon, people! Not one "power convertor" joke?!?!?!? I keed. I keed. Quote
Stormtrooper Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 I cannot believe no one has said anything about the fact that Paul's son is named LUKE! Not one "power convertor" joke?!?!?!? Yeah, and I happen to know that there's a Toshi Station at the end of Paul's road, too... weird, eh? Paul, amazing piece of work and he looks great surrounded by all the fullsize troopers. I'm sure that he felt like a celebrity if people were going up to him asking for photographs with him etc. etc. Have you any other kids to pass it onto after he grows out of it? (Han, Lando, Anakin?) Cheers, John Quote
troopermaster Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Well, it's been nearly a year since I posted anything in this thread, and I'm pleased to say that I have almost finished a completely new suit for my son. He turned 5 a couple of weeks ago and has grown quite a bit since I made him his last suit, so I've gone a made a larger, more accurate version. I don't have any full body pics as of yet because I had to remake some of the parts again that didn't quite fit properly, but I do have this of the helmet which is now finished. Once I have everything completely finished, I'll probably start a new thread. Here is a sneak peak at the new V3 mini helmet Edited February 23, 2021 by Sly11 Edited to restore images Sly11 2021 Quote
Lizzeh Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Thats incredibly cute and beautifully done. Awesome work Quote
TrooperKerry Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 This is AWESOME!!!!!! This is what I wanted 31yrs ago!!!!! GREAT JOB DAD! Quote
TomG[501st] Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Looks good to me. I see this small helmet is more symetrical, than original asymetrical bucket. Quote
troopermaster Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks for the kind words I see this small helmet is more symetrical, than original asymetrical bucket. Far from it actually. One eye is smaller and the other has the 'stye'. The vocoder is 'off set' and the teeth/frown is lop sided. These are very minor asymetrical differences, but there all the same. I have tried very hard to get this helmet close to the shape of the original ANH helmets, but you have to remember that a child is not physically just a small person, their body shapes are not in proportion to adults so some artistic creativity has to be applied here. Once I have the whole suit completed, maybe you will notice the asymetricity. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Paul the new helmet looks great! As well as the armor you made for Luke. Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 First class job. I have a 6 year old that wants to be an EVO Trooper just like his favorite action figure from Force Unleashed. See what you started? Quote
Billhag Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Paul Unbelievable mate, you dee MAN!! Quote
VacTrooper Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 best... dad... EVER! nice work, sir! Quote
Ph1l2007 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I think this is incredibly cute how the trooper is so little and the blaster is so big Well done on the outfit though, it's great! Quote
