TK-9805 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Hi all! I haven't been on in a while, cause, well.......I confess, I've been working on my CLONE costume. Yeah, I said clone. Anyway, I wised-up and got back on my beautiful suit of white and I recently happened upon a link from a garrison-mate that featured Master Replicas CE Stormtrooper helmets for $90!! Yep, you heard right... $90!!! Anyway, I received mine today, and am very happy with it. I intend to trick it out, like my FX, with all internal fans, mic, mini-amp, etc. Plus I'm going to eventually replace the lenses. They're not as dark as my FX lenses, and I want my eyes to show through. In case no one else has already posted it, here's the link: --------- Shipping was SUPER fast! I live in NC, and it shipped from CA in 2 days! WOW! It's while supplies last, so happy hunting!!! Edited February 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Bigturc Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Redford Films is IMO the best AD out there. I've already done business with him a couple times and I've got nothing but positive comments! Quote
Timjim Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Got mine from Play.com, £50, free delivery. The fact that I sold my unbuilt Fx lid for the same price is even better Quote
Runnriottt Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Ordered. As soon as I get it, Ill tear into it, construct direct replacement lenses. I have a bud shipping the LE lenses to me as well. Should bolt in like the stock ones. Stay tuned... Quote
Timjim Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Was modding mine yesterday Filed teeth, replaces lenses and added new mesh and padding Also sprayed inside of helmet black. Quote
Dishnu Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Cool what did you use for Padding in the Helm Quote
Timjim Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Knee padding ------------- Just cut them up and stuck them in Edited February 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Scootch[TK] Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Great Idea! Nothing beats a good pair of knee pads! I bet that thing is comfy. I was able to take a few moments to make new lenses for my CE last week. Have a green face shield I've been whitling on for the past three helmets. Nothing fancy to report, just removed the stockers, traced around them on the face shield, cut with kitchen scissors, drilled out the holes and slapped 'em back in. Just doing that improved the bucket's looks tremendously! And I was able to peel the padding away from the stockers and re-use it. Quote

Timjim Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 The big bay, can't rmemeber what they're called now dangit, but they're in with the overalls and stuff Quote
Lizzeh Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Nice! Tim, where did you find those pads? I think they're called "portwest" or "superior" kneepads Quote
