FIVE[501st] Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 So is this little "gap" in the frown canon, or just something you did? Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Thats to simulate the "5th tooth" thats common on most screen used buckets. The hole isnt cut but the paint has a gap there. SO how much $$$$ do you have into this bucket now? Just curious.. Quote

SO how much $$$$ do you have into this bucket now? Just curious.. That's correct Mike. I was going for that look. Well, as for money, lets see...don't have the receipts anymore, but I'd say about $150 , give or take, including the helmet itself. Got it on eBay for 116.00 including shipping. Oh, I forgot the ears, so closer to $175.00. Quote
wannabetrooper Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Posted June 9, 2008 Any update on your ears? I still havent received mine. No, no ears yet. If I don't get them in today's mail I'm going to send an e-mail. Quote
FIVE[501st] Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I believe this link is rampant on here, but here's where I ordered mine from. Quote
wannabetrooper Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah, that's who I got mine from. Quote
Murray1134[501st] Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Ordered mine from there too. Should be here in about 2 days. Quote
mark Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Ordered mine from there too. Should be here in about 2 days. I ordered my second CE Stunt from Redford Films, and it showed up all beat to hell! He doesn't double-box it, so good luck... Mine had severe rub marks on the dome from the package being tossed, and the actual packaging was nearly destroyed. (and I'm in California, just miles from the shipper!) Good luck... Quote

Thanks for the heads up on that. I'll see what shape mine arrives in, if it's bad I think I might post a warning. What shipping method did you use? I think my order was defaulted to USPS but I switched to the cheaper UPS. Quote

What shipping method did you use? I think my order was defaulted to USPS but I switched to the cheaper UPS. I got mine from Redford as well ($67 on ebay ), and it arrived in great shape by UPS. Just a roll of the dice, I guess. Quote
Double Dee Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Yah, got mine there as well, but it was double boxed. The original MR display box and a nice shipping box. Might have been messed up in delivery and they (USPS) didn't rebox it. Mine came over the border and it was in great condition. DD Quote

It might have been beat up before they shipped it to me....? Who knows, but the first CE Stunt I bought (from somebody else) showed up double-boxed. The brown box and package box were put in a larger carton, with packing peanuts, so it was perfect when it arrived. It might have been just my post office, they are pretty wierd over there! LOL!

rapstertee Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 POSSIBLY a stupid question but what is MMD putty? Its not pink so its not Bondo so I am assuming some sort of modeling putty... MMD putty, by the look of it is also known as Milliput. You can get it in two colurs - basic green/gray, and fine white. It's all purpose brilliant stuff. more expensive than bondo (or P40 inthe UK) but useful for all kinds of things. Quote

psych0ticmisfit Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Here ya go! Thinning out CE Stunt Ears oh, I meant real stormtrooper ears. I threw away the MRCE ears. I actually figured out a good way to trim the contour of the ears online. I saw it on therpf.com I will be using a contour guage. Quote
