wannabetrooper Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Has anyone seen this helmet on eBay? Looks to me like a MR CE helmet. Look at the brow and the ears. Old link, no longer exists Sly11 2020 Quote
Billhag Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 You've got to hand it to the guy,....he's taking 're-casting' to an whole new level He didn't even bother to take the bloody trims off FANTASTIC!!! Quote
SuperTrooper Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 I think I've meet this guy. He came up to the 501st table at Motor City Comic Con showing off his vac formed E-11 and electrobinoculars. The stuff is decent but not great, just way overpriced. He did say that he hopes to someday join the 501st. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Great - just what we need. I mean these helmets are pretty cheap already. What's he going to offer them at - $50 shipped? Quote
The other Jay Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Great - just what we need. I mean these helmets are pretty cheap already. What's he going to offer them at - $50 shipped? Right. And notice how he's careful to say that he didn't make them, but they were given to him from a "student production". Quote
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 haha....well the bidding starts at 9.99, maybe it wont go much higher lol id buy one for 10 bucks haha Quote
Runnriottt Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 What the... Still has the trim on it... Thats pretty horrid... Quote
TK-4224[501st] Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 waitin for a guy who is going to recast a rubies tk bucket Quote
The other Jay Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 waitin for a guy who is going to recast a rubies tk bucket Oddly enough, I knew a guy a couple years ago that sculpted the cap, back and ears of a TK and then cast a Rubies TIE for the face. it actually turned out looking really good.

TK8776 jgarrettg Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Wow... I'm speechless. Looks like he's having fun but.....I wonder what the E-11 is recast from? Quote
Nootch Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 its not a very clean pull thats for sure the right ear looks all warped. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I wonder what the E-11 is recast from? Looks like a MR recast. Thing is you can get one from MakerOfThings for less. Quote
Nootch Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 i think that actually is one of makerofthings blasters, looks identical to the one i bought from him Quote
SuperTrooper Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 i think that actually is one of makerofthings blasters, looks identical to the one i bought from him That's because they are both MR copies. EDIT: After looking at his youtube videos, I think he recast the MakerOfThings blaster. This also is the guy I saw at MCCC. EDIT2: He is also using pictures of a 501st member on his store homepage.

EDIT2: He is also using pictures of a 501st member on his store homepage. i was also looking at the extras that didn't come with the MR, such as the counter and cylinders, plus there are some little flaws on mine that are also on this one. so we've discovered an new recaster.

Jumpin Jax Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 He didn't even bother to take the bloody trims off [/b] Why should he? That's one less thing to buy. Makes sense to me Quote
riveting Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Why should he? That's one less thing to buy. Makes sense to me but it would be more to end up painting & what screen acurate paint would you have to use Quote
Jumpin Jax Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 but it would be more to end up painting & what screen acurate paint would you have to use They weren't painted, so try black Quote
