TK-4510[501st] Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 OH damn, Are you planning on recasting it so we can have some too??? "DD expert" lol Quote
Ghost Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 OH damn, Are you planning on recasting it so we can have some too??? "DD expert" lol You have to...Put my name down for the first run It's hard to tell looking at the pictures, but is it Matt, Satin or Gloss finish....looks like Humbrol #85 to me!! Quote
Billhag Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Arrr Man!!, I've been trying for years to find this sucker. I thought I had it too, when I heard rumours that a so called 'private collector' was willing to let it go. DAGNABBIT!!, missed out yet again Tony, my hat goes of to you Sir, exceptional find.....you truly are the 'DD' expert Quote
Bigturc Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Nice score Tony, I might be interested if you cast a run in rubber!!! Ye! Quote
Stomper Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 OK, I have everyone added to the interest list! The finish is a matte/satin, or maybe its a satin/matte, but as you can see I left the dust from the LFL archives on it (which PROVES it's authentic) so as to slightly distort the finish details in the photos. I can't be having StarfortressProductions, or some "other" unscrupulous re-casters use it as a 100% accurate reference to make knock-offs... not until I at least make enough selling my own copies to buy a new house (or two).

TK-4510[501st] Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Whats the official tape used in it? Will that come with the kit or is that going to be an extra option? Maybe hyperfirm will be offering authentic tape? Will there be whitehole dispensers? Quote
Murphoid Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Man, talk about making a guy feel stupid. I must ask, where was this used on screen? Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Hey DD*E.... Have you seen this recasting scumbag!!! Here The jerk proudly claims its a c-39!!!! buahahahhhahhhhaa!!!!! Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 05. Bigturc (Alain) Qty. 23 rubber versions (FISD Forums) Go on Turc!! lol. Quote
Stomper Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 Hey DD*E.... Have you seen this recasting scumbag!!! Here The jerk proudly claims its a c-39!!!! buahahahhhahhhhaa!!!!! Hey Mike, DANG IT... that's what I get for letting my FORMER friend take my ONE AND ONLY copy (that I secretly made) home for one night... he re-casted it and them made many, many meat-sock copies of it!! Well... ANYONE can plainly tell that is a TOTAL meat-sock imitation, at LEAST a 4th-gen recast! First of all, on the ORIGINAL... the "tape" isn't really tape, it's actually a "cellulose film leading tab" that you use to insert the actual ANH cellulose-film into the (then) time period's movie projectors (a real messy affair). Secondly, the ORIGINAL SCREEN USED C-38 (not C-39) was specially hand built (only I know which hand was used) and the cellulose reel is vac-formed using black HDPE, and although 12 of them were made as back-up reels, only ONE (the one I have) was actually used on screen, then the back ups were destroyed after filming was completed... all others are meat-socks! The one in that eBay auction is obviously blue and therefore TOTAL RIPOFF... only I have the original, oh yeah and I have the ONLY original molds. Obviously Starfortress is back at it again under another alias.... RE-CASTER ALERT!!!! DO NOT, I REPEAT... DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM "bmiss" on eBay, they are crooks who will rip you off!! Forum moderators, I DEMAND that you have that eBay listing removed... because it is a RIP-OFF... and ONLY I OWN the ORGINAL!! The fans would be better served by payin ME $1,000 for one copy of the ORIGINAL, rather than .99 for a TOTAL FAKE!! Quote
Stomper Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 Man, talk about making a guy feel stupid. I must ask, where was this used on screen? Hey Caleb, It was down in the cargo hold with Han, Chewie, Ben, & Luke when they were hiding from the Stormtroopers after they were tractor beamed aboard the Death Star.... trust me, its screen used!! Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah, old Ben has it in his hand when you hear him say "Who's the more foolish - the fool, or the fool who follows him?" Ya' just cant see it....... Quote
Billhag Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 screenshot WOW!!,...Nice spot Mike Have you got that in Hi-res so we can pick out all the fine detail? Apparently the best shot of it is in a deleated scene of when Luke was fixing R2 Perhaps thay might reinstate it in the up and coming Blu-ray release...fingers crossed hey? Quote
Billhag Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Hey DD*E.... Have you seen this recasting scumbag!!! Here The jerk proudly claims its a c-39!!!! buahahahhhahhhhaa!!!!! My God is nothing safe!!! I managed to contact this SCUMBAG and he said,....and I quote "I'm only using them for a student project" Yerrh right sure, as IF we haven't heard that before.....tchh!

Oh Yeah.. that's right... um... I forgot about that scene... yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!! This fact legitimately DOUBLES the price of any replicas I will produce, and yes the "cellulose-film" replicas will be an optional extra... for a slightly doubled fee! I forgot to mention earlier... if you post on this thread you AUTOMATICALLY commit yourself to buying one of my replicas... price to be determined! Quote
Ironclaw Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Put me down for 48 of them! These will be great as christmas gifts, and I'm starting my shopping early Quote
Murphoid Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Shoulda kept my mouth shut. Tony, does the amount of posts that we have in this thread influence the amount of C-38s we are committed to buying? Quote
