Amish Trooper Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 They look like AP recasts. This is What Heatshock was pointing out in the other thread. The details are soft around the eyes among other things and to be honest with TM chiming in only confirms what Nate and I was thinking before. Sorry but I do believe these are AP recasts
TK-4510[501st] Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Definitely not AP's. Do not advertise them as being AP's. Thats bad Karma Plus AP doesnt have Hovi's. Hmm those are also eh....nevermind.
SuperTrooper Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 OK I think it's established they are recast. Now lets try to sit back and watch a build thread take place.
TK-7828 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 Maybe this thread should be moved to Do it Yourself Props Forum. It would fit right in there. Dealt with recasters in past and learned my lesson. WOW dont know what to say If this is recast then i did not know, I am not the one who recast them and THAT the three people who have bought from me can confirm ( they have seen the trackingnumber for all three helmets on theire way to me so please dont acuse me to be recasting stuff ( I have no idea how to make the plastic look like a helmet). I am new to this and when i bought the kits i bought them and got told they were ap kits. What more could i have done? i paid alot for them and i thought that that was what an old ap kit would have costed. maybee someone should move this to armor building and i can keep on posting there. for those who want to follow this project. Brgds Andreas
TK-7828 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 thanks ! I have learnd my lesson the hard way as many of you guys before...dont hate the player... brgds Andreas
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Let's be 100% crystal on this boys and girls: The Legion DOES have a stance on recasting. It states unequivocally that we DO NOT condone recasting. Andreas - by continuing to pimp out this guys helmets when it's been time and time again pointed out, again very clearly, that these are RECAST AP helmets, you are condoning his actions. It's forgivable when you buy them not knowing, but you also were in denial in finding the truth when it was pointed out to you. You will need to come clean at some point brother - even if it's in the 501st only area. You owe people your integrity, else you're throwing your lot in with these folks. Especially since you are part of a costuming club that openly and clearly states that we do not condone recasting.
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Locking until tempers cool down some.
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 This thread is open. Any post that is build related will be allowed. Any post talking about recasting at this point will be deleted. There are other threads for this. I have deleted all posts not directly related to this build, or dealing with the initial discovery of the source of the helmets. Andreas - you have indicated that you learned your lesson. Let's hope not to see more helmets after this build is complete.
