R2Dan[TK] Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Hi guys, Just to make that clear: I don't want to spark off yet another discussion about moulds, rights - or any name calling - I just wanted to show off what I recently got in the mail. As you might know CAP "has left the building" - he just recently sold his moulds and his vac table and is taking a break from the entire hobby - However, he's become a good friend apart from all the plastic craze and I have had a great many chats with him that were filled with utter madness - good times! So just before he decided to quit, he did one "last" lid for me, made from high gloss styrene, and what can I say? I absolutely love it. My crappy camera doesn't do it justice, as it won't capture all the nice details, but I wanted to show you anyway. Enough of the sentimental talk, here's the pics: I will try and get some pics of the back'n'cap with a better camera, it's pretty nice and bumpy, but my camera just won't pick that up Anyway, last a cheers to CAP! Keep rockin' bro Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Leaving the armour wars to one side for a mo, that sure does look like a nice lid Dan Quote
johnnymac Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 That is one good looking lid. Funny, I got the first one.... and you got the last! Quote
dougefresh Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Looks awesome, Dan! You did a fantastic job-- that thing is SICK! Glad my first post upon my return from the netherworld is in your thread. Quote
TK-7980 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 CAP finishes all the helmets before he sends them out. Quote
dougefresh Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 CAP finishes all the helmets before he sends them out. He painted it and everything? Sheesh-- what am I congratulating you for then, Dan? You cracked a beer. Big deal. Quote
Chefhawk[501st] Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Congrats Dan....outstanding helmet. You deserve it mate. Nothing but the best for you sir. Looking forward to seeing more pics soon cheers Quote

R2Dan[TK] Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 He painted it and everything? Sheesh-- what am I congratulating you for then, Dan? You cracked a beer. Big deal. Yep, that one was all done by CAP - hence the "Signature Edition" plaque and all The one I've painted myself is now a TD lid, all beat up and dirty... Quote

R2Dan[TK] Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 well, the moulds have been sold and the new owner is quite a cool chap as well. It might be the actual CAP's last, but the legend lives on Quote
