  1. The formed parts are from Mike, Charlie, and myself. It was a collaborative project where we all had a hand, although Mike did most of the master sculpting.
  2. Our "defense" budget could stand a reduction. We cut back on funding for public services but continually increase spending on weaponry & war. At some point we need to shift our focus. Obviously we as a country have obligations that need fulfilled but as with our other problems it will require a revolutionary change in thinking to realize that bombs don't build our future. There is a nice breakdown of the military budget on Wikipedia.
  3. That will be funnier for those who have been around a while.
  4. Because I'm not rich. We need an overhaul in this country, we've been led too long by the top 5%. They are out of touch. America's politicians should be hard-working middle class people, not billionaires who live in a whole other world. El Busheroo wants to drill for more oil, does anyone believe it will get cheaper? The folks at the top want to drill so they can squeeze some more money out of the ground. If its going for 100+ dollars a barrel and rising is there any reason to believe price will go down when demand is up on a dwindling supply? Oil production has been in plateau to demand for about 5 years now. Pushing production might prolong the plateau but it won't drive production up in comparison to demand. Major change has to come sooner or later and it will need to happen from the top down.
  5. Cushman guns are awful crap and anyone who likes them is a tosser. Sorry, I couldn't help it.
  6. I'd soften the swoop a little on the part closest to the neck closure if you go by that pattern. Nice one, I think it was done by a member here a couple of years ago. I know I have it somewhere on a back-up CD, but couldn't for the life of me find it the last time I looked. I might eventually release the pattern I came up with, if I had the means to digitize it as a correctly scaled jpeg.
  7. Hooray for discourse! I think more drilling is a band-aid solution. Nuclear power is a disaster. After just a few decades the salt-mines that were supposed to contain the waste for tens of thousands of years are seeping. As for disasters, the mighty sarcophagus that was supposed to seal off Chernobyl forever is falling apart, only 20 years on. Its time for us to check our energy consumption at every corner and work on technologies to reduce it further. I fear that won't happen though, as it wouldn't be profitable for the companies that line the pockets of our politicians. Why work to reduce our oil dependence when you can rake in $103 a barrel for crude?
  8. I think it makes you a little more imposing. Honestly you are only a few inches taller than a lot of guys. I think you should rock it.
  9. LFL's been tolerant but the new license holders may not be. Ultimately they are the ones that request action, not Lucasfilms proper, unless the issue is pretty blatant.
  10. Americans need to start living differently, bottom line. We've got 200+ years of a "wide open spaces" attitude coupled with the idea that we are somehow top dog and could care less about the long term ramifications of our actions. In typical fashion we just now start talking about things that forward-thinking people were talking about in the 1960's. Maybe if we had changed our lifestyles over the course of a few decades rather than ignoring the problems we wouldn't be facing such a crunch in the coming years.
  11. The armor doesn't look that bad. I'd be interested in seeing a set in person. The molded in trim looks a little hokey though. I'm curious to see their actual helmet as well.
  12. The bottom line is that licensed materials like this will never be accurate enough for some of us. If they can pull it off as a company, good for them. However, I doubt it will be up to par, and can bet it will be very pricey for what you get.
  13. I appreciate the kind words Chazz, great job on the weathering.
  14. Glad to hear it was nothing serious, but its still a bummer.
  15. He does use an amp but the voice is all him. When I envision Fett (prequel canon be damned) I see Darryl's face.
  16. Prepare to puke again; thats not a voice modulator.
  17. I think most guys are using the tubes from cleaning wipes etc.
  18. Well, I had fun at work that day. Looks like you guys were a hit, I saw a lot of my friends in that video. I can't wait to hit the exhibit.
